About National Splurge Day
According to dictionary.com, to "splurge" is to "indulge oneself in some luxury of pleasure."
The holiday was started by Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith in 1994 when she decided she was fed up with traditional holidays. However Koopersnith's intention was that it wasn't about frivolous spending for the sake of it, but to treat yourself to something using the money you had saved or earned in the two months since doing your tax return.
