Wink Why didn't I think of this?

The NY Times had an article today about this woman who has started a website to enlist people to give her $1 each to help her pay off her $20k credit card debt.

Silly me for actually *working* to pay off the debt I racked up in college...

I think this is pretty funny, but I cannot believe people are actually sending her money!

Thanks for sharing!

I just read through her entire site and was actually quite entertained. She's pretty funny, and her posts remind me of my 20something credit card frenzy phase (and yes, my debt was worse than hers, too.) While I certainly wouldn't take to asking (or begging) others to settle my big mistake (and managed to clear it all by myself without filing bankruptcy), I suppose it is an alternative.

I don't think I'll send her money, but I'm always up for a good ebay deal! I may have learned my lesson on credit card usage... but I'm still a shopaholic

Hmmmmmm.... I've got a heck of a student loan that's got me in a choke hold right now.... perhaps.... LOL

Mai

hawaiiagd, have you read Confessions of a Shopaholic or Shopaholic Takes Manhattan? They're both funny books that are a similar writing style to this girl's website.
