I think the point here is not a mere gift exchange, like secret Santa. I think that what Pitviper has in mind is to pool resources in order to allow people to buy things that they would not be able to afford otherwise.
This is actually a concept that is practiced in many cultures. For example, in some cultures, when a man reaches a certain age, everyone in the family gives him $1000, or whatever (In Saudi Arabia it's $100,000). This way, the man starts out with a very healthy bankroll and is already well on his way to financial security. Now, if your name is on the bottom of the list, yes it will be a bit of a wait. Could you simply save that money each month and produce a similar effect? Yes, but that's not the point. When we do secret Santa, we could all just go out and buy ourselves a gift, but that defeats the purpose of the whole thing. The purpose is to generate positive energy and spread it out to others. I commend you on what your trying to do PV. |

Sounds like an awesome Idea, but some body is going to have to be "In Charge" of making it work.

It's a nice gesture but you have to make sure the people involved are honest and reliable. I've been in sports pools where people join and don't hold up their end of the bargain and you're pretty much fucked because you don't know them personally and they are just some random dude on the net so if they decide to disappear, you can't really find them.
