Well I work for a government agency so I am always insured to the teeth when I leave the country, never the less it's time to change my ride, or get my ride changed. How much would my Jamaican friend have to pay to get a red plate? Maybe I could sponsor him.
Everybody's idea of a "friend" is different so I am only speaking from many years of PERSONAL experience. I learned a long time ago that no matter how much I wanted to change things for my friends in Jamaica,Originally Posted by Irine
no amount of money ever seemed to be enough. Consider every amount of money you give to be just that; a gift because experience says you will rarely get it back or get anything equal of value for it and almost surely no brawta as well.
I would look at this example in this way. With Red Plate and Insurance and other costs you will spend at least $500 US or probably more. (I don't have the exact amount but others may) Or.... I could just find another Red Plate driver and pay the regular fare and get something of value for my money. Then I would take my "friend" out for a meal or a drink or something similar and consider that my gift to him as a friend. I don't want to take the chance of losing friends over money.
Donating to a charity will do more good than "sponsoring" a friend in the long run.
Just my opinion.
