How do all these people afford to shop Black Friday?

[Raine]

23. My mother was a shopaholic, she used credit cards and would

hide the bills from my father. We were always in debt, fighting between my parents when he eventually found out, promises to never do it again but still did. I loved my mother but she had problems because of childhood abuse from her mother. I guess the shopping and all the stuff she bought made her feel like she was worth something.
