$how me the money...!!! $$$ Ye$$$ $ir! $$$$$$$$
Money does not bring happiness, though - raising a fortune won't equate bliss, EVER!
No, folks, cash does not bring joie de vivre... But it does make everything more comfortable!
However, you must know this:
Money isn't real; it's man's invention!
Pain is real - pain and other 4-letter words...

Yeah! That is the smart way to do it - don't feed those sap-suckers the exhorbitant fees they want to charge!
That is the tip of the iceberg as far as credit and debit cards go, mayhaps... if the interpretations of the Good Book are correct about that...
And more on that... soon!

We don't need credit cards - we need PIXELS...

Cash pours in for student with $1 million Web idea
Dec 29, 1:05 PM (ET)
By Peter Graff
LONDON (Reuters) - If you have an envious streak, you probably shouldn't read this.
Because chances are, Alex Tew, a 21-year-old student from a small town in England, is cleverer than you. And he is proving it by earning a cool million dollars in four months on the Internet.
Selling porn? Dealing prescription drugs? Nope. All he sells are pixels, the tiny dots on the screen that appear when you call up his home page.
He had the brainstorm for his million dollar home page, called, logically enough, www.milliondollarhomepage.com, while lying in bed thinking out how he would pay for university.
The idea: turn his home page into a billboard made up of a million dots, and sell them for a dollar a dot to anyone who wants to put up their logo. A 10 by 10 dot square, roughly the size of a letter of type, costs $100.
He sold a few to his brothers and some friends, and when he had made $1,000, he issued a press release.
That was picked up by the news media, spread around the Internet, and soon advertisers for everything from dating sites to casinos to real estate agents to The Times of London were putting up real cash for pixels, with links to their own sites.
So far they have bought up 911,800 pixels. Tew's home page now looks like an online Times Square, festooned with a multi-colored confetti of ads.
"All the money's kind of sitting in a bank account," Tew told Reuters from his home in Wiltshire, southwest England. "I've treated myself to a car. I've only just passed my driving test so I've bought myself a little black mini."
The site features testimonials from advertisers, some of whom bought spots as a lark, only to discover that they were receiving actual valuable Web hits for a fraction of the cost of traditional Internet advertising.
Meanwhile Tew has had to juggle running the site with his first term at university, where he is studying business.
"It's been quite a difficulty trying to balance going to lectures and doing the site," he said.
But he may not have to study for long. Job offers have been coming in from Internet companies impressed by a young man who managed to figure out an original way to make money online.
"I didn't expect it to happen like that," Tew said. "To have the job offers and approaches from investors -- the whole thing is kind of surreal. I'm still in a state of disbelief."

Darn it - for YEARS, I thought that it would be the easiest thing to get a million bucks if you found a way to sell something to a million people for ONLY A DOLLAR APIECE (obviously!)...
The net is the place where we can do this (indubitably!)...
The question was always WHAT TO SELL! (Ah... annoyingly!)
Seeking the answer to that dilemma, this kid went to the logical place with it - SELLING ADVERTISEMENT!
Yeah... what else, eh?
Nowadays - EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING can be a billboard!
*lol*
