5 reasons not to spend a lot of money on Valentine's Day
You don't have to empty your wallet to show someone you love them, especially when you're fresh from a rather expensive holiday.
Unless money is not a concern for you, you should limit your spending on this occasion for the following 5 reasons, according toForbes:
It is not a very important holiday.
People often feel obligated to celebrate Valentine’s Day, even though they are not really excited and are single. So they try to have a date or hang out with friends when they don’t necessarily have to. In reality, it’s a holiday that shouldn’t be celebrated too much. If you are in a relationship, express your love every day, don’t wait for an occasion.

Everything is more expensive
Whether it’s a bouquet of flowers, a gift, a chocolate bar, or a dinner at a restaurant, the price can be a little more expensive than usual. Why not give gifts or eat out on the 15th or later, instead of having to save it all for 14th February?
There are better things to spend your money on.
The flow of life does not stop on a certain day. You may be struggling with a lot of expenses such as rent, debt, food, etc. Therefore, sometimes a stuffed animal or an expensive bouquet of flowers or a heart-shaped candle will not bring as much joy as useful things that can be used every day. In general, you do not need to follow the crowd and waste money on expensive things that everyone buys on this day.
Going out and eating that day is easy to get into trouble.
Restaurants are crowded, streets are more likely to be congested... on this day. Will you experience interesting, romantic things in that setting? Therefore, staying at home together, having a delicious meal, watching a funny movie is probably a better choice.
There are ways to express love without spending a dime.
If you want your spouse or partner to know how much you love them and how much you value Valentine’s Day, write a heartfelt message on a sticky note. You can even cut it into a heart shape and decorate it yourself. Don’t say that coming home early or cooking a meal is a Valentine’s gift to your loved one, because you should do that any day of the year.
