Money is great. We all want money. While the Beatles may say that it can’t buy them love, it’s not like they ever turned any money down. Even if it doesn’t buy love, it still affords a much less-stressful and eventful lifestyle… and that’s KIND OF like love, isn’t it? But while the recession in the country lingers on, jobs are still not the easiest things to come upon, meaning that getting extra money in your pocket by actually earning more money is unlikely.

Your rewards await

But there’s another way to get rich.
