If you're looking to turn that soul-shattering breakup into a quick and easy $1k, one particular firm has a really weird proposal for you:
[F]inanceBuzz is looking for anyone who has had a recent breakup and wants to work through their heartache by listening to breakup songs for a whole day. The DJ of Heartache will be tasked with listening to some of the most iconic heartbreak songs and categorizing them into five playlists based on every breakup phase. The phases are the same as the five stages of grief, which include denial, anger, relapse, depression, and acceptance. Hopefully, through this process, you'll be able to mend your broken heart and move on with some extra cash in your bank account to truly treat yourself.
FinanceBuzz claims that it is creating a suite of "ultimate break-up playlists," which is really kind of unsettling.
But whatever—it's $1,100, right?
Seriously, though...think of your dignity. Think of what you'll look like listening to all of those sad songs.
Well, again... it's $1,100 dollars. So I guess folks will just have to deal with it.
And how did the company come up with that particular sum, you ask?
We estimate it takes someone at least $1,100 to get back on their feet after a break up. There's the Netflix subscription you're no longer sharing ($20/month), the premium dating profile so you can find your rebound (another $20/month), a few therapy sessions ($600 — therapy is expensive!) and, of course, some ice cream for when it's time to eat your feelings ($20).
Okay, real question: Do you start up a Netflix subscription with whoever it is you're dating? I thought we were all on our parents' accounts until we or our parents kick the bucket.
