It's quite a bold concept in lending. Searching through Google, there's not much on it but there was an article about it from Businessweek. Hopefully it is legitimate and thrive. For now, I'll keep an eye on it for several months to see how well it goes.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5315133679490845793-7795539671435990563?l=steveoneil.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve O'Neilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04092804604619444684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5315133679490845793.post-65139200261699404452008-07-10T01:07:00.000-07:002008-07-11T01:25:45.634-07:00I just finished reading <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FMillionaire-Next-Door-Thomas-Stanley%2Fdp%2F0671015206%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks%26qid%3D1215764257%26sr%3D1-1&amp;tag=sonaapi-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">Millionaire Next Door</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=sonaapi-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, it's a great book, must reading for everyone and anyone serious about their financial future. <div><br /></div><div>It's a solid foundation on the habits necessary for wealth accumulation. </div><div><br /></div><div><div>The information presented in this book focuses on the habits that create millionaires from ordinary people who often have ordinary incomes.
