Do you think we could start a SECRET MN economy?

[eenybeeny]

Last night I was brainstorming about money. How I need some and some friends of mine need some (some friends on MN)

I was thinking. Now I am no money expert in fact I am pretty crap at it at times and I havent totally thought this through but I was just wondering.

What if every month everyone on MN gave up one pound. Say in month 1 you all give me 1 pound. I would have A LOT of money. Then the next month we all give someone else 1 pound. And so on and so forth. What we give out is minimal - I put more than that in charity boxes each month. But one month at a time a MNer and her family would get a windfall. Ok I know there are a lot of us so it would take a long time to get around to everyone but... would it work?? Somehow we will have to keep it secret from the wider world or everyone in the world would want to join MN and it would never ever end. But... am I really dumb? Is this possible?

Ahh I thought we were talking £1 a day.

I think paypal would be good.

I do think this is a good idea. I'm sure there area alot of mumsnetters that would benefit from this but it would need very stringent rules. I.e. only mumsnetters that are registered with mumsnet from the start date could apply so as to stop anyone from joining.

You'd also need to get everyone on MN to know about it.
Maybe speak to MN HQ?

really NBG you think I should persue it? I am glad you like the idea! I agree about the start/joining date thing.
