- techresearcher, on 10/10/2007, -1/+42Am i the only one who doesn't get it?
- AnotherThought, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20I have to say this is very interesting: what a nice way to share secrets and things you believe anonymously - what a way to open some huge closets..
First 25 Confessions:
“I took all of my children’s savings to help pay for my face-lift”
“I lost my job 3 weeks ago and I still haven’t told my wife.”
“I don’t believe people that say money can’t make you happy.”
“People think that I’m poor because of the way I dress. I have over $1 million in the bank.”
“I am the Joneses.”
“I date men for their money.”
“I hated my parents when they wouldn’t give me everything my friends got. It was the best lesson they ever taught me.”
“I know my co-workers’ secrets because I go through their desk drawers when they leave. If the leave candy, stamps or money, I take it as my payment for keeping quiet.”
“I didn’t care about money until I didn’t have it anymore.”
“When my wife asked where I got the money, I told her that I had saved it. I really took a second mortgage out on our house.”
“I steal things even though I have the money to pay for them.”
“When people ask how I can afford my lifestyle, I tell them that I won the lottery. I have $80,000 in credit card debt”
“I can’t afford my wife.”
“The biggest mistake I ever made was choosing money over my family.”
“You know those Nigerian scam artists you read about? I am one of their victims.”
“My father thought that money would buy my love. All I wanted was his love.”
“My job is convincing people to buy things they don’t need. I’m good at it, but I hate myself every day.”
“I’d give up all my money and success to know who my birth mother is.”
“Lending money to my friend cost me my closest friendship.”
“I don’t care what people say. Money CAN solve all problems if you have enough.”
“I’m a millionaire and I still pick up pennies off the sidewalk.”
“I spent over $10,000 preparing for the Y2K disaster that never happened.”
“When I see poor people, I think it is their own fault.”
“I had to place my dog into the pound due to lack of money. I wish I hadn’t. I wonder if someone adopted him?”
“I don’t leave tips on principle no matter how good the service.” - neoblaque, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15www.postsecret.com is the original.
- prabjot, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12WTF is this? honestly i didnt get it :(
- isuisorisuaint, on 10/10/2007, -4/+14i only came in here because i thought the title said Monkey Confession [Pic]
- gmiley, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10So it would be better that the dog was malnourished? Would you rather keep a kid and have it starve or give it up in hopes that it might be placed into a better environment? I think you should be the one that is ashamed.
- LotusWolf, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9no...just the internet is running out of links so people are having a hard time finding something good to post.
- carltonsmith, on 10/10/2007, -5/+12you're right. dogs, children - same thing.
/sarcasm - thanethane, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Next on the featured article: Confession 42 - I ripped off postsecret.com to make this blog.
- AnotherThought, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6your wife's been AD Block'd
- MemphisIS, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Here's one.
"I spent a ton of money on this webserver and it still got pwned by Digg." - ShazerFox, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3er...I think he's using the billboard as some sort of a social commentary? I dunno....
- timlee, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Aren't all of these from PostSecret?
- doktorrocket, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I think you DO get it, in it's entirety, there just isn't much there. You've come to expect more from an article that reaches the front page.
Instead you get a short financial confession below a vaguely-related picture hastily produced from a google image search.
Oh, and there are 50 of them, spread across multiple pages, naturally, for maximum clicking. - hiPpymIck, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2..im getting living beyond your means
(because you believe you deserve more than you actually have - also known as not being able to add up) - fishbert, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2how vain!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4I could type out sentences explaining how wrong you are, but I think it's more simple just to call you an idiot.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2But if the person doesn't have the money to feed the dog, much less his/her kids, don't you see how it makes sense? I think it's much more humane than what most people seem to do. I live in the first country town over from a small city, and lots of people dump cats and dogs on my road -- mostly up at the farm down the street, but some in my yard. Just this year I got up in the morning and saw a tipped over box filled with wet cat food, and I would see kittens running into the swamp when they saw me for a couple of weeks.
I'm sure they died.. and before you go calling me a monster for not calling animal control or adopting them I have a few things to say.
1) My cat was an abandoned kitten
2) the farm now has probably over 100 feral cats living near the barns where they give them milk, and others that go far out from there after being rejected by the other cats. This population is entirely made up of or descended from drop-offs.
3) Animal control doesn't give a ***** about abandoned pets unless they're rabid. Until then they're more concerned about wild animals like raccoons, skunks, bears, and fisher cats. - Piedramente, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3***** that. There are plenty of FREE ways to make a confession
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Not everyone in the world is as lucky as you are mobilehavoc
- mobilehavoc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I don't get the argument that you don't have money to feed a dog. My dog will eat anything, when he was a puppy he ate his own poop! I just think it's a cop out and unfair because the poor dog/cat did nothing wrong but in worst cases die for it. I think people take it too lightly....pisses me off.
- Doomsan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1mirror?
- monsterenergy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Is that the right link?
- DeadRooster, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Thank you for giving me the biggest laugh I've had in months! HILARIOUS!
- Dquinz63, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1How could you be so foolish, it's not even Tuesday.
- wiggles, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Here's the site with all 25 of the previous 'confessions': http://www.savingadvice.com/blog/2007/08/05/101669_photo-essay-25-money-confessions.html
- wontstoptalking, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Well then you shouldn't put it online for the world to see. I'm sure they want their privacy.
- Frezzle, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1i want some ***** money, give me money send it all to joe_blow-@-hotmail-DOT-com
- wiggles, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Basically, the guy is taking ads that try to convince people to buy stuff they can't afford and tries to put a humorous caption to it from that perspective, kinda like that commercial with the guy who says "I have a huge house, a luxury car, etc. How do I afford it? I'm in debt up to my eyeballs!"
- AngryVoklav, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Really, if you're kids are malnourished because you're broke, you should keep spending that money on dog food and vet bills, because giving up your dog would be just as bad as starving your kids. Either that, or put your kids up for adoption.
- mobilehavoc, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1You jackasses misunderstood my comment. Guess I shouldn't have expected any more from Digg. Go do the research on what happens to dogs in pounds that aren't adopted...they get put down you morons. I never said you should pick a dog over a kid. I'm saying you wouldn't put your kid for adoption so why your dog?
- mobilehavoc, on 10/10/2007, -14/+8As a dog owner this one sickens me: "“I had to place my dog into the pound due to lack of money. I wish I hadn’t. I wonder if someone adopted him?”
To me it's no different than sticking your kid in an adoption agency because you're broke. They should be ashamed. - ONELOVE23, on 10/10/2007, -8/+2My money confession. "I found an Asian wife." (see ad top right).
