Ramit’s 2007 Guide to Kicking Ass

Here’s what I’ve been hinting about for the last few days: my first ebook!
It’s called Ramit’s 2007 Guide to Kicking Ass. It includes 5 all-new essays I wrote, plus new essays by some other great personal-finance bloggers. I’m publishing this now because I couldn’t wait until 2007.
