funny idea to become debt free lol

in Debt-free wannabe
Well , just had this idea on how we could all become debt free. Doubt it would work though.

If every member on this site (its in excess of 100000 members) donated me £0.35p I could pay off all my debt.

Then the next person gets out of debt the same way untill all us DFW are free lol. Even if it cost me £500 in donations to all you debt free wannabes Id be well happy as this is nothing compared to the debt!!!

Dont worry, I know im mad, nevermind, lets all just plod along and pay our debts lol

    I think this is a great idea.

    Sounds a bit pyramid, but Im up for it.

    I can make 35p easily now by doing 4 cliuck throughs on quidco. So effectively this wouldnt really cost anyone anything.

    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    I thought of this one a few weeks ago. I reckon everyone could get everyone out of debt really quickly if everyone on the mailing list made a tiny donation - I thought Paypal would be a good way of doing it.

    35p anyone?

    we could organise it as who gets the money first in order of the DF nerds numbers?

    But if everyone donates to everyone, then you'd be paying out loads as well as getting loads in, so it would negate itself. Say 10,000 members, that's £3500 you'd have to pay out!

    But if you receive £3500, you would also have to pay out £3500, so you'd be back to square one. (Unless of course you received the cash, then never paid the others ;) )
