Friendly reminder about Christmas Gifts!!

[pete0]

DO NOT buy toys,

DO NOT buy gift cards,

DO NOT buy "happy holidays" Greeting cards,

Infact DO NOT even buy video games/ consoles...

They r simply bad gifts...

-----

Instead, buy them EXPERIENCES.

for example instead of a lazy gift card, send them a gift of a nice Massage/ SPA / Fancy Restaurant etc.

Tickets to family bowling... etc.

--------------------

Interesting Stat:

64% of Gen-Z say the #1 thing that will make them "happy" is money...

Wow! This is a great suggestion, Pete.

Material stuff fades and forgets, but experience is a memory that will last a lifetime.

Is this what you did this holiday season?

 

[BMR Genie]

The remaining % for the Gen-Z that will make them "happy" is the phone.

There are many other good reasons other than bankruptcy, JJ. Especially, if it's not true.

I have given tickets for a play or a concert many times. Usually well received.

Under our tree this year:

1. Paintball tickets and equipment rentals
2. Ice skating tickets
3. Shen Yun tickets.

Family is getting some culture this year…lol.

The remaining % for the Gen-Z that will make them "happy" is the phone.

99% of the population does not even use 90% of capabilities of a modern smart phone.

But yes, the Remaining % goes to Tik tok/equivalent. Then clothes/partying/booze/sex etc.
->Last comes, food & shelter. ( Things every billion-aire is supposed to be grateful for )

Guys, people will read a silly greeting card & then throw it in the trash.

If you're thinking what I think you're thinking then we should not be using rubbers.

I'm fighting homelessness among many, many, other things,
that most ppl dont need to usually deal with ever in their lives.

I'm fighting for my "freedom" as a christmas gift,
I would be happy with that.
