  <default-description>At last, for a generation that's materially ambitious yet financially clueless comes &lt;i&gt;I Will Teach You To Be Rich&lt;/i&gt;, 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&#8212; banking, saving, budgeting, and investing&#8212;and the wealth-building ideas of personal entrepreneurship.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 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&#8212;the conversation &lt;i&gt;begins&lt;/i&gt; with &quot;no&quot;; why &quot;Budgeting Doesn't Have to Suck!&quot;; how to get things rolling&#8212;for real&#8212;with only $20; what most people don't understand about taxes; how to get a CEO to take &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; 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.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 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 (&quot;Your site summarizes everything I want with my life&#8212;to be rich in finances, rich in experience, rich in family blessings,&quot; &lt;i&gt;Dan Esparza&lt;/i&gt;) and effusively (&quot;Dude, you rock. I love this site!&quot; &lt;i&gt;Richard Wu&lt;/i&gt;). The press has caught on, too: &quot;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&quot; (&lt;i&gt;San Francisco Chronicle&lt;/i&gt;). His writing is smart, his voice is full of attitude, and his ideas are uncommonly sound and refreshingly hype-free.</default-description>

I've been reading his blog for over 2 years, and so it isn't surprising that I would thoroughly endorse his book.<br/><br/>Ramit has a very straight forward approach to personal finance.

Since it's a book on being rich, I figured she *must* be rich in order to waste that much money on shoes.  But no, her annual income is about half mine.

    <body><![CDATA[Amazing personal finance book.  In terms of practical advice, he's much much better than Suze Orman.  I am now taking steps to set up a Roth IRA because of him.  It's all the stuff you should learn somewhere but otherwise wouldn't figure out until decades down the line.  I also like that he's pro-sp...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75994080">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I am a huge fan of this book. I thought it gave practical, real, do-able advice for getting started with really managing your finances. It's definitely targeted to an audience in their tweties, but provides advice that I'm sure many people need at other ages as well. I was looking for a comprehensiv...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51363033">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The editor who assigned this book to me told me that I was right in the 'target demographic,' which naturally made me suspicious. But honestly? There's a lot of really good information in this book. I admit I found the tone a smidge smarmy at times, but I really did learn a lot of good tips &amp; tricks...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48887920">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Not everyone is interested in finance books, and there is probably no one book that can straighten out everyone's financial issues, but if you are looking for a straightforward, proactive place to start, this book is a great selection.  I read Ramit Sethi's blog at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://iwillteachyoutoberich.com">iwillteachyoutoberich.com</a> and have...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71271392">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A fun, no-bullshit guide for students and twenty-somethings who have never had anyone sit them down and tell them straight up about bank accounts, controlling their spending, investing, and so on. I think the strength of this book is that Ramit understands our/my generation, and the kinds of things ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68500072">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I got hooked on Ramit's irreverent style years ago through his blog of the same title. While the info in this book is old news to me, it's a great guidebook on personal finance for those in early adulthood (20-30 years old). Covers the basics of getting started, saving, debt, automatic investing, an...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71152015">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is not as hokey as the title sounds. It's casual in tone but packed with good advice and information. He goes over a lot of important and helpful ideas about banking, saving, budgeting, credit, investing and making it all work together for the long-term.
