Worry about the things you can control, not the headlines."If you are having trouble sleeping at night(and a lot of people are), then here are ten links to help you understand the present financial crisis and get through this thing without bags under your eyes.

Hi El Tom,

I’m working with Ramit Sethi of iwillteachyoutoberich.com and he pointed me to this post.

Couple of things I wanted to ask you:

1. Ramit just put out a private video on automating your finances and we wanted to send it to you as a thank-you.
2. His new book is coming out, and we are inviting folks to pre-order the book (it’s about $10) in the next few days. They will get 6 chapters by PDF before anyone else, plus entry into a private community with premium content. Can I send you some more info and the link to the video? If yes, please drop me a line as soon as possible — jms (at) jannamarlies (dot) com. Thanks!…jms
