I had a decent pile of money stockpiled but I have a couple of family members with serious health problems that I'm helping out and I'm not in the mood to tap into that either.

As for the post you referenced, I was purposefully vague but you've misunderstood what I was saying. I do have a mainstream business (not just a site) that I am in the process of getting off the ground. It is going up no matter what, I don't need anything. It would however benefit from a few ($x,xxx to $xx,xxx not $1,000) for design, coding, initial promotion, etc. It's not necessary but it would make my life easier. Besides, I like working with others. The internet is a boring place when you're plugging along by yourself and I actually hate it at this point.

In short, I would happily share this business with an interested party but it's not required. Once they see it, they'll shit bricks.

Cheers

Wow. I smell some serious bullshit.

"Now look here son, I have this amazing business idea. Amazing I tell ya. It will make 6 figures a year at least. I wouldnt lie to you or anything, it's that great. You'll shit your pants. Now I have plenty of savings and cash on hand but I dont want to touch that. It's for other things, sick family members, my many other businesses you know. So what do you say, would you like to invest $10k and make at least $50k - $500k back the first year? What? Why wouldnt I just borrow the $10k from my savings so I can make the full 100% of this multi-million dollar idea and then pay back the savings if its a sure thing you ask? I like working with people son."
