Dear Groupon,
Please stop tempting me to buy things that I do not really need. I appreciate that through the power of collective buying a helicopter tour of my fair city comes to me at the low, low price of $150, but I do not need to get around town this way. Who does that? I understand that I am saving money by purchasing a $10 coupon that is really worth $25 at my favorite restaurant, but am I really saving money? It sounds like you've tricked me once again into eating another dinner out when I have a fridge full on wonderful food. Your deceptive marketing tempts me away from my resolve of financial responsibility.
Dave Ramsey would not approve. Therefore, my one-time good friend, I'm putting you on a short leash. Please rest assured that the next time I have money in my budget for a month of unlimited hot yoga classes or professional teeth whitening, you'll be the first one I call. I promise that it's not you, it's me.
Love,
Kate
