Ramit - your book and Psychology of Money changed my life substantially! I read them both two years go and I've grown my networth to 100k before 30! Its made me a person who used to see myself as "bad at money" to someone who is confident/living my rich life!

[@emilyrivera4986]

I read and reread your book. I did EVERYTHING it says. I’m feeling more financially confident now. I encourage all my friends to read it- I get very upset when they won’t read it and complain about finances. I realize most people are too lazy to make simple changes. Can’t wait to read the other books you just mentioned. Love your content!

Investing can be a very impactful way to grow your money, especially when you consider the three main factors that play a role in how much wealth you build: rate of return, how much you invest each month and, of course, time.Big ups to everyone working effortlessly trying to earn a living while building wealth. I’m 50 and my wife 44 we are both retired with over $3 million in net worth and no debts. Currently living smart and frugal with our money. Saving and investing lifestyle made it possible for us this early even till now we earn monthly through passive income

[@jacondan6335]

Glad I came across this comment section. I was struggling to decide what to do with a good amount of money in the bank doing nothing. I would be happy if you could advise me, as I am ready to go the passive income path.

[@wonderloot]

The issue is that most people have the "I want to do it myself mentality" but not equipped enough for a crash, so they get burnt, no offense intended. Generally speaking, investment advisors are ideal reps for investing, and at first-hand encounter since the covid-19 outbreak, my portfolio has yielded over 300%, sunming up nearly 7-figure as of today.

[@wonderloot]

I highly endorse the services of Regina Louise Collaro, a US-based financial advisor and consultant. Partnering with an international organization, she has been instrumental in guiding my financial journey with unwavering support until my goals are met. Selecting the right financial consultant is as crucial as finding the right life partner, as both can significantly impact your life's trajectory. I'm grateful to have found the perfect financial consultant who has helped me achieve my financial objectives, from education to nearing retirement.

[@ugojazzy7812]

I value your recommendations. It's challenging to locate a trustworthy person. I could really use your investment advisor after seeing how much money you've made through investing. If you don't mind revealing her information, that is.

[@skoopqueen]

I think you can easily find her information by doing a quick search. Feel free to reach out to her directly with any questions you may have.

Love this. I just purchased Jennifer Risher's "We Need To Talk: A Memoir About Wealth" after watching this. I'd imagine that it takes real courage as an author to approach such a subject to pot'l scorn of peers and...well, everyone else. I'm stoked to read it. I hope some day, we'll read something in this vein from Ramit and would even wager that will eventually happen. I feel that he has a unique perspective & vantage point born out of his work / life: Netflix, podcast helping couples, and the snippets he's shared on his own experiences (transition into marriage). If he tackled a viewpoint on psychology geared towards couples on finance within relationships, would be an instant buy for me (and I doubt I'm the only one).

[@deviceinside]

i hope some day people like Ramit Sethi and Jennifer Risher come to understand that welfare and minimum wage hurt the economy more that they help. I feel that a lot of Personal Finance experts just don't understand the basic principles behind free-market capitalism since they blindly cheer for progressive income taxes instead of a flat tax rate. Increasing taxes on the wealth will never solve inequality or poverty.

[@turbosnail6119]

I've been reading so many books. According to my Kindle, I'm about 70% of the way through your book right now. But I'm honestly really surprised you didn't mention The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins. I think that book is the absolute best for financially illiterate people to start with. It's the only reason I gained an interest in investing at all and based on what I see other people saying on various forums, seems to the go to recommendation for most. Collins' recent book, Pathfinders, is not as good but if anyone here is like me and is scared to start and does way too much researching and not enough doing, is a must read in my opinion because it's just a huge collection of stories of people going from 0 to rich in various ways. It's at least given me the confidence to begin.

Out of all the finance books I’ve read, this is and will probably always be my favorite (unless of course a new and improved version gets released.)

[@phillips8366]

I’m a bit of a personal finance nerd and I was very happy to see some books on this list that I haven’t read, particularly ones that talk about wealth at a higher, almost philosophical level.

[@excitedaboutlearning1639]

Dave and Ramit's recommendations and money philosophies are very different. Dave's is all about paying off your debt and living frugally while Ramit's philosophy is about automatic your finances, living your rich life by spending extravagantly on the things you love while cutting costs mercilessly on the things you don't.

[@gabriellopezpr]

I have read the Bogleheads, The Psychology of Money, and Ramith's book but a friend still recommended me to read Dave's Ramsey's Total Money Makeover and I did and don't regret it. I love all 4 books. It shows a different perspective even though I don't agree with no credit cards as I like to use then in my favor and 15 year mortgages I still liked it and don't regret it, but agree they have different philosophies. @excitedaboutlearning1639

[@Rosecransadventures]

Buying a house like that won't happen with any ordinary salary. Those houses are better calculated by a % of net worth. As a starting point, consider ~20% of net worth for a primary residence.

Hi Ramit, Can you consider doing a video regarding when it's best to pay off student loans, taking into consideration the borrowers age and the loan interest rates? A family member of mine has government student loans. Some are higher interest (6.8%) and others are lower (3.5%). They're in their 20's, so it's hard to figure out if it's best to pay them off and just "get rid of them", or stick some of that money in the market and watch it compound (since time is on their side given their only in their 20's). I've been trying to get in contact with you to make a video like this for a while, but have been unsuccessful. I think it would do really well on your channel! Anyway. Love your content. Long time listener of your podcast on my jogs. - Michael

So true about not seeing class until you meet the family. My kids didn't grow up around my family. When they got to meet them all as adults they just looked at me wide eyed and said "Mom....wow."

I want to read a book where a minimum wage worker ends up financially free before 50. I did it but I cannot find a book that describes similar journey. Most are about tech, finance workers, or maybe a teacher. I don't have a favorite book unfortunately. There's too much repeating in those books in order to appeal to the regular middle class worker who is the book buyer. I never had a 401k offered at any jobs in 28 years. I never worked a job where I had a contract. Most middle class workers find it a norm. Not norm for me which meant extra challenges at work like unpaid training and wage theft. I have two zeros in my SS even though I worked full time the two years. Would not have happened to a worker with a contract. I still keep reading the books but I wish there was more unorthodox ways of getting to financially freedom and I don't mean winning the lottery or even crypto.

No books "make" you rich. At best, they expand your thinking.
