I will teach you to be rich

Here's an interview, I would have liked to do on my favorite blogger, Ramit

Ramit's interview

Just one of the excerpts to show the depth of the interview: "When I was in high school I got so frustrated because so many people would say, "Oh I'm not going to apply to Stanford, because even if I got in, I couldn't afford it." This is exactly the wrong way to think about it. The right way to think about it is "I'm going to apply everywhere. I'm going to do a great application, and if I get in, then I'll think about the money." And usually what happens is if you're good enough to get in, then they'll take care of you. I saw a lot of kids doing this and it made me sad. My parents were very middle class and there were four kids in the family. They told us, "You guys have got to get scholarships, otherwise you can't go to college." So we did! And there's no secret, it's the same things I talk about: take the initiative, be patient, learn from your mistakes, that sort of stuff".........

Cody McKibben's blog is a nice read too.
