Growing up, one of the things I loved about Thanksgiving was the day after Thanksgiving - Black Friday. I'd beg my mom to get up at 4 AM and drive us to the mall so we could shop until we dropped. After all, Black Friday is one of the biggest shopping days of the year; there was no excuse not to go. To me, it was officially Christmastime.

Black Friday is exactly seven days away. You've probably already started getting circulars and have seen commercials from retailers in your area all but begging you to come shop in their stores. As you gear up for holiday shopping, think about how you're going to spend. Do you have money saved up? Or are you planning to use your credit cards?

The biggest shopping day of the year can easily become the biggest "get into debt" day if consumers aren't careful. Here are Five Tips To Avoid Sinking Into Holiday Debt.
