I Will Teach You To Be Rich

Description

At last, for a generation that's materially ambitious yet financially clueless comes I Will Teach You To Be Rich, Ramit Sethi's 6-week personal finance program for 20-to-35-year-olds. A completely practical approach delivered with a nonjudgmental style that makes readers want to do what Sethi says, it is based around the four pillars of personal finance— banking, saving, budgeting, and investing—and the wealth-building ideas of personal entrepreneurship.

Sethi covers how to save time by not wasting it managing money; the guns and cars myth of credit cards; how to negotiate like an Indian—the conversation begins with "no"; why "Budgeting Doesn't Have to Suck!"; how to get things rolling—for real—with only $20; what most people don't understand about taxes; how to get a CEO to take you out to lunch; how to avoid the Super Mario Brothers trap by making your savings work harder than you do; the difference between cheap and frugal; the hidden relationship between money and food. Not to mention his first key lesson: Getting started is more important than being the smartest person in the room. Integrated with his website, where readers can use interactive charts, follow up on the latest information, and join the community, it is a hip blueprint to building wealth and financial security.

Every month, 175,000 unique visitors come to Ramit Sethi's website, Iwillteachyoutoberich.com, to discover the path to financial freedom. They praise him thoughtfully ("Your site summarizes everything I want with my life—to be rich in finances, rich in experience, rich in family blessings," Dan Esparza) and effusively ("Dude, you rock. I love this site!" Richard Wu). The press has caught on, too: "Ramit Sethi is a rising star in the world of personal finance writing . . . one singularly attuned to the sensibilities of his generation. his style is part frat boy and part silicon Valley geek, with a little bit of San Francisco hipster thrown in" (San Francisco Chronicle). His writing is smart, his voice is full of attitude, and his ideas are uncommonly sound and refreshingly hype-free.

Summary: "Sharp, funny and wise"

This is an excellent book written with a fresh point of view. The author is aiming at a young audience, the 20 to 35 year age group, who need good information to create a financial foundation. Yet, this book is full of good advice for any age group. Ramit Sethi is funny and manages to speak in a style that is engaging and clear. He takes you step by step for many of the procedures he recommends. A great read!

Summary: "A Godsend"

This book is essential to someone in my age group. I am 24, and I feel that now I'm more responsible with my finances than those twice my age. I know the title was named in a way to get people's attention. The actual title for the content would be: How To Manage Your Money If You're Clueless. Either way, this book has been really helpful in my life because I am reading AND applying its teachings.

Thanks, Ramit!

Summary: "Poor Quality Control With Kindle Edition!"

This is a great personal finance book with wonderful advice. However, the quality control for the Kindle edition of this book is VERY POOR. . Sentences just stop in the mid

Entire paragraphs are split in half and resume two pages later.

dle of and re-appear later. It's annoying and very disappointing.

Summary: "Understanding USA Financial System VS. Yourself"

This book is pretty good. I don't like so much how it is written to the younger generation, but it actually encourages me to buy it for some of my younger friends and Family. Ramit does cover it all here. From basics of Getting out of debt, to Moving your finances to a Consumer Protected area (Credit cards) to then itemizing your monthly spending. I enjoyed seeing where my Money was going and learning how to redirect it. Now I am saving a minimum of $600 more a month! I am now also at a point to where I no longer need to watch my finances every other day. It's great having autopilots set for my lifestyle.

If you are in debt, if you want to save, or if you want to invest, then this book really is a must read. If you didn't like it, then pass it on to a younger sibling. I could have used this information 5-10 years ago.
