Must-Listen-To-Episodes-On-Business-And-Money-Almost-30-Almost30-Lindsey-Simcik-Krista-Williams-Ramit-Sethi

Ramit Sethi’s book, I Will Teach You To Be Rich, is an absolute game-changer in the finance world. Ramit Sethi is charismatic, grounded, and relatable — not to mention one of the most progressive voices in the financial literacy and wellness space.

Ramit Sethi does not sugarcoat things, and when it comes to finances and getting good at managing them, you have to be real about it. He infamously pushes back against the tired advice of “cutting out lattes” in order to save money. Instead, Ramit focuses on indulging in the things you actually care about and noticing when you spend money on things you don’t really care about.

We also talk about:

  • How to get over making excuses when it comes to finances
  • The connection between human behavior and finance
  • Getting your finances together in your 20s
  • Creating money rules around “yes” instead of “no”
  • Stop worrying about things you shouldn’t
  • How your spending changes as you grow
  • How saving can make you feel free
  • Making real money through investing
  • Ramit Sethi on writing a prenup
  • Why buying a house isn’t always better than renting
