    Thanks for the mention.

    To be honest, it took me several months to get on board with P2P lending. In the end, I used their free sign up money to place my first loans. Once I realized how it works, I decided to run with it for awhile.

    The loans aren’t guaranteed, but the risk reward ratio can be good if you do it right. I also only invest a minuscule portion of my overall portfolio – basically if I lost it all, it wouldn’t hurt me financially.

    But I do think the idea is intriguing.
