* What surprised you? How complicated everything was. And how soon I had to start getting on all of this credit rating/ financial stuff. I thought I had to worry about that kind of stuff a lot later in life. I learned that I can have fees and extraneous costs waived if I simply picked up the phone. I called Vanguard and they walked me through opening an investment account with them. Before, I told my dad where to put my money (i.e. mutual fund indexes/ bonds (apparently I have had bonds since I was 5?), and now I have control over my accounts. * Did you take any action after his talk? I talked to my parents about getting a credit card. Apparently I'm going to get one for college. I also talked to them about getting a high-interest savings account. They were a little weary of that though. I'm not really sure why. What did you think after leaving the talk? Also: I used to be skeptical of credit cards, because I've seen how it can cause tremendous debt. I think I'm going to start with one just to build credit. I talked to Ramit Sethi afterwards about opening ETF's and annuities, which was extremely helpful. I had already read about most of the things we discussed, but still I really appreciated his information. A+ I thought his talk was pretty helpful.

Why Entrepreneurs Win

How do entrepreneurs think differently about success, risk and reward, and even day-to-day activities? What does it mean to take educated risks? And why is failure almost always taboo? Sethi covers the basics of his ideas about entrepreneurship using real-life examples, including how he has started a number of companies, battled fancy New York lawyers, and has won. But he also covers his ventures that have failed, and the valuable lessons to be learned from them.

Everything You Thought About College Admissions and Scholarships Was Wrong

Imagine how many times you’ve heard something like this: “I hope my son/daughter gets a scholarship so they can go to college” or “I’m not going to apply to Harvard. Even if I got in, I couldn’t afford it.”

These are some of the most commonly misunderstood ideas when it comes to college admissions and scholarships. Sethi, whose scholarships entirely covered his undergraduate and graduate education at Stanford University, describes the common mistakes that high-school students make when applying for college admissions and scholarships. He gives specific, actionable advice for crafting the best application possible. And he changes the way students think about succeeding in their goals.

Sethi has co-founded and manages ScholasticAdvising, a research and advising company targeting college admissions and scholarships.
