Right Below are Tools and Strategies to
Beat Hard Times in America!

If you've come to our site, it's because you've heard about our "coolest ideas."

They are: ideas that can actually make a difference to you financially, personally, educationally etc. at a period in American history when good jobs are tough to find, housing is unaffordable, healthcare costs are outrageous, investments seem too risky, big city living is downright dangerous, and schools are failing.

For example:

 -- You don’t even need to own a house or even live in an apartment to have a decent roof over your head--at a very low cost or possibly even FREE. It sounds impossible yet nearly 20 Cool Ideas have been compiled to help you find such housing, in cities and towns across America and around the world.

-- If you’re looking for a job, there are plenty to be found in your city on a FREE site on the internet; We’ll tell you which one and how to navigate it. If you don’t have a good resume, we’ll also tell you how to write one, send it out, and avoid making the mistakes most writers make over and over.  

-- Your bank will pay you only 1-2% (at most) these days for even a long term CD deposit, but here’s how to get more interest from them. Better yet, join a FDIC insured online bank that can offer up to 10% on a CD deposit with absolutely NO risk. (Brick and mortar big banks may be on the way out anyway…)

-- So you’d like to start a business and think there’s no way you can make a profit right away. Think again! The author has started over a half dozen IMMEDIATELY successful businesses on a shoestring, even during hard times, for only a few hundred dollars (each). And there are several online loan/funding sources -- even if the banks ain’t lending…

-- You have some money but are too afraid to invest it to MAKE more money. Have you thought about investing IN money?? Sounds like a riddle but it isn’t. Money (real, that is) is possibly the best investment right now along with various other commodities. Here’s how to get some.

-- With gasoline prices topping $4 a gallon on their way to $5, you’d really like to buy that electric car -- but who can afford it? Here’s how to squeeze up to 25% more mileage from any older vehicle -- without a bogus add-on device. You wouldn’t necessarily get that much savings even from a hybrid…

-- You’d love to install a solar electric system on your house to save money/energy if it weren’t for the steep entry price -- $10,000-$25,000 (or more). Here’s how to get started in solar for as little as $500 -- following DIY instructions. If the author (who’d never even replaced a light switch) can do it, you can, too.

But William L. Seavey (see bio below) is a modern day Renaissance Man who, in the course of 40 years, has investigated many viable options for living outside the conventional (read: expensive/overpriced) norms--and his advice and research, compiled in many books, websites and a soon-to-be-online blog, can help you live better despite the hard times many are facing in America today.  

William L. Seavey is an inventor, social visionary, entrepreneur, teacher/lecturer, and modern day Renaissance Man. He has made good things happen for himself, his family members and numerous others throughout his 64 plus years.

He is the author or editor of nearly ten "self-help" books (most recently Crisis Investing and Entrepreneuring), and hundreds of magazine and newspaper articles on a variety of useful subjects.
