Hello Jeff,
How much would you spend to keep someone from getting $1 that you felt they
didn't earn?
As much as possible.

$1,000,000 per $1?
Once upon a time, that is what Ebeneezer Scrooge believed.
How much is that $1 worth to you?
Once upon a time, that $1 was worth everything to Ebeneezer Scrooge.
But then he had some visitors came knocking on his door.
Who showed him The Answer to all his problems.
So what did Ebeneezer Scrooge do?
He gave it all away, to a small child who needed it most.
Who got the greater reward?
Point is, if you want to make money you have to spend money.
Preferably somebody else's money. That is the way the world works.
Always has, always will.
