Have you ever had an idea and just thought, “I wish the economy wasn’t so bad so that I could get this idea moving and maybe make me some money.” Well, you are in LUCK!!! There is this website that has started and it making dreams come true for those with ideas that they wanted to get out there.
Kickstarter.com is the new way that people are starting to get their ideas out to the public and ALSO get people to help support them in what they want to do.
What this website does is it helps get your ideas out to the public and help you raise money for those ideas:
- It’s less risk for everyone. If you need $5,000, it’s tough having $2,000 and a bunch of people expecting you to complete a $5,000 project.
- It allows people to test concepts (or conditionally sell stuff) without risk. If you don’t receive the support you want, you’re not compelled to follow through. This is huge!
- It motivates. If people want to see a project come to life, they’re going to spread the word.
The funny thing is, a local band actually did this and is trying to get money to go out on tour. “For a pledge of $250, for example, the donor will receive a Denny’s waffle dinner with the band. For a pledge of $750, the band will write a song for the donor that will be performed on tour, recorded and filmed.” (sltrib.com)
So anyone can do this and anyone can contribute. What ideas do you have that you would want to get out to the rest of the world to see if they support you in your efforts? What do you think about this site and trying to get people out of their slump of not having any work for their dreams? Let us know.

nking that we should be doing something, but school is out, work is scarce, and it’s not always easy to find things to do that are cheap, free, or just plain old FUN!
My husband and I recently needed to do a double take on our vacation plans. The vacation we had originally planned was going to be a two week trip across country. This sounded like a great idea and we have been saving money for this trip since last year. Our concern came when we saw the gas prices rise (again)! So, we needed to recalculate our spending. Did we really want to spend $1000.00 on gas just to take a trip? We decided this was not what we wanted to do. We looked into trips we could take in a closer proximity to where we live. We decided on taking a trip to Yellowstone.
