Out of this world

For those of us that need a little more excitement there is Second Life – a virtual world where you can build a business, party or even have an affair although there are virtual detective businesses on hand if you suspect an amour is going astray.

Second Life has a currency. The Linden dollar fluctuates at around $300. And with Linden dollars members can purchase land, buildings and even islands. The current GDP is over $60 million.

Some members even make a living in this alternative universe selling services and products. So, it might be worth a go if things are tight in the real world.
