Online/Offline Ways to make money and more

Hope everyone had a safe and fulfilling Christmas and will have an equally happy new year! I've noticed something interesting, a trend if you will. I call it the "age of the gurus". When the internet was still in it's infancy, and in someways still is, there were a lot of programmers, marketers, etc... all willing to take advantage of every little loophole they could find and exploit it to there financial advantage, some landed in the legal grey areas. Consequently the laws eventually adapted and changed as they tightened the screws on the hackers, schemers, and others who preyed on the users. All of that aside, I'm seeing less talk about the so called "gurus" and more about bonafide legal ways to make money. I'm not saying that these programs aren't still out there, because some are legit, a large part of them are repeats of the last 10 years, with a new face and same old crap.

More people are on the roads and this depletes the oil reserves/stockpiles and drives up the prices. 2. Overseas imports on oil are cutting back production to drive up the prices. 3. The cold weather has stopped several refineries from being able to produce especially when people can't get to work. 4. Accidents in the gulf of mexico on a drilling rigs have slowed down production. 5. Wild speculation can drive up the demand/price of oil/gas. 6. Oil stock futures are absorbing all of this and trending the price upwards for 2018. Of course this is all just my opinion along with some the information gleaned from various websites and analysis. You be the judge and do some research yourself and see if I am right or wrong. In the area of money wise I would say that if you don't NEED to drive then stay at home or

It's a new year that much like new years past it's full of wonder and possibilities. Short and simple...I need help...it's the dreaded h-word. I was kind of hoping that if anyone still reads this blog or follows it that maybe you could take a few minutes out of your busy schedule and help me with a few things. 1.
