I think young folks these days are a bit short sighted. They can't recognize the long term pay off of forgoing certain things today. Be a team player... be an apprentice, learn from the elders. That's the place to be... to be a disciple and make informed decisions that were shaped by those experiences.

I enjoy how your blog has progressed and become so much more than just a blog about what to do with your money (budget, invest, save). Those things are very important but so is finding enjoyment in your work and in what you do with your life and your time. You're dedicated to the concept of being a personal entrepreneur regardless of your current situation. This post shows that you can have an entrepreneurial mindset in even the largest corporations and possibly even government (the jury's still out on that one, jk). It hit home with me because I just graduated from college (less than a month ago woot!) and started work at a large corporation. And it reminded me that regardless of what I choose to do later on I need to have that imaginative mindset in all aspects of my life, especially my work where I will spend so much of my time. The word "entrepreneur" has become romanticized of late and the average person thinks that they are incapable of being an entrepreneur and that entrepreneurs have super magic powers. Some of them do, but that only represents the minority (I can't speak for Ramit here). In its most basic form I think that an entrepreneur should be defined as such: someone who gets things done. Period. Cheers, Captain Flint Very good post and podcast. I enjoy how your blog has progressed and become so much more than just a blog about what to do with your money (budget, invest, save).

I started corporate life as a bean counter. If it wasn't for making my own opps, I'd still be a bean counter. She has an opp to organize a meeting with some big wigs, bring you in, and let you sell. Fast track all the way. Hell yes.
