 Has anyone heard of this? I recall a site somewhere which lets you set up a goal and deposit some money, and if you don't reach the goal in the specified time frame, your money goes to some charity or other cause. for example ... if you didn't meet your goal, the money could be set to be donated to a cause you don't support, as motivation to reach the goal. Anyways, I was just curious as to whether anyone has heard of this, as I can't seem to find it through Google.      |

| I don't know, either this is a great motivator or a lot of people are going to be giving to charity.

| Ha! Interesting concept. I think it could work. Our fear of losing something is usually greater than our desire to gain a reward.

| You might even use a friend to depoisit the money, peer pressure is another good motivator for goal archivement.

| hey you can send me the money and if you don't achieve your goals i keep it. it's a good thing to do to this with someone you don't like. give them the money and tell them that it's their if you don't achieve your goal.
