You’re exactly right – the idea would not have worked without my wife and her help 🙂 The more I study and focus on making money, the better I am at identifying opportunities all around me. Even though I thought the book was just OK, Rich Dad Poor Dad helps to teach you how to get better at doing this. If you haven’t read it, I’d suggest you check it out. Thanks for stopping by!

I am trying to barter more, or think creatively about gaining things I want without doling out cash.

The shop pays $17 and usually take an hour total of my time (the stores are on my way home from work). I signed up for one, and then later realized that it was a revealed audit, not the usual “go in and ask questions” thing. It took me over 90 minutes to read and understand the questions and then pass a quiz. My time in the store was over an hour, and then it took me another hour to fill out the questionnaire form. So, about 3.5 hours for $17…NOT worth it!
