With Black Friday Coming up, many of you might be planning to "shop til you drop." But here are some signs that you may need to turn that spending light to yellow before you crash and burn.

Signs you need to be careful this Black Friday: (From Dave Ramsey)

1. You’ve set your alarm to wake up early and beat the crowds.

2. You don’t trust your alarm and are instead sleeping outside the store the night before Black Friday.

3. You’re resisting eating turkey on Thanksgiving because it makes you too sleepy to really “get your shop on.”

4. You personally call it “Happy Friday,” not Black Friday.

5. The only websites you have bookmarked are underground blogs that post secret info about Black Friday deals.

6. On Black Friday, you buy stuff you already own multiple copies of just because it’s heavily discounted.

7. You drink five coffees before the stores open.

8. You wear a hydration backpack full of coffee the entire day.

9. You scout stores a week before Black Friday in order to figure out the fastest, most efficient routes to take in the aisles.

10. You hustle people home before they’ve finished Thanksgiving dinner because you want to make sure you get enough sleep for Black Friday.

11. Your envelope system has caught on fire in the middle of a Black Friday because you’re using it so much.

12. You turn your copy of The Total Money Makeover over on your coffee table because you don’t want Dave to see how many things you buy on Black Friday.

Humorous? Yes. Serious? Maybe.
