Valentines Day proves everyone wrong, who ever believed that love is priceless. On this particular day when people celebrate love everything has a price tag. A price that will hit you a lot more than love ever managed to. So the best way to keep love without hating your pocket is by having long lost discussions with your partner about how love should have no material value, but make sure you start having such discussions at least a month is advance. It’s also not a bad decision to put this on your new year resolution and follow it very strictly because all other resolution that you made for this year were already ruined in the very first month, and you plan to keep at least one of them till next few centuries. Or else you will end up losing respect for yourself.
