Another thing that is catching on is the website prosper.com, where
you can help others who need a loan, and you get a certain rate of
return. as with any loan, there is a risk that the borrower will notrepay, but the borrowers are rated, so you have a decient idea of the
risk involved. I haven’t done this yet, just because I think I’ll
achieve better returns by paying off my bills first, LOL. but I’llbe doing it once I’m beyand that hurdle. Has anyone else done this?
