He has been providing solid, realistic and useful information for years on his blog. 2) He is an incredibly decent person, genuinely interested in helping others. 3) His book has really great, practical information that will help a lot of people get out of messy financial situations. 4) I can totally understand how some long-time blog readers may get a little irritated by book promotion in the final months leading up to the pub date, but as someone who, like Ramit and Penelope, has spent countless hours over a number of years writing lots of useful posts for free, I say give him a little break for getting excited about his book and wanting it to do well. Sorry to get all Mother Hen, but I wanted to refute some obviously incorrect assumptions about Ramit's character and intelligence. -Pamela Slim Escape from Cubicle Nation I normally stay out of the battlefield of these comments, but as someone who has known Ramit for a long time, I will say:

She / you are a great seller of yourself. And you know it. You sell the crap out of yourself. Your blog is a guilty pleasure,and your tweets are highly addictive and usually provocative (eg: "white pants"!!!). You you trying to kid? Also – this line from PT
