I Will Teach You To Be Rich

  • Summary

  • Imagine listening in on these raw, unfiltered conversations with real couples… One partner is in $300,000 in debt, but shrugs it off. The other cries at night, anxious about the future. A couple that’s so worried about money, they never feel they’ll have enough. When they eat out, they order chicken instead of steak to save $10. Their household income: $600,000. Two parents who feel overwhelmed by work, kids, and debt. When I ask them how they’d describe their lives, they instantly say the same word: “Stuck.” Ramit Sethi asks the questions we wish we all could ask, presenting a totally different philosophy on money: • Spend extravagantly on the things you love, as long as you cut costs mercilessly on the things you don’t. • Ask $30,000 questions, not $3 questions. • A Rich Life is more than math -- it’s mastering your money psychology. From the author of the bestselling book, ‘I Will Teach You To Be Rich,’ learn how money psychology affects these couples… and how to create your own Rich Life.

Dont wait!! Listen to this...

I loved this episode. It was great getting perspective that was provocative and useful right out of the box. I liked the points that were made about spending your resources (money, time, company, etc...) in the right way. Ramit has a way of communicating his point with out over pontificating.

More of a marriage counselor than a money podcast.

stories can be interesting to listen to because some of these people are extremely neurotic, but this is a touchy, feely, sensitive way to try to convince people to make changes in their life and marriage. I agree with his reasoning, but I would never recommend this podcast to anyone that wants to learn about money. I purchased his book on a recommendation , but now I'm worried that it has less to do with finance and more to do with emotional baggage. If that's the case I'll be getting my money back.

Talking about money from the inside

This podcast is great -- it's so interesting to hear other people open up about how they interact with each other and their finances. There are a lot of "hey, I do that too!" moments in here -- very educational, and not an angle I've heard elsewhere.

I want even more!

The conversations often take interesting tangents. Now I wish he could interview single parents, examine their hang ups and help them think out of the box to overcome money scripts of scarcity and struggle.

Money psychology and money lenses

I’ve recently embarked on what I refer to as my financial awakening and was, just like many of the guests on this podcast, terrified of money. I’ve read ramit’s book and about 12 others to get myself on the right path and since expanded into podcasts but what I love most about this is the insight into different money lenses and psychology. Bc as ramit says with money we are not logical, we are emotional, irrational, and understanding the deep seated reasons behind this help us to simplify and demystify money. Plan to keep listening. Thanks for the good content- always amazed how calm and understanding ramit is at emotional times and silly or shocked etc at seemingly the right times.

A must listen!

I love Ramit’s no-nonsense approach to personal finance. I also love how he recognizes that most of have psychological issues with money, and this is what tends to cause our deeper issues. The podcast has been so helpful for my husband and I - so much so that, if we felt more comfortable sharing our personal financial info in public, we would apply to be on the show ourselves!
