Jim I like it. Shaking camera was not a problem. Keep it going with more and differnt topics.

Just saw this Jim. I like it and thought it was well done (especially since it’s the first time).

I totally agree with the “standard advice may not apply to you” part of the video.

Btw, you aren’t doing it at some other blogger’s house are you? Is she going to ask for royalties?

Wow Jim is a human! LOL

I wrote an article about personal finance gurus awhile back, Im glad to see someone look at these people as “human” and not much more.

Everyone is diiferent, no one size fits all advice

Here’s another positive comment. Brings a different flavor definitely. Keep it up…I’m sure it’ll only improve.

I think you did a good job. The duration was just right and once you have the Gorillapod in place, the next one will be even better.

I wish I was as money savvy when I was in my 20’s. I have always been a frugal spender, but thanks to blogs like yours, I continually monitor my finances and try to cover all the bases.

Thanks for your continued effort.

Shahid.

Nice work. As long as you keep them short (to match my attention span!), I think it’s a great format.

Thank you for the encouragement, honestly, I’m scared of seeing myself on camera but I figured this would be a lot more fun and everyone has been very supportive. I’m very thankful you guys are so kind!

Thanks for the tips Bur.gr, I found myself swallowing to buy time to think because it’s really off the cuff rather than a prepared speech. I hope it’ll get better as I go, thanks for the encouragement!

Hey Jim,

Great video! The shaking camera action didn’t bother me much, but the occasional hesitations in your speaking did. I’m sure as you crank out more of these that will disappear.

Again, great video, keep it up!
