Kiva Crazy

So here is what I am about to do. I have promised myself that I will put aside enough money to pay for the Latitude festival next summer. I haven’t done so yet because I wasn’t sure how I could effectively designate a set sum of money in my account as for being for that purpose. Sure I could simply remember – but I’m no good at that sort of thing and what with it all being in the same pot I am sure I would simply forget and spend it.

And then it struck me! Whalla! Send the money abroad for six months!! That will keep it out of harms way until I need it to buy my tickets!

I will therefore use www.kiva.org to leave my Latitude money in the capable of hands of an assortment of entrepreneurs around the world until April when the tickets go on sale! By then they will all have paid me back and I can go and purchase my ticket! What good is that capital doing lying in my account? How much interest will I lose out on? A pound? Five pound? That’s just boring!

My money deserves much better – so ill send it off on a little adventure – if I can’t go on a tour of Eastern Europe I see no reason why I should stop my money from doing so!
