Buy my rock, get out of debt

File this under stupid PR pitch of the day. It’s from a company called Messagerocks.com, which sells motivational slogans etched in rocks.

One rock is emblazoned with the saying “Do I really need this?” and on the other side it says “I love being free of debt.”

I kid you not.

Pocket rock

They also have a gambling rock that says “Lady luck is with me.” and on the flip side: “I am a winner.”

The price? $29.95 plus shipping and handling.

I have an idea. Go outside. Grab a rock. Grab a Sharpie. There you go.

Wow, it is almost as if they were thinking - to get into debt people must love spending and therefore we can exploit them! I agree with the rock and sharpie idea - I have a better method in my house - my goal written down on a piece of papaer in a place where I look at it each day.

It’s got to be a joke right?
