Conned, don;t worry about raising too much money for the education campaign to protect others, I'll give you the entire program for free. It's a two step, 30 second program.
"Don't buy what you can't afford."
"Always look for investments, never let them look for you."
You can even perform a scientific test with a small sum of money, let's say $200. Invest $100 in something you find (an account or bond at the bank, a stock or index fund that you research and buy online) and invest the other $100 in something an a friend, aquaintance or telemarketer presents to you when you weren't looking for it. After five years, see which one has more value, it will be the one you found and not the one that found you. $200 and you will have learned more than I learned in college, try it.
That's in interesting way to look at it. I'm going to have to quote you on that from now on.
