Thanks for choosing the salary article for your roundup, Trent. Austin from Foreigners Finances actually contributed that one to my site. So I can’t even claim it. :) Good luck with the book.

I went to Amazon.com to check out your book-there are already something like 12 used for sale? How can this be? Is this the people you gave the book to already? If/when I get this book I will keep it on the shelf for reference-doesn’t seem like the kind of thing you’d get rid of. But I’m baffled at all the used ones for sale already when it just came out?

I’m new to The Simple Dollar and I really appreciate the work you do weeding through the “junk” on the internet. Yesterday I was bored so I tried some links to other blogs you have on your page. GRS regularly has GOOD articles but the rest of them just can’t be counted on daily. Thanks for your hard work! It saves me time.

I was interviewed over the phone live on the radio last year. It’s hard not to have the visual cues you are used to in a conversation.

The tips I learned:
Talk slower than you think you should.
Have a list of talking points in front of you.
Never answer a question with just a yes or no. Always expand that into the next point you want to make.
