Ramit – Thank you for your blog. I have already forwarded the link to many of my friends. The most important lesson for young people to learn is the power of compounding interest. I joke with my seven year old niece that every dollar she invests today would be $510.80 when she retires @ 65. She usually frowns and makes faces at me at that point. Hopefully, one day she’ll ‘get it’, but today, Webkinz are her investment.

Your point being made that getting into the program of investing is the most important lesson is so simple, yet so many still think “I’ll do it later when I have more time, money, assets, or whatever”. I wish someone had drilled the concept of compound interest into me when I was fresh out of college and making money.

Keep up the good work!

Hi there

I followed your Yahoo Finance article and am particularly impressed by the site. There is a dearth of any creative information for young people who face more debt than ever before through taking on debt for studies etc. I am 24 and a year ago quit my job, hauled all my savings into a dream of travel and now am making plans to pay off my debt but more importantly find a way to earn the same freedon in the future I have enjoyed for the past year. I am from New Zealand and think the need there is just as prevalent as it apparently is in the USA.

I was going to comment on your ´Indian Networkers´ article but will post separately. Congratulations on exciting some popular debate.

Josh

i think that their should be a devoted to teaching college students that they do have money to pay themselves first. They just have to see the light and realize where they can save on certain areas of their spending habits!

I have Ramit on my iGoogle. “Everyday I would think, “Who the hell does this guy think he is?”
After spending some time reading Remit’s blogs I would say he is a guy you could have fun drinking coffee with for a morning and walk away smarter for the whole experience.

Our brain fills with knowledge when our eyes are open and mouth shut.

evie beat me to it, but I concur.

Before you judge Ramit based on the Yahoo Finance article, take a look at some of his previous postings. Sure, his advice sometimes fits the nice little “invest for the long haul” package that is spewed around personal finance blogs like yesterday’s lunch after a fast rollercoaster ride, but there’s one major difference:

Ramit’s advice is not only easy to read and understand, it’s also enjoyable to read, too.

Eric – Spend a bit of time on this blog reading some of the articles, and you may just be surprised at how many fresh insights there are. A personal favorite is “Barriers are your enemy.”
