I am just a regular reader. The book takes you on a 6 week journey where you learn everything you need to know about money matters. The book is not preachy; infact it is motivational. Ramit emphasizes on the big-ticket items rather than small cheap way of saving. The first week is about credit cards. Ramit explains in very simple langauge about what kind of credit cards people should own. The gist of this is that everyone should have No annual fee card with lowest possible APR. He also provides script for people to negotaite their APR down with the credit card companies. Ramit tries to bring home the point that the first step towards financial independence is getting debt free. He provides simple steps as to how people can go about it without being extremely cheap.

At my 'ripe old age' of 39, I have already implemented most (if not all) of the book's strategies. Nothing too extraordinary here; just the fact that, as was pointed out, Ramit is a non-finance guy teaching the ordinary Joe what steps to take to get out of Stupidville. How about Ramit come down to Earth and tell us about some of his early financial blunders?...he's just too perfect and makes his Mama proud :^P Love this blog and Ramit’s book, too, but I can’t help wishing I had had the idea first to reach out to the twenty-something know-nothings.

I even had to pay for my copy! But I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I like to think my opinion carries a lot of weight, since I'm smack dab in the middle of Ramit's target audience :) I didn’t write a sidebar in the book… I even had to pay for my copy!

Or maybe I was just trying to get you to speak up and comment. :-) Ramit must have torn out your pages before sending the book for review.
