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.”

What principle would that be- entitlement ? My dad only tips the waitress if she's hot and flirts with him. He's so embarrassing that we openly apologize (and tip) for him.

I do have to confess that I'd like to see if money truely can't buy happiness. After all, it can buy a decent therapist to help discover why you aren't happy...
