This past Wednesday, I had the pleasure of being invited to do an hour-long interview with the man behind Ask Mr. Credit Card. It was an awesome experience. He was one of the nicest and most genuine people I’ve yet to meet since starting the blog.

Thanks for listening, Brad. Appreciate all your support lately! It’s a hard thing to get used to being recorded for that long, but it was a blast.
Excellent site, keep up the good work
Not sure how many of the readers actually took some time out to listen to the complete session but it was very informative about your past and your views on your own personal finances.
I do echo Mr. Credit Card’s concern that you might fall into a trap where you move onto something else too quickly. I have been accused of doing so too frequently and it is a major aspect of my own personal personality that has stunted my successes.
