July 4th Celebration Spending [2015/7/4]

Happy Independence Day!

I love great food, great time with family and friends, and fireworks. But I think we need

moderation. According to Forbes,

• an average American  spend $68.16 on BBQing.
• in 2010, $341.4 million was spent on beer
• spent lot of money on firework.

Of course, we should celebrate 4th of July but I think it will be equally enjoyable even if we ate and drank less and blew up things less.

The saved money could be used a rain day fund, donations, or seed money for a new business.

Trust me, you can eat about $60 worth off BBQ and you will be quite happy. One less

bottle of beer will probably save you from embarrassment and extra work out to burn of

the fat. And you can blow up one less thing and save money, less pollution, and lower

risk of potential injury.

So for 2016's 4th of July, let's be more prudent and spend less. God bless America
