Some new ideas to make money and save money

You can read about what I've come up with on Main Street today. Let me know if any of the ideas work out for you.

And don't even try to sell me your art.

Book Giveaway

The Bank Bonuses blog not only says "A Million Bucks by 30" is a must-read, but that he is also giving away my book for free. So far only 8 people have signed up to win. Those are some good chances! All you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post and he will randomly select a winner. You have less than 40 hours to enter. Good luck!

Extreme Home Makeover goes bust

I haven't been this angered by a news story in a long time. A family on Extreme Makeover got a free pimped-out mansion with no mortgage, plus a $100,000 stiped to cover carrying costs such as utilies, insurance, etc.

The couple is now in foreclosure. After the makeover, they took out a $450,000 home equity loan and invested it in a speculative construction company that apparently didn't do too well.

It's stories like this that make me believe that no matter what helping hand you give people, it's just easier for some people to be broke. (The $100,000 homeless man story comes to mind too. And this $54 million dollar lottery winner.)

And they all had access to financial advisors.

I'm speechless.
