Well I wasn’t even planning on writing an article like this, but sitting here tonight just browsing TV stations and doing a bit of light reading, I suddenly became inspired. I just kept the channel on from the program I was watching, and now it’s an infomercial for “Winning in the Cash Flow Business”. They claim that you can “retire earlier than you EVER dreamed possible!” While I hope that this goes without saying, I still feel the need to comment on this - and other “business opportunities” - and how if it sounds too good to be true, it’s likely that it is too good to be true.

I did a bit of further digging on “Winning in the Cash Flow Business”; and when I say further digging, I mean I went to Google and typed in the title, then hit on the I’m Feeling Lucky button. I was taken to InfomercialScams.com where I read many comments about people dropping hundreds, even THOUSANDS of dollars on this. After reading the first handful of comments, I was too disgusted to read on.

Because this topic is painfully obvious to me, I am cutting it short. Before you invest in ANYTHING, do your research. If an offer sounds very good and probably too good to be true, then it probably is. Researching things before you spend money will save you hundreds or thousands, and many headaches as well. Lastly, don’t be too anxious to earn money that you become short-sighted of these factors. And if you’re going to drop any money on “Winning in the Cash Flow Business”, send me money instead and I’ll find a use for it. =)
