Check out this page Ramit Sethi put together about getting your finances under control. It’s generally great advice and I do quite a lot of it already, like setting up automatic deposits to my ING Direct savings accounts.
Here is an email he got from a reader…
“I want to earn more (I know, who doesn’t)
I keep [...]
The Art Of The Next Big Thing: From Printing Press To Internet
In: Business Ideas| Wealth
11 Jun 2009I was thinking the other day about the times in history where there have been opportunities to generate huge amounts of wealth.
It seems to be when a new piece of technology comes along that is a TOTAL game changer.
In recent memory of course is the internet, and all the things it has enabled. A small [...]
Big Annoucement Coming Up Later This Week!
In: Business Ideas| Updates| Wealth
15 Apr 2009Hey Folks,
Now that UniversityTutor.com has the billing/invoice system setup and running (more and more people are starting to use it) I’ve had a few days to work on a project I’ve been pondering for a long time.
I don’t want to give away too many details yet, but here’s what I can tell you:
It’s a web [...]

The Secret To Working Less, Producing More, And Getting Rich
In: How To| Real Estate| Wealth
16 Mar 2009There is only so much you as one person can produce in a day. Your time and mental energy are, in some sense, your most precious resource. You have a limited supply that you can use in a focused and uninterrupted way each day.
So the question becomes, what is the most effective way to spend [...]
My one goal in 2008 (or new years resolution if you’d like) was to get to $2,000 per month in passive income. There was hardly a day that went by in 2008 that I didn’t think about this goal actually. I was that obsessed with it.
By the way, in case you’re thinking “$2,000 [...]
Tax Brackets Are Unethical
16 Dec 2008For some reason at the gym last night I started thinking about tax brackets and how totally ridiculous they are.

How To Get Rich
In: Wealth
21 Nov 2008A few drips of water from the pipe under your sink hardly seems like a big deal, but a month later it may may have caused a whole bunch of damage.
You can’t see your hair and fingernails grow, but each month they require your attention for some trimming.
To you it’s just a home, but due [...]
I don’t know about you but I’m pretty glad the House rejected the government’s $700 billion dollar bailout….at least for now.
The Fed needs to focus on it’s job of controlling the money supply and inflation and stop using OUR money to bail out failed companies.
$700 billion is a lot of money. Do you realize [...]
What Rock Climbing Can Teach You About Business
In: Psychology| Wealth
3 Sep 2008Yesterday I went rock climbing with my friend James.
About half way up the last run I hit what looked like a dead end. The next handhold above me was WAY out of reach. The piece of rock I was holding onto with my hands was right around my waist…but I couldn’t reach anything [...]
