A couple years ago, I lost several hundred dollars to experimentation Google Adwords, without making a dime. I suspect that this is completely normal. It is easy to lose much more, I imagine. I was discouraged, leaving Adwords alone since then, despite the fact that I know a couple people personally who make multiple . . . → Read More: Getting Started Making Money with Adwords  2 comments - (Comments are closed)  Affiliate Marketing, Interesting Finds, Reviews  Advertising, Adwords, Business, Google Adwords, Marketing I’m in the middle of reading Robert Frank’s fascinating new book "Richistan: A Journey Through the American Wealth Boom and the Lives of the New Rich."

This weekend I finished reading "The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich" by Timothy Ferriss. I just got it last week, and I read it straight through, putting aside all other books for a couple days. I’m not going to give it an in-depth review.

I still think he is a good kick in the butt for people who repeat that garbage myth “Everyone in America has credit card debt. It is normal and OK.”However, I’ve really outgrown him. I think he is wrong in his insistence that debt can never be used as a tool. . . . → Read More: Leaving Dave Ramsey Behind After a month hiatus, I am back to taking shots of my “virtual coffeetable”, where I’ve stacked all the books I am actively reading.This summer, I took a break from my non-fiction diet, since a book I’d long been anticipating finally came out. I knew the first one was a cliffhanger, so I waited (years) until the second half of the story came out.
