Happy Friday. Just wanted to give you an update on NO WORRIES: How To Live a Stress-Free Financial Life.
Sales have been strong. So strong, in fact, that Amazon ran out of stock!
If you have designs on buying a copy, I recommend that for the time being you get it from Barnes & Noble. Link here:

If you bought a copy on Amazon, please leave a review. If I get 200 reviews by Tuesday, February 6th, magical things happen. Basically, the algorithm will pick it up and the book will get promoted across the site, and then it will take on a life of its own. I’m currently at 102 reviews. Doesn’t have to be a PhD dissertation—if you just took a minute out of your day and left a short review, it would really help out the cause.
And what is that cause? Putting an end to all the dumb nonsense that the so-called “experts” say about personal finance. If you think Dave Ramsey is a ding dong, with his envelopes and his growth-stock mutual funds, a vote for NO WORRIES is a vote against that guy. Let’s be smart and do smart things.
And if you don’t like Barnes & Noble for whatever reason, there are a bunch of retailers here:

I’m starting a revolution. Will you join me? Refreshments will be served.
I’ll have a fun essay for you this weekend. Sorry about all the hot and heavy sales pitches.
Sincerely,
Jared
Give Ramsey some slack. There are a lot of people who succeed with his advice. The envelope system is excellent, especially if you have no self control. And there are a lot of us. Cut up the credit cards and 'sell the car' are also counter cultural. Then again, you are correct to point out that at some point austerity has it's limitations. I'm going for the audo book.
Sorry I missed your book signing tonight! Have the book and look forward to reading!
