The Internet is a ceaseless font of opportunities to spend waste your money, even if you’ve sworn never to click on a Facebook ad. The latest is five dollar store called Fiverr.com, which allows merchants, bored people and ne’erdowells across the net to advertise tasks they’re willing to provide in exchange for a Lincoln. It’s like Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, but in reverse and less mechanical (read: much weirder). After perusing the site for the first time, I made a handy short list of services that may well come in use if you’ve got an extra five dollars burning a hole in your pocket.
