Ramit had a formative experience when he got his first college scholarship, then lost a big chunk of it in the stock market. That experience led him to several important realizations about personal finance, and ultimately his blog is a product of that experience. But Ramit does much more than just write a money blog - in the interview we talk about his speaking and entrepreneurial activities as well.

Ben is one of the most prolific bloggers in the blogosphere. He posts several times a day, seven days a week, and often gets over 100 comments on his posts. Although he’s not a personal finance blogger, he covers a topic of great importance to everyone’s personal finances – the single family home real estate market. It’s a real hot button issue, and Ben’s a dedicated blogger, so I think you’ll find our conversation interesting.
