Committee of Ten: Budget Bloopers

Member Profile: Bertha, The Budget Bungler

Bertha, The Budget Bungler, is our resident expert in all things fiscal disaster.

With a proven track record of turning $10,000 budget surpluses into $10,000,000 budget deficits, Bertha is the go-to person for any organization looking to make a financial mess.

Bertha's Budgeting Philosophy:

Our fearless leader believes that the key to a good budget is to spend all your money on unnecessary things, like:

• Unmarked pens that write in glitter
• Unsustainable energy drinks
• Unaffordable art pieces for the conference room
• Unnecessary vacation homes in Tuscany

Recent Budget Bloopers:

We've had the pleasure of witnessing the following budgeting masterpieces, courtesy of Bertha:

• The infamous "I-Need-a-Really-Big-Desk" saga, which resulted in a $50,000 desk that was only 5 feet tall.
• The "Let's Buy-All-the-Flamingos" incident, where we bought 10,000 flamingos to decorate the conference room, only to realize they were all actually just cardboard cutouts.
• The "Why-Not-a-Private-Jet" debacle, where we spent $500,000 on a jet that was only for display purposes.
