A local Jacksonville man filed bankruptcy today after spending $51,250 on Facebook birthday charity fundraisers over the course of a year. "I wanted my friends to think I was a very generous guy, and that I was doing well financially." He explained. "I would see my friends thanking everyone who donated, and I wanted to be thanked too, I didn't want them thinking I didn't care about them, or worse, that I didn't care if inner-city kids could read, or if babies got cancer." The man decided he would donate $50 to each of his 1,025 Facebook friends' birthday charity fundraisers. "I guess I didn't realize how much money that would end up being," he says, "but I didn't want to be the loser that only donates a few dollars. I make about $60,000 a year, which isn't bad, but with all the donations I quickly got behind on my bills, I lost my house, my car, and I had to hock my entire collection of rare Magic The Gathering cards just to buy some ramen noodles." He went on to explain that he looks forward to a fresh start, and will make better decisions in the future. When asked what she thinks about the fact that he won't be donating this upcoming year, his long-time Facebook friend Tiffany said, "The charity means a lot to me, and it makes me feel like he's cheap, and doesn't care about me."
