Hi everyone thank you all for your follows and comments. Please excuse my fragmented sentences, paragraphs and my spelling. I was in high school in the 70's and if my mind doesn't fail me I always slept thru Writing / English class.

So even before the internet I have been a serial ( lets get rich next Tuesday) kind of person. I loved shiny offers, I mean hey it must be real It's in print or on the world wide web. I would take periodic breaks but then back at it. My latest was just about 5 months back. I bought something on the internet for $19.00 then to really get going with a mentor it would be $199.00 so out came my card. I started getting phone calls (oh yeah I gave them my phone number) and the first thing they wanted to know was what was my fico score and how much did I have on my credit cards. Bottom line, to truly I mean truly make money and get the best mentor it would really be around $7500.00 up to $12k to get rolling. My due diligence was around 2 hrs. for the $199.00 decision. So obviously I did not move forward hung up and was out the $19.00 plus the $199.00.

My point for anyone who reads this and shakes there head, laughs or God Bless relates. I spent 7 days on a free site with everything WA has to offer I had 30 minutes left to go premium. (WHAT WAS I THINKING) I mean we don't need to run the list on all you can get with WA, again for free.

So in my infinite wisdom I thought wait a minute here, this is a trick right, what is this Premium thing they are talking about I mean $19.00 for the 1st. month well let me see how that calculates out .63 cents per day. Then $47.00 per month which is around $1.53 per day. You can cancel anytime, you will have access to thousands & thousands of people all over the world and has we know so much more.

If your a newbie and you are on the free site and you can afford the per day pricing and your not sure you want to go Premium. (WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?) Please due yourself a favor and get out of your own way.

Folks the best thing I have ever done for myself and my business goals was to get involved with Wealthy Affiliates. (IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SCAM YOUR AT THE WRONG PLACE)
