Feel free to disagree, but some people have told me they found this web site to be a useful handout... perhaps worth at least a few alms.

Am I personally going to fund your education though? Heck no. There's quite a list of people ahead of you in line. But I do what I can to help you help yourself, including encouraging you to think more resourcefully and creatively instead of succumbing to a socially conditioned mindset that sees a lack of money as a serious obstacle.

College student Alex Tew funded his education by launching a very simple web site. It earned him a million dollars in a matter of months. Another 17-year old girl built a million-dollar online business in 3 years. Were they just geniuses? No. Lucky? Perhaps. But what differentiates them most is that they put their attention on opportunities instead of obstacles.
