Location:
Dundee, Angus, United Kingdom
I loan because:
What is $25 worth to me?
It is 11 weeks of buying a tv guide when I can get the information for free on the internet.
It is 7 days of parking tickets when I drive my car to work instead of walking there in 20 minutes.
It is 6 days of buying lunch instead of getting up ten minutes earlier in the morning and making lunch at home to take with me for a fraction of the cost.
It is 2 books when I can borrow them from the library for free.
It is 2 dvds when I have too many already.
It is 1 computer game when I should interact more with people and less with electronics.
It is 1 take away pizza when I have food in the house that will probably go out of date before it is eaten.
It is 1 month of what I spend on chocolate.
I am lucky, I have a good paying job and little financial commitments. I can buy the food I want, I live in a secure environment, I have a comfortable home. I can give up the above luxuries and invest the money in someone who has not had the opportunities, the advantages and benefits that I have had.
It will not alter my life that much, and it will make me a better, healthier and more sociable person.
About me:
I work for a university recruiting students and looking at applications.
