You’ve Got Money All Wrong: A Step by St...

Mel Robbins
About this episode

You can be rich.

(Don’t roll your eyes at me; I’m serious.)

This is not what you think.

This episode today is so digestible. So counterintuitive. One of the most enlightening conversations I’ve had with anybody. 

If I had a nickel for every epiphany I had during this episode, I’d be rich.

Most of us have been thinking about money all wrong.

It turns out that the amount of money you have in the bank (or don’t have in the bank) is only a small part of your relationship with money.

I didn’t realize this until I got to sit down with the incredible Ramit Sethi.

He’s a NYT best-selling author and finance advisor with a brand new, top-ranked Netflix series called How to Be Rich, where he coaches real people about how to take control of their financial lives.

He says you’ve been thinking about money all wrong. 

This is one of my favorite conversations ever.

It changed the way I think about money.

If you were told that you need to create a budget and stick to it, Ramit calls BS.

Instead, you’ll learn about your money dials, the only four numbers that matter, the 85% Rule, why the 10 Year Bucket List is so important, the one thing you should NEVER say about yourself, and best of all, what it means to live a Rich Life.

Today’s episode is going to change the way you SEE money, because when you see it differently, you’ll treat it differently.

If you’re feeling crushed by debt, you’re trying to save for a new home, you can’t stop spending, or you’re constantly getting into arguments with your partner over money issues, you need to hear this episode today.

You have to learn to feel confident around money, and Ramit has the practical tools and resources to teach you how.

And if you’re looking for another zero-cost resource to help you change your mindset around finances, I’ve got just the thing.
