    Myth busting: where the money is NOT
    There are NOT known sources of funding for individuals to pay off old bills and debts, money "for no particular reason," or free money to start businesses when a person has no capital, bad credit, and the business will not have many employees.

    Business Funding
    Most businesses get assistance because they have suffered a disaster, they are developing a cutting edge technology, or they are coming to a state or locality with a load of money and/or jobs already. Most assistance comes in the form of loans or professional consultation, not grants.

    Health Care
    The bad news is that there's no funding for old medical bills; the good news is that there are up-front assistance programs.
