Thank you. Don’t know why it’s not also in the description

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!

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!

“Your Money or Your Life” by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez is by far my favorite finance book. Amazingly written and really reframes what money is

The Psychology of Money absolutely changed the way I thought about money and behaviors towards money. Also Morgan Housel the author has a podcast where he doubles down and adds more topics from his book.

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).

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.

I have two of those books and now that Ramit recommended his top 5 I will keep those other 3 in mind! Of course, one of those is Ramit’s book! 😃

Just finished the psychology of money last week. Maybe your book next!

Save the best for last! I’ve read Ramit’s book cover to cover twice already and successfully convinced many of my friends to get one of their own (after letting them have a preview of mine of course), I even bought one for my sister. 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.)

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.

The simple path to Wealth is a great book. JL collins

Thanks! I just bought the psychological of money. What financial podcasts do you recommend (aside from your own)?

As always, very good information!

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.

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." Yup. When I said I came from a poverty mindset they didn't understand it until they saw it for themselves.

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.

About the minimum wage needing to be higher.....for what it is worth.....here is my personal observation: If you have a full time job and cannot afford a place to live and pay for a car and insurance and have a savings account, there is little point to employment, right?

there is a definitely a book trend all over social media. everyone flexing about reading . it's a little odd. tip - don't buy, use your local library

No books "make" you rich. At best, they expand your thinking. As with ALL books, consider how the author made their money, the current climate, and trends etc. "Principles" on getting rich are better that "books" on getting rich. Principles NEVER change.

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.
