This book, updated for a new era, provides a simple and powerful 6-week program to manage finances. Ramit Sethi focuses on behavioral psychology to help readers save more, earn more, and automate their finances. Key lessons include focusing on big wins rather than small savings, automating financial tasks, and spending guilt-free on things you love while cutting back on unnecessary expenses. The book also covers topics like crushing debt, setting up high-interest bank accounts, and long-term investing in index funds.
237: This is the story of how I went from identifying as a scrappy, impulse spender, to a financial baller, who raised my “financial thermometer” and paid off $8.6K in high-interested credit card debt in 1 month.
If you want the practical (color coding expenses, tracking every dollar, and cutting costs) AND energetic goodness (vision boards, painting your nails green, and mocking up screenshots) to build momentum, this episode is for you!
