Michael Ross's Challenge

Hi All,

I was reading a post written earlier in August by Gordon in regard to a challenge by Michael Ross.

Here was the challenge by Michael Ross:

“Imagine this... you are out of work, have no money coming in whatsoever
and cannot get any on credit cards or in any other way. You are too
proud to go on welfare, have no products to sell, no customer list,
refuse to get money selling your body for sex, refuse to get a job
working for someone else for a wage and you refuse to sell any of your
possessions. Knowing what you know now, who you know now and having the
resources you currently have at your disposal, what would you do to get
yourself back on your feet before you ran out of money?

You only have $1,000 left.”

Has anybody been able to solve this one?

If you have already answered, please just post the link. I would be most interested in seeing a solution.

Thanks,

Duane Adolph
