I keep seeing this crazy guy wearing his suit with all the question marks on it and telling you to buy his book on finding free money and getting government grants so you can pay your bills. Is he for real? Has he really found some loopholes in the system that people can take advantage of, or is he just getting rich from book sales?

Seems like if the information he sells is really there, then we would be able to find it on the net. I have tried to get grants since my housefire to rebuild the burnt portion and funds for starting a home business and nothing it quite that easy to find out about. Wish it was true then some of my tax dollars could be used to get us back to square one. If he is for real I would hope someone would share it with us.

I met a guy who had read and studied Matthew's book, and he kept telling me about this grant and that grant and that I should apply, etc. It kind of put me off, it was weird. The book isn't all that much, so maybe it's worth looking into. If it's free money from the Government then it can't be all bad. God knows they waste enough of our tax dollars on ridiculous things.

I'm very cynical about this sort of thing. In my opinion I think he is probably making a lot of money off of book sales, and it is not like you can sue him if his information is faulty or you do not receive the grant. Just my opinion and I am a sef admitted cynic about this stuff.

I think the book is only $20 and it wouldn't surprise me that our Government has so many loopholes that it would be easy for people to take advantage of grant money. I may buy a copy and try applying for a few grants just for the sake of research.
