Someone’s Debt Secret

by

One man had the idea of starting a blog where he featured the secrets of others. If you had a secret, all you had to do what to send him a postcard with your secret and send it to his address. He would go through them and post some of them on his blog.

That idea turned into something bigger. His site is now the “largest advertisement-free Blog on the web” and he has books where he has published the secrets of others.

The site is called Post Secret. I used to check out the site more regularly (the site is updated with new secrets on Sunday), but I actually forgot about the site for a little while there. Sometimes the secrets are funny, sometimes they are downright sad.

I have to thank Chris for bringing to my attention one of the latest secrets:

Depressed and in Debt

How very true that secret is, and I think it perfectly depicts the struggle that some of us in debt face. The words are powerful, and so is the postcard itself. While other postcards are fancier, this one was done on a white postcard using two different colored markers. That’s all.

15 words + 1 postcard = Strong Message about Debt

Modest Needs – Small Change, A World of Difference

by

Looking around my site, you’ll see that I have a little graphic ad on the left hand side. Above it, I wrote “Great Organization.” This is not a paid ad, and I receive no compensation for having the ad on my site. Rather, that ad is there because I want it to be there.

I’ve discussed Modest Needs before, but I haven’t mentioned them in a while. To read what I wrote about them before, you can click here. For those new to reading my blog, I wanted to point them out again.

If you are experiencing a difficult time financially due to unforseen circumstances, you can turn to Modest Needs. A few examples of people they have helped:

If you have some tissue handy, go ahead and read the testimonials page.

I love this organization, and I support it 100%. There are many requests that are looking to be funded, so if you are looking for an organization to support, you can become a donor at Modest Needs. Right now, thanks to a matching grant, your donation will be matched dollar for dollar. So if you donate $10, it turns into $20 that can help a family through a difficult time and hopefully keep them from the downward spiral that many of us in debt can probably relate to.

So if you need a little help, maybe Modest Needs can help you. Or, if you are looking for an organization to support, perhaps Modest Needs is one you would like to help. This organization does not spend their donations on advertising. Rather, they are hoping word of mouth will get the word out about them. I’m proud to help spread the word.
