A day off in the middle of the week can seem kind of pointless but heck we’ll take it where we can get it. Days off= shopping days. The thing about 4th of July though is that it’s right after rent is due. I know what you’re thinking. “ How does the universe expect me to enjoy all these holiday sales when I’m trying to be a responsible adult after (keyword being AFTER) paying all my bills in a timely fashion?
