The Affluent Student – Paul website. Check him out and sign up for his email subscription. He pumps out excellent content!
Action Alert Download – the computer monitoring software I highly recommend. Both a free version to try it out and a premium version that is pimped out.
Net Nanny – the software Paul mentions. NN has been around for a very long time an thought I have not used it personally, I know it has produced great results for many.
