what a cute idea…. but i’d be too ashamed to tell my holiday debt story to millions of folks across the www. i’d wind up runner-up or something, with not a dime as consolation prize, but instead just the humiliating recount of my foolish spending habits accessable to everyone via youtube for a good, hearty laugh. lmao!
You know I was here thinking the same thing! I dont know if Jean wants me putting him on blast like that!!!
Thanks for the post mention Ginger! I agree that the embarrassment factor can be a slight deter, but that’s what the written submission is for
