Nothing In Life Is Free Or Easy

If you're like me, you bump around the internet like a vagabond site to site. Along the way, every once in a while, you hit those "work from home and become stinking rich while a servant clips your toenails" schemes. Not all are scams but many are. While most pay some pennies, the vast majority pay with bananas - if you're lucky.


I'm not an expert but one rule of thumb or dictum people who know this stuff alway say is that if these sites ask for money up front best to close your browser down. As a former investor, I can tell you by experience the secret to life is to either have a bright idea and see it through with hard work or simply work and save your money. Don't let your expenses out pace what you earn. Simple really.

While this is sound advice, personally (being the history buff I am) I prefer to dip into the past for sprinkles of wisdom:


"The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price,
peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of
soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life."

Theodore Roosevelt
