I've got to buy that CD from the band ABC
Genetic Mishap has discovered a blog entitled Millionaire Mom. The header:

Is it possible for a stay at home in rural (no stop light town) Virginia earn a million dollars by her 40th birthday (5/27/06)? Its not just the money...although that will be nice...but the challenge, the quest, the fulfillment of something seemingly impossible.

Today you reach the impossible dream via websites and e-mail programs. Back when I was a kid, you reached the impossible dream during matchbooks. I still remember how, in those culinarically incorrect times, the lure to sign up for the get rich quick scheme was the phrase "Eat steak every night!" I always imagined some refrigerator repairman, coming home to his long-suffering wife and saying, "We're rich! Let's eat steak again!"

I just tried a search on the words "eat steak every night," and saw a link to the President Casino. I visited there during my recent trip to St Louis, but ended up leaving - they effectively wanted to charge you admission to enter the casino.

I stand corrected - "eat steak every night" is STILL a lure to a get rich quick program. Someone should tell Millionaire Mom about Stacy Johnson, who peddles a book called Life or Debt:

Take the Atkins diet, which I've actually tried. You read the book, and good old Doc Atkins keeps repeating how you're going to be able to eat until you puke and still lose weight. And not just eat, either. You're going to be able to eat the stuff you love. Lobster, butter, steaks, eggs, cream, cheese, yada yada yada. Of course, there is one "tiny" catch. You can't eat bread, potatoes, fruit or anything with sugar in it....Who needs bread when I can eat steak every night?...But then comes the time when the book ends and the actual diet begins. About two weeks later you're ready to murder a bird for the breadcrumb in its beak....

But when you go on a money diet, you can substitute a new $1,000 leather chair with a used $100 leather chair. Your fanny is still on leather, and the substitute is virtually identical to the original, at least after a few weeks. So, you tell me: would you really suffer if you sat on used leather instead of new? Would it really make your life that different? I don't think so. What you've just done is to free up $900 for debt reduction without negatively impacting your lifestyle one iota.

In retrospect, Stacy Johnson isn't a get rich quick jerk.
