I have recently taken a liking to Kiva.org which allows you to microfinance entrepreneurs around the globe. For as little as a one time fee of $25 you are able to invest in individuals and businesses and make a difference in the world. Give it a shot, you won't regret it.
Another great website that I have just started using is
Prosper.com
You become a lender and or borrower without the high interest rates of banks or credit card companies. For instance, if you need a loan, individuals loan the money to you for a set interest rate. Or perhaps you want to make money by being a lender. You can set the interest rate that you are willing to loan money for and people accept your loan provisions. Lending starts at as little as $50 per loan.

If you have noticed that the pile of CDs in your spare room seems to be continually growing and growing at the same pace that mine has been, it is perhaps time that you check out the website Secondspin.com SecondSpin.com. When going to the local CD store that buys your albums simply does not seem to reap the benefits you are hoping for, SecondSpin has quickly become my new favorite way to unload dusty old CDs.
