The trick is to keep your old projects (passive) generating income, while adding new ones.
If you don’t babysit some sites / income-streams, things can go south and you might drop below the $2k (or whatever)!

It’s only $25 for a single loan—
... that’s like … 6 Starbucks lattes (or 4, depending on where you live)!
But seriously, it feels great to be a kiva lender. I highly recommend it!
I now give Kiva gift certificates for christmas & birthday presents.
It seems like such a better gift than more material things!
Also have donated to the Kiva parent non-profit company. They deserve major props for setting up the site & coordinating with the local loan managers!
