IWT uses an alternate sans-serif typeface, "Source Sans Pro", for running text that needs to be read from start to finish.
When I was in high school, coming from a middle-class family with four kids, my parents told me that if I wanted to go to college (which I had to, because I’m Indian), I’d have to get scholarships. I applied to over 70 scholarships and I still remember my first one: They wrote the $2,000 check to me, which I promptly invested, losing 50% of it in a couple months.
After that, I decided to learn about money so I didn’t lose the rest. I read the books and magazines, watched the TV shows, and realized there are a few simple steps to getting rich — and a lot of hype. Getting started is more important than being the smartest person in the room. It’s ok to make mistakes. Read a lot so you know when to call BS, but not too much–action is more important than reading. Ordinary actions get ordinary results. And there’s a difference between being sexy and being Rich.
Today, thousands of readers come to this site to focus on big wins — not to be nagged at for drinking lattes, but to spend money extravagantly on the things they love, while cutting costs mercilessly on the things they don’t.

More importantly, you don’t have to be the first to be successful. I was sucking on a pacifier when Dave Ramsey started talking about money. But my approach (and my market) is different, and my material works.

Hi Ramit,
…I have a lot of interests and my thoughts are perhaps starting a blog will help me narrow these down to something I can focus on, with an eye to become an expert at.
Do you think starting a generic blog where I rambled about a range of topics be a terrible idea, or a great way to let it grow organically and become a true representation of what I want to do most?
