Alex, how did you come up with the idea for the Million Dollar Home Page?

Well, I was trying to think of a way to make some money before I started university, as I was about to take on a huge debt and I was already overdrawn. Swift action was necessary! Up late with my notepad, I asked my subconscious mind the question, “How can I make a million dollars?” Twenty minutes later, I had the answer.

What have you learnt from this venture?

The important thing is that anything is possible —we are only limited by our imagination. I always had this belief that a good idea can be successful on its own. I think I've learnt that if we think deeper there are magical solutions hiding away for us to find.

How do you plan to spend the million dollars?

I bought a little car... a black and yellow Mini, and it's the biggest purchase I have made. Most of the money is in my bank account; I want to invest the rest of it in the new ideas that I've got.

What is your worst financial habit?

Making “impulse8 purchases” that I later regret, e.g., clothes and CDs I really don't like, etc.

What's your personal philosophy around money?

Respect it, save it, invest it, spend a little. And be generous! Money is not everything, but it's an essential part of the way we live. Having some removes a certain amount of stress, but I think unless we are careful, it can create a new type of stress.
Will you go back to college?

I still want to go to university. Aside from gaining knowledge about business, there are other reasons to be in university—exploring your interests, meeting new people, and being in a creative environment.

What contributions to society do you want to make?

To encourage and inspire people to think of creative solutions to problems, whatever they are.

Ah, has your story been optioned by Hollywood yet?

Not that I know of! It's not worthy of a movie!

(Laughing....)
