Why I have This Website

I have been frustrated by lack of resources targeting college students that address financial literacy and wealth building. I know of no books and there are very few websites or blogs that are targeting this demographic. Probably because there isn't much money in it… college students don't buy a lot of literature that they don't have to because they're living on such a shoestring budget. Many authors don't target this audience because they can't sucker them into referral programs (prepaid legal and other insurance, the travel agent thing Shemin talks about, etc.).

I intend to use this website to compile what I know about making money—things that I have learned from dozens of other websites and books. I will add my slant and target this information for people like me—young students (especially those who have already started families).

As the years pass I will seek discussion about the various topics posted on my site and see what other people thing about these ideas and principles. I will then revise what I have written and compile my information into a more reader-friendly format—probably an e-book to start. If there is enough interest I will pursue trying to publish a book on financial literacy for students.

I hope that a book of this kind will benefit many many people. If it does I have no intention of writing more books. I am going to really try to include the necessary elements of wealth building in a single volume. At best there will be various editions of that book released because new information changes the way one might invest. Links will become outdated and new ideas will emerge. I don't think these changes merit additional books but certainly do make revisions necessary.
