Sorry. The word Boot Camp brings back memories of yelling for getting out of step.

Way too much good free advice to pay that much.

I like Ramit’s ideas but think they come up at a steep price. More often than not, I get the same information from Suze on Oprah’s show for free (or numerous other places). I’m really looking for next steps once you have the basics down. Jim – you want to write a post about what to do after you’ve gotten through the baby steps?

Like a lot of others I’ve read countless books and magazine articles about what I need to be doing. I already live a very stripped down Scroogie way of life and scrutinize every purchase but I need to go the extra mile beyond my 401K and get more into a savings account or Roth IRA. Thank you to Bargaineering for the constant reminders to keep going in the right direction. Yes, we’re all listening. We just sorta drag our feet sometimes. =)

I unfortunately have to agree with the comments regarding the blog. I read Ramit’s book and found it to be a great read and recommended it to friends and family. His blog seems to attempt every marking tactic possible and rehashing many of the same points from the book. It is beginning to read more and more like generic marketing copy. I am also glad I used a separate spam account for his book “extras”. I loved his book but am now very turned off by his website.

I don’t want to sound negative, but this boot-camp seems to have solidified this theory for me.

what i Ddon’t get is the 200 dollar charge. What is there in this “bootcamp” that isn’t in his book/on his blog already? His book was the first finance book I bought and it was awesome, don’t get me wrong, but I feel like he i just rehashing all this stuff over and over again under the guise of you have to spend money to make money. Maybe I am wrong and if I were just coming into it now I would see it as a better opportunity….or maybe i am just missing something

as for his writing style I enjoy it but I can see how some people might not. I found the book funny and definitely geared more towards 20 somethings.

I’m with Bill. I can’t stand ramit’s blog. I’ll stick to the simple dollar and get rich slowly.

I considered registering for the class, but with the exception of week 4 where he deals with conscious spending I have most of the other things in place. I think for someone just starting to pay attention to their finances this would be well worth the price.

I stopped reading his blog, way to much attitude.

I’ve met Ramit in person and he’s a cool guy. He can come off harsh in his writing but he has good intentions. I’m passing on the program but I don’t doubt it’s helpfulness for people who need it!
