Down to earth no nonsense basic finance tips to put your personal finances on auto pilot. In another blog turned book, Ramit Sethi gives advice on taking ownership of your own finances and getting the ball rolling even if it’s only $1. Automate where the money in your paycheck goes (10%  401k, 20% for vacations etc…) and use the power of the market to make your money work for you.
 
Key takeaway: Finances are a taboo topic that some get scared away from. Start now. Don’t just take our word for it, “If you invest $5,000 every year (which is $417/month) for 10 years, from age 25 to age 35 and then never invest again, you’d still have more money at retirement, than someone who starts at age 35 and invests $5,000 every year UNTIL they retire.”
