Spreading the Wealth

It feels wonderful. I'm so lucky in this difficult economic time in America to have enough money to not only be comfortable but to give back.

I just lent $100 to Kiva.org and the impact just that little bit can make on others is amazing. If you're not familiar with Kiva.org its a site that organizes loans between independent entrepreneurs in 3rd world countries and struggling economies around the world. All I had to do was pick who I wanted to loan to, how much, and my account info.

The people picked get 100% of what you loan, and then they have between 6 months and a year to pay it back, then Kiva.org reimburses you, or you can chose to lend that money out to others. I can't wait to see the progress these folks make!
