Be cool

Ramit Sethi has an excellent video on what you can do to stay ahead during the current financial crisis. His advice is spot on - looking for blame is irrelevant, and the best thing most people can do is save, save, save

I think the first part (finding a job) falls under his definition of "investing in yourself" - although if I had no job and couldn't get one (because I worked in the financial sector, or for other reasons) I'm not sure what my exact plan would be.

As far as starting a side business, I think a better way to put it would be to try to make as much money on the side as possible - for me that means starting a tutoring service or doing tech consulting, neither which require any start-up capital. Starting something big - like a coffee shop etc. would be pretty tough right now.

More key I think was his advice to save money/cut expenses - something that's overlooked during good times. It's certainly something that would've cushioned my losses.

I've been meaning to comment (and to say hi, how've you been since you've gone to a new part of the country..:))! Although I've also been meaning to watch Sethi's video (haven't gotten to it yet), I always have to agree about saving

Working with Ramit at iwillteachyoutoberich.com - Hi from Andy

Hi there,

My name is Andy Lynch and I'm actually currently working with Ramit from iwillteachyoutoberich.com, and he pointed me to this post.

Couple of things I wanted to ask you:

1. Ramit just put out a private video on automating your finances and we wanted to send it to you as a thank-you.

2. His new book is coming out, and for the people who pre-order the book (it's about $10) in the next few days, you'll get 6 chapters by PDF before anyone else, plus entry into a private community with premium content. Can I send you some more info and the link to the video? If yes, please drop me a line as soon as possible -- andrewlynch88@gmail.com.

Thanks,

Andy
