Has anyone here read Ramit Sethi's book? Thoughts? I'm thinking about picking up the Audible version.

By the way, thanks for this podcast, Patrick, I'm about to listen to both parts.

Highly recommended. It's a very quick read, and gave me multiple tips that more than paid for cost + time invested reading the book.

As a Canadian, much of the investment advice was irrelevant to me. But I switched to ING direct as a result, which simplified my banking (big time saver) and eliminated a lot of fees.

He also has very good scripts for dealing with customer service reps. Various other small tips have been useful, such as better tracking of recurring expenses.

Conservatively, I've probably saved at least $1,000 since reading that book two years ago.

Got it right out of college -- it was great for giving me a kick in the ass to get my finances in order. Highly recommended.
