Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Banker
Twenty-six-year-old writer Amit Chatwani has never been a banker (he's an ex-strategy consultant), but after college he lived with a group of investment banker types in NYC and created Leveraged Sell-Out, a hilarious blog where he chronicled his hate for banking and finance culture.
The blog inspired Amit's new book, Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Banker ($12), which is available for presale and is a pleasant departure from the usually somber finance book genre.
The Leveraged Sell-Out in the book (also known as "LSO" or "Logan") is a 24-year old financier, who like Amit, attended Princeton University.

To hear why I changed my tune, read more
I'm Asking: Have You Ever Canceled a Vacation?
After the oft-annoying planning and booking process, the last thing on my mind is canceling a vacation. However, I once preliminarily booked hotel rooms for a pal's birthday with a 24-hour-notice cancellation policy directly from the resort's website. I knew I'd secured something at a good price while I diligently monitored my favorite travel sites to see if a room at a more desirable hotel would significantly drop in price (it did) or if I changed my mind and decided to go a different weekend (did that, too.).
Ask Savvy: Should I Buy a New Car?
Dear Savvy,
I recently got a letter in the mail from a local car dealership requesting that I trade in my 2001 VW Passat, saying that they are getting lots of requests and stating the blue book value for my car. I wouldn't mind buying a new car, but promised myself I would drive my car until it is unrepairable or I graduate from college, whichever comes first. I still have two more years to go, but if this offer is legitimate, I don't want to let the opportunity go.
