About this listen

“A unique voice on money, one singularly attuned to...his generation.” (San Francisco Chronicle)

Buy as many lattes as you want. Spend extravagantly on the things you love. Live your rich life instead of tracking every last expense with Ramit Sethi’s simple, powerful, and effective six-week program for gaining control over your finances.

This isn’t typical advice from a money expert. In this completely updated second edition, Ramit teaches you how to choose long-term investments and the right bank accounts. With his characteristic no-BS perspective, he shows how to squeeze every hidden benefit out of your credit cards. Crush debt and student loans. Learn the exact words to negotiate a raise. Set up an automatic payment system and get on with your life. Plus, new material on overcoming psychological barriers, love and money, new investments options, and real audience stories of how applying Ramit’s principles led to a rich life.

“Don’t let the breezy, irreverent style of this book fool you. It contains serious advice on personal-finance decisions, from budgeting and savings to spending and investing.” (Burton G. Malkiel, author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street)

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

this book is so profoundly eye opening that it has inspired me to write a review when 20 something other audiobooks and over 200 hours of listening have not.

anyone who has money in their lives should absolutely read this book. whether youve saved thousands, hundreds, or are in debt, read it.

you will not regret it!

i dont ever say this; its a must read

Everyone regardless of age. Should read this book. I've changed up a lot of how I operate my financials and started researching for my future.

A necessity

could not stop listening. made so much sence and made me more confident and comfortable with thoughts and reservations I have had.

life changing

It is a great book for people like me who would like to have more organised approach to life in terms of money. Most of us are not financially educated with Ramit's pragmatic approach. It would be great if such kind of vital knowledge becomes mandatory part of the school curriculum.

Real advice

overall this is a good book about personal finance. it could be much shorter but I understand Ramit needed to add many other things to convince readers about his tactics (eg testimonials from his students).

other readers complain about the book is only for US and not for Australia. but Come on guys, Australia is one of the richest countries, whatever the US has, there's an equivalent one in Australia.

And here's for Australian readers. I've done my research and compared what's equivalent in Australia to US;

Superannuation in Australia is the equivalent version to Roth IRA in the US.

Vanguard Australia is the equivalent version to Vanguard US. Or you can choose any other investment brokerage firms or Superannuation companies with low fees.

Vanguard Australia has also now offered Superannuation.

Target Date Fund or Lifecycle fund are the same as explained by Ramit in his book.

Vanguard Australia Super will default invest your super fund to their Lifecycle fund, which is the equivalent of Target Date Fund that Ramit recommended.

After reading this book, I paid off my credit card debt immediately (I have the money to), reduced my monthly expenses by reviewing costs and cancelling unnecessary ones.

I opened Vanguard Australia person investor account (10 minutes), then opened Vanguard Super account, signed up for their Lifecycle fund, then feed money into this fund weekly.

Though putting all money to your super / retirement account doesn't sound so appealing to me (and many others I think). What Ramit taught in this book has intrigued me to read and learn more about low-cost index funds. Investing into low-cost index funds for long term is the right strategy.

I've since opened Stake (HelloStake) trading account, plus my Vanguard personal investor accounts and now I'm putting money to these accounts on weekly basis to buy ETFs, low-cost index funds (eg iShares S&P 500 ETF, ticker IVV, available in Australia).
These are all available in Australia that you can try.

Then it's done. It'd take less than a day to open Vanguard and Stake account. Learning about ETF, index funds will take you just a few days.

I hope this will help others. I'll post this to YouTube too.

overall good book on personal finance

It’s a long book and not all info applies to Australia, but I took away some amazing money tips for investing and career! Love his attitude!

Great tips!

I enjoy Ramit’s Podcast too

Thanks Ramit Sethi

Loved this book Simple and to the point

Teaches similar philosophy than the barefoot investor. This was very US heavy with Roth IRA and 401k

Good book but very US centric

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

the only downside that i can see, is that he constantly plugs this book; in this book. but it's easy to skip, ao whatever

pretty damn good
