  • 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.

Must listen to!

These are fantastic and an absolute must for understanding the role of money in relationships and the psychology behind it. I’ve learnt a lot from these.

a refreshing straight shooter..

Ramit keeps it real and is a money "doctor"!

Quickly zones in on the root cause of the problem, and helps you acknowledge it and the remedies that are measurable. A no "BS" direct approach which is what we all really need. One can relate to his clients, the pickle they find themselves in, the high emotions, disjointed-communication and high stress levels etc..... it all resonates on some level. Great info and tips to a cross range of listeners.

An actionable takeaway for all!
