Everyone Teaches Saving. No One Teaches Spending | Ramit Sethi
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR MONEY, TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE.
Talking about money can be hard.
Most people would rather talk about dying than money.
It’s important to come up with a game plan.
When you get organized with your finances, the stress starts to go away.
Both high earners and people struggling with debt both need to be educated about money management.
It’s not as complicated as you think.
That’s why I’m excited to share this interview with a money guru who helped me get out of debt when I was younger: Rami Sathi.
Ramit Sethi is a New York Times bestselling author of I Will Teach You To Be Rich and founder of GrowthLab.com. He studied technology and psychology at Stanford and has helped over a million people live a “Rich Life.”
Ramit shares tools and strategies to make the most out of your money no matter how much you make.
He argues that you can buy as many lattes as you want and still be financially successful by focusing on the bigger picture.
