Is there any ebook version of your new book? I would order that format rather than paper :P

You will be proud at how I financed the purchase of the book. Recently I cleaned out all the loose change in my house/car/wherever else (pennies on the street even ;-) took it to Albertson's and had Coinstar count the change and spit out a free Amazon.com gift card with no charge. I used that gift card to purchase your book. So how about that...I purchased a personal finance book, using loose change that most likely would have gone squandered on something frivolous. I'm off to a good start already! Hey Ramit, I just bought your book after reading your wonderfully written and entertaining intro. You will be proud at how I financed the purchase of the book.

I was in my local Barnes and Nobles like ekrabs and also saw three copies of your book. I was looking for a web-programming book so I didn't buy it, but it looked great. I'm rather new to your blog so I can't compare it to the blog itself, but i was at least entertained by what i read. Fantastic job. What i really liked is that it didn't feel/read like a kitchen-sink approach with thousands of sound-bites. Instead, it felt/read like a book from someone who has a coherent message, not just a lot of information. Fantastic job twice! Jumping the gun . . .

It's Smart Sally and Dumb Dan example from page 5. Basically I cannot get the same number neither for Sally nor for Dan. Instead of $348,856 and $271,879 I get $201398 and $150,029 respectively. Could you provide more details on the calculations? Thanks Hi,

Sun, 15 Mar 2009 20:37:27 +0000 http://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/blog/?p=1645#comment-92076 Hi Ramit, I was also one of the lucky ones who received the book a week or two ago. I have already finished it and started implementing a number of your recommendations. Over the last 9 months I have personally reduced my debt by over 50k (It is possible if you really want it), I am now only one credit card and one loan away from being debt free (3 more months). Luckily, I was guided into establishing a 401k in my early 20's, earning the full employee match. However, I never invested in IRA's or any other funds. I am looking forward to getting started. I will be recommending your book to many of my friends who are interested in taking control of their finances and future retirement goals. Hi Ramit,
