ATTENTION: if you have not read Brian's stuff yet he is quite an authority when it comes to making money online. Check out his new site Site Flip University (http://www.siteflipu.com). I have spent most of the last day reading every post. Great information (and I don't even think that it is officially launched yet). Thanks. Thanks for the comment Brian.

I never went to college. The reason? Robert Kiyosaki and his "Rich Dad Poor Dad" phenomenon... I hesitate to call it "just a book". I read it my senior year, and I realized if I was ever going to be TRULY wealthy, I'd have to increase my financial IQ, and that wasn't something that I was going to learn in a school. I'm happy to report that I'm on pace to make $130k this year flipping websites. Take that 4 year college grads! I could be still working on paying off student loans!!! And for those of you that disagree with Robert Kiyosaki's thoughts... how many of you knew how to balance a checkbook before you graduated high school? Anyone know about a general ledger? How about interest rates, apr, apy, and compounding? A simple course in high school could have saved our housing market! That’s right on the money. I never went to college. The reason?
