Recent Stanford graduate and co-founder of a wiki startup in Silicon Valley, Ramit Sethi wants to teach you to be rich. His aptly titled blog on personal finance (banking, saving, budgeting and investing) and personal entrepreneurship,  http://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/blog/ is aimed at college students, recent college grads, and basically anyone else who is ready to take charge of his or her financial future. As he puts it, “This blog is me ranting about a few things and trying to get the points across. Getting started is more important than being the smartest person in the room. Making mistakes is ok. Action is more important than reading 50 blogs. Ordinary actions get ordinary results. And there’s a difference between being sexy and being Rich.” Sethi implores his audience to consciously think about why they want to be rich. “If you don’t,” he explains, “it’s easy to get caught up in a race to get more and more money without ever knowing why.” Citing his desire to never make a bad decision because of money (e.g., staying at a job he doesn’t love because of car payments) as the driving force behind why he wants to be rich and his reasons for teaching others to be rich, Sethi outlines his long-term goals  of earning wealth (the last of which – starting a college fund for high school/college entrepreneurs – is already crossed off) and urges his readers to make a similar list which they should revisit every 6 months. Featuring a wealth of articles on myriad topics from investing basics like All About Mutual Funds to entrepreneurial topics like the Myth of the Great Idea, I Will Teach You To Be Rich is a great resource for those plotting their path to financial freedom.
