Prime day(s) start tomorrow. So what is it?

Prime day: Pounding your credit card to go into debt for stuff you don't want or need, for the purpose of impressing people you don't even like.

It doesn't matter if I buy something on Prime Day or any other day. If I need something from them I'll order it. Also, I don't go into debt buying from Amazon since I pay my VISA bill in-full every month.

I just heard on the local news Amazon expects to sell $23 billion dollars on Prime Day sales. Like the local news anchor said, "don't go into debt for something you don't need."
