Ramit Sethi, the money and couples’ finances expert, is back! This time, he’s teaching you how to have life-changing money conversations with your partner so you can build a “rich life” together and even FIRE faster! You may know Ramit from his popular book, I Will Teach You to Be Rich, or his Netflix series How to Get Rich, but today, he’s sharing brand new insights, techniques, and lessons from his newest book, Money for Couples!

If you’re a FIRE freak like us, you may have a partner who’s having a tough time getting on the same financial page as you. You see their eyes glaze over as you pull up spreadsheets, talking about compound interest and the savings from switching to non-organic broccoli. We’re sure it’s well-intentioned, but this could be doing more harm than help.

If you want to enjoy getting “rich” with your partner, have more time to do the things you love, and build your wealth as a partnership instead of constantly persuading your other half, this is the episode to catch! Ramit shares his “script” for having crucial money conversations, diagnoses which “money type” you fall into, and gives the steps to escape the “Middle-Class Trap!

In This Episode We Cover

How to start a “money conversation” with your partner (EVEN if they aren’t into FIRE)

The money dates you must have to get on the same page

The four “money types” and how knowing yours can strengthen your relationship

What the FIRE movement gets wrong about money (it’s not all about dollars and cents!)

Escaping the “Middle-Class Trap” of not being able to retire EVEN when you’re wealthy

The most surprising thing that Ramit has learned about money in most relationships

Why Ramit rents and has NO INTEREST in buying a house!

And So Much More!
