I’m finally getting on the bandwagon. I need to setup an ebay account asap, I have so much crap, the first thing that I am going to put up for sale is my Bridesmaid dresses. Any plus size girls need a dress?!
Also, I heard through the “blog-vine” that someone by the name of “broke bride-to-be” started a blog not too long ago asking for donations to help pay for her wedding. It totally made me think of “Save Kayrn”. I LOVED that book, Kayrn is the reason I even started writing a blog. (It turns out to be good therapy too!) So the question is; should I ask people for donations like Kayrn and Broke bride-to-be? I haven’t decided yet, I kinda want to do it on my own, but at the same time, HAVE YOU SEEN HOW MUCH DEBT I HAVE? I am pretty anal about being organized, so I have a very detailed budget and debt pay off plan, so if I stick to it I will be free of credit-card debt by June 2011. I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, I’m going to start selling stuff and see where that gets me.
I think that -- just from my own experience -- that there's never harm in asking. I do think, though, that if you have a talent or something to offer in return, you should always do that first. Check out my post on my fundraiser for moving expenses. I know a lot of folks back home who've thrown parties for vacation expenses and the like. No shame in offering something in return!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment! I was starting to wonder if anyone was even reading my blog! So, thank you for the ray of hope! You’ve got me thinking now, “What can I offer in return?” I’m stubborn and hard-headed and I’d like to think that I can do things on my own… but lets be real, have you seen my debt tally?! Again, many thanks for your comment and the words of advice. Good luck to you and your hubby to be!
