I'm not going to look at your links—I just want to know how you define "self-sufficiency" or how you expect people to get rich without someone else's money or labor. Any job you have, you're getting paid. That's the company's money, and before it, the customers' or investors' money.

I'm looking to get a men's bicycle that I could ride on the Silver Comet Trail since it's a convenient place for me to get to, although I perhaps wouldn't mind a bike that could do some light mountain biking, too. I've looked at Target and I see mountain bikes and hybrid bikes—am I looking for a hybrid instead of mountain? I could be wrong, but I'd think a hybrid would be faster on a paved trail like the Silver Comet, while a mountain bike would have the climbing power if that's what I wanted to do. In addition to needing to know what kind of bike I need, I'd also like some suggestions on
