Hi shipshirt
While I haven't personoally tried these books, I know someone who has. Their review was that it was all stuff you can find on the internet with a good search engine. So, that may save you a few bucks if you're willing to do some exploring.
Another avenue to explore would be contacting banks and stuff. When I was getting set to do my medical training, one of the banks had a fund set up by someone specificly for those looking at the medical field. I was told that many banks have private funds like that to be used for specific purposes. Depending on what you're looking to do, you may get somewhere.
