Credit Card Debt? Great website!
| Mon, 04-25-2005 - 4:26pm |
A lot of you have probably already heard of it, but this girl REALLY inspired me so I thought I'd pass it on:
She had $20,000 of credit card debt and started a panhandling website to pay it off. Hard to explain.
I know the idea will make a lot of you nauseous, but when you look at everything she did in addition to the website it really is inspiring. She:
1. Auctioned off all her frivolous purchases on Ebay.
2. Cut down on every possible expense.
She had the debt payed off in like 18 weeks.

i read her book. i enjoyed it and thought it was funny, but was annoyed at the same time. She wasn't in debt over medical bills or student loans, she was in debt from buying designer clothes and purses. So I don't exactly feel sorry for her. I bet now that she got other people to pay her debts off she's running up her cards on more fancy clothes so she can keep up with the Joneses.

Yup! That is probably what she is doing. Although it does sound like a good idea to sell stuff you no longer need on E-Bay.

Definitely!! I have made hundreds of dollars doing just that! I just wish I could say I used it to pay my debt and not to buy more stuff on ebay!! ;)
