What Lengths Would You go to in Order to Become Debt-Free?
Here’s a sad story from the Arab Times:
Kuwait : A Kuwaiti woman recently visited the Al-Rai daily to tell about her financial difficulties and offered to sell the retina and cornea of one of her eyes and a kidney to help her pay her debts, reports Al-Rai daily. The woman, who is a widow, is a former employee of the Ministry of Health and is a mother of three children. It has been reported the woman owes KD 19,000 to a bank and KD 5,000 to a company.
It’s incredible that the woman is in such a desperate state as to want to give up body parts. It’s the first time I’ve heard of something of its kind in Kuwait. One of my first thoughts was why the woman wasn’t employed at the Ministry of Health anymore. Is she retired? Couldn’t she find another job?
I hope she finds a way to become debt-free without having to resort to such extreme measures.

wtf!! that’s pretty stupid and I will not fall for this! who told her to get herself in such debt! OMG!!! she only did that because she knows no one will allow it hence, get some rich person paying it off for her.. weirrrrrrrrrd!
I hate saying this but I’m really not that sympathetic as it seems more of a ploy to gain sympathy than an actual money-making idea. Let’s go to a newspaper and tell them I’m willing to sell my body parts for money. I’m horribly mean, I know.
Welcome to the blohosphere and thank you for linking to my blog - keep up the good work and lots of luck!
Ps - the theme of woman and finances in Kuwait holds a lot of potential.
