Hi all, I wanted to share this service that I’ve been using for the past couple of months, Beeminder . The idea is that you pledge a small amount of money, e.g. $5, to doing a particular thing every day/week/whatever, and if you miss your target, they automatically charge your credit card. I’ve fou…

It’s basically a modern day swear jar … Except your money gets thrown into the void. To each their own, I suppose.

Oh great, a self-extortion scam ! More seriously, if you don’t have WK lifetime, this is alreeady what happen.

Not that there has been any positive response to this, but have you considered working for Beeminder, cause the title has that click-bait advertisement vibe going on, and obviously brought in 35 comments, and likely many more views.

RIGHT?! (And everyone, I know I’m responding to an 8 day old post, but seriously… She’s got a huge point.) I think you and I feel exactly the same. When I first read the OP, I was thinking that Beeminder rewarded you and paid out if you met your goals. However it’s the opposite! The second I real…
