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.
