You don’t know about these programs because these organizations don’t have money to advertise. You won’t find them from a Google search unless you carefully comb through thousands of research results.

The upside-down world of Google makes sure you see all the websites that want money to solve your problem and the ones that will solve the problem for free are buried within the Google haystack.

But Don’t Worry!!! I’ve done all the work for you. For over 40 years, I’ve been doing free money research and sold over four million books that uncover little-known free money gems that the experts never tell you about.

I show you sources you never ever dreamed of. You get hand-holding instructions as well as websites and contact info so you can start solving your car problems today.

I bet you did not know:

— There are over 120 non-profit organizations in the US that give out cars for free or little cost.

— Cars loans are available at ridiculously low interest rates even when you have very bad credit.

— Organizations will repair your car for free.

— Access a government database to see if your car is one of the 12 million cars that can get fixed for free each year.

— State governments give $8,000 to help buy a vehicle. 

— Local governments help pay for auto insurance.

— How to get $500 for emergency cash to pay for auto repair.

— Mechanics will come to your home and fix your car at a 40% discount.

Matthew Lesko Bio

 

Armed with a MBA in computerized management information systems paid for thanks to government money because of service as a Naval Officer in the Vietnam War, Lesko became a professor in computer science and started a career as an entrepreneur.  

 

His first two businesses failed. His first successful company was a consulting business that helped Fortune 500 companies tap government programs to finance mergers and acquisitions and enter new markets. In a few short years, this business grew from just himself with a phone and a desk in a one-room apartment to 30 researchers in downtown Washington, DC.

 

He then left the corporate world to educate the average consumer in how they also can use the same government programs to help their lives. He has written over 100 books on the subject of free money. Two became New York Times bestsellers.  

 

He was also a columnist for the New York Times syndicate and Good Housekeeping magazine. He has appeared on hundreds of radio and TV shows and made regular appearances on Letterman, Larry King, Leno, CNN, Fox, The Today Show, Good Morning America, and Oprah. His crazy TV infomercials were among the most popular in the industry and he is often recognized on the street because Lesko always wears question mark suits.

 

Now he is involved with what is happening on the Internet with crowdfunding, peer-to-peer, and the shared economy. This has the potential to be an even bigger opportunity for the average consumer than government programs. This is an industry that began just a few years ago, and it’s already handing out more than $34 billion a year in crowdfunding money. It has great advantages over government money because it requires no complicated forms, no credit checks, costs nothing to try, you don’t have to repay the money, and you can use it for any kind of business idea, project, community activity, or personal finance problem. Crowdfunding now gives more money to artists than the U.S. Government’s National Endowment of The Arts. President Obama even used crowdfunding when he couldn’t  get money he needed fast enough from the U.S. Congress.  See https://youtu.be/_lV22k7NjOU

 

I have been studying this industry for the last few years and have amassed a collection of over 1,000 interviews of people who have used crowdfunding money or began crowdfunding websites.
