How I did it: just kept doing it regularly for a couple years, and they added up.... =)best to do it with daily regularity... you have more cheers if you cheer regularly and people return some fraction of them, so at some points i would have upwards of ten cheers to hand out each day, and that really helps spread them around and add up... Read how I did it…
this is actually turning out to be easy—as loans are paid back month by month, the amount of new funds i need to add to make the new loan are decreasing…
the only problem-an i use the word quite loosely-is that kiva lending has become so popular that often times i go to make a loan, and there are no loans left to make as everyone has fulfilled them already, which is great…
i really find the whole process rewarding… highly recommended…
got my blood work back today, and all results were normal and good, save for HDL which could be a bit higher. All in all, nice to have some good news on an otherwise stressful day…
