I forgot to add, I found out about your book at Money Saving Guide. That’s also a great website that covers many, many topics and suggestions on how to save money on everything from food to books.

I couldn’t believe some of the comments here! Racism, weightism? Lighten up, girl and don’t look for evil intentions where none exist.

Ramit, I loved reading the introduction. I have stayed away from financial advice books because they are so dry, humorless and frankly, over my head a lot of times. You may be aiming at the younger set, but you reached me and I am 62 years old!! I have preordered two copies of your book – one for each of my grown kids, who are in your target age, but I intend to read it also. Thanks for finally putting something out there that is not only enjoyable to read, but helpful to the rest of us poor slobs who don’t understand all of the financial jargon! (Tongue in cheek on that last bit, please don’t accuse me of slobism).

@Ramit,

Nice Cover. Love the “bare foot” Desi touch

Like someone else asked, can you let us know how you determine that the 300 limit has reached ? Or let me guess, you will keep that a “secret” so more and more people sign up ?!

Hey Ramit,
I have been following your blog for couple of months now and I really enjoyed reading your posts. There has been lot of takeaways from your blog which has helped me track my expenditure and save more.
I am eagerly waiting to read your book. I am from Bangalore, India and would like to know when will it be available here. I tried to pre-order the book, but the cost of shipping is more than cost of the book!!

er…ahem… if that particular poster is still reading – not that it’s good to encourage this type of exchange… (and thanks for those who took up for me)

I was just being funny, but funny to one is not funny to all, granted. I laugh at myself all the time for any number of irreverent reasons and find that the deadly-seriousness of societal-correctness at every moment is stifling. I trusted Ramit knew this. I assume he had no chip on his shoulder. He seems like a very cool guy.

And I don’t give a rip about feet… I have on men’s socks and men’s slippers right now because it is BLEEPing cold but otherwise I’d be barefoot and maybe even clipping my toenails, maybe even on the cover of my own book if I ever write one, and with some sort of accent or other, as well (hmm… I wonder if that poster presumed I don’t have one of my own… Doesn’t everyone have some degree of one variety or another? )

So when will the dern book get here? I need me some bathtub reading. Oh yeah – nothing wrong with any color shirt, but how about NO shirt next book? (Not me… I meant Ramit.)

Preordered, even though its Sunday. Even if I don’t make the cut, I am already glad I ordered I have already shown this blog to several of my friends, maybe I can get them to read the book too.

It’s Sunday, been looking for my chapter in the mail…

I hope overweight people look at the comparison as realistic and not actually pretend like its ideal to be overweight. Size-ism, thats a freakin word nowadays? Please…

Gotta say, what a great marketing approach, I love the fact that I can order a book and start reading (practically) right away. Also like the chapter per week segmentation, that will more than likely get me to read the entire book rather than read half and put it away forever.
