Bryan,
Thanks for taking the time to interview me about my new book, Investiphobia. You are very good, at times I felt like I was talking to Charlie Rose!
Your followers may be interested in a free excerpt which is on Reuter’s Prism Money blog. It is the chapter, Fear of NOT keeping up with the Joneses. Here’s a link:
