I don't recommend forex for most people. Options are similar, although there is a range of risk: some options strategies are somewhat less risky than others. That said, I'm still not moving into options anytime soon. I know a friend who’s very smart, took the options and forex courses, studied, and still lost $5000 in one fell swoop.

The test drive information is to a message board that was started a long time ago. However, they add new deals to it as they find them; you have to check out the last few pages to see the 2009 deals. @ Sky: What a helpful intro to the Cash Crate program!

It was great fun but I have to warn you it is not something I can repeat each month. I was successful because I was new and used all the offers with greatest payout (for example, eToro offer had a $50 payout). I actually tried the products I signed up for (and didn't sign up for those I was not interested in) and kept a spreadsheet with information about each offer and when trial periods would end so I could cancel (unless I decided to keep the service!) In the end, I was very happy with the results, but now that I completed all the newbie offers, those left over plus the ones recently added have very small payouts for the effort involved. So I recommend CashCrate for a one time quick payout if you are organized and can keep track of all the rules (especially cancellation dates), as I know you are Madison. For ongoing extra income, it may be worthwhile to some people willing to put in the effort, but not for me. I didn't do any of the surveys (in the $1 payout range) because they are endless. You can also make money doing referrals in CashCrate but I did not try that. Lastly, I set up a separate email and used a separate credit card for all my Cash Crate dealings so I could keep track easily. I joined Cash Crate originally as part of an effort to start a personal blog on how to create additional income streams. I am not there yet but will publish my CashCrate experience once I am ready. I have been following your blog for a couple of months and I love it! You are a great inspiration. I used CashCrate in February for the first time and got a $134 check in March for my efforts.
