Quotas!
Quotas! Well, now that Thanksgiving is over and so many of us are “thankful” for our families, friends, and whatever else we post on social media….how many of us are truly grateful and appreciative on a daily basis?

Lol….this is a day which follows a day of giving “THANKS”…… Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all about saving some money, but where has it become more important to save money, that we’re more willing to give time and energy to such a day, when we put less value on our own lives In this episode, I don’t fully talk about Black Friday…..
