The Kashman family is preparing to PCS this summer, so it is time for another round of “Kate gives away her books!” Every day this week, I will be putting up another book to be given away to a lucky reader.
Today’s book is I Will Teach You To Be Rich by Ramit Sethi. As my daughter said, “That’s the best book title ever!” I like Ramit a lot, and this book could be a great tool for someone who doesn’t have a lot of knowledge about financial topics like credit cards, bank accounts, and investment accounts. Ramit’s style is easy to read and pretty funny, too.
To enter the contest, please leave a comment telling me what part of personal finance you need to learn more about. I will use a random number generator to select a winner. The contest ends at midnight EST on Friday, 27 April 2012. Winners will be notified by email so be sure that the email you use for the comment is correct.

I would like to learn about investing, money market, versus bank savings accounts.
I would like to be educated on becoming rich and manage itight here!
I'm going through a divorce and need to make wise investment and retirement decision; I am from a different country and cannot go back with my children, so I need to make good decisions so I can survive on my own.
I need to know how to transfer an old 401k to my TSP, or some other account, and what options are best. I don't have much in there, but the stock from my old employer isn't doing well, and I don't expect it to ever improve.
I need to know more about retirement saving. TSP, 401K, IRA, Roth IRA. I have no clue which one is best for us.
I would like to understand better why it took me so long to start to want to learn about personal finance; why we were all taught trigonometry and calculus in high school but I never saw "Saving $2000/yr from age 18-26 = Saving $2000/yr from age 26-retirement", much less how to properly invest it; and how to teach my children a harder but more sure path to wealth than aspiring to be a reality TV star, thinking like you're poor so you can live like you're rich. I think living in a trailer in the woods for a few years might do them some good, but my wife won't have it, lol.
I suppose a more concrete (and boring) answer would be applying the intricacies of tax law to all my financial maneuvers.
I would like to know all about the right moves to handle financial decisions and make things better for the future and for the well-being of my family.
I need to learn about how to manage my retirement funds as a group instead of as individual accounts.
I want to learn how to etrade.
