About half of Kevin's book is just him going on and on and on about how he is going to get you free money and how anybody can apply for benefits and grants and some tax information. Most of this is already known by the everyday tax payer who has a family. A small portion has to do with state treasury departments looking for people who have changed addresses and left a bank accounts or insurance refunds unclaimed or government bonds that may have been lost or you forgot you had. Not so much that "they" don't want you to know about it is as much as "they" don't know where you are living.
The dozens of government benefits for people who are well off and not a minority are available but is also means you would have to quit your current job and go do research in biotechnics or rewrite a mortgage or small business LOANS (not free)
There are thousands of government grants but they are really set up for cities and states, educators, disasters, farming, overseas research, the poor, elderly, and minorities. The home page for Grants.gov, Kevin's recommended site, clearly states that grants are not designed to help with individual personal finances.
It is not just a matter of appling for them, you also have to show proof that you are working on some sort of research or study. I other words "they" aren't going to hand you tens of thousands of dollars just because you asked for it.
Yes, I bought into his free government money speech because I felt I might have missed out on some big secret with all this bail out money. But I found I really don't qualify for anything and I would say a vast majority of working Americans would not qualify either.
Kevin does mention lots of websites to go to but doing a google search would have resulted in the same info and you would not have to buy his book. |
