Our Editor's Take

I Will Teach You To Be Rich is a podcast sharing real money stories. The people are authentic, and the numbers are genuine. These are couples with money struggles, despite a high net worth. Thanks to host Ramit Sethi, these usually private conversations are available to anyone. He reveals the psychology behind money.

One outstanding aspect of I Will Teach You To Be Rich is its honesty. Since money gets handled more like a taboo topic, audiences rarely hear actual figures. On this podcast, they will. It discloses people's salaries, their spending habits, and more. It helps listeners and participants understand the causes behind common money issues.

Host Sethi is an American author who has published books on the subject and provides financial advice. On his podcast, he teaches the topics and theories that often aren't mentioned in schools. Sethi lays his guest's finances bare and gives them real talk. There is no skirting around the issue.

The conversations mention topics from stinginess to guilt and splitting finances. Many episodes center around an embarrassing or seemingly illogical issue. For example, someone earns twice as much as their partner but makes them split the rent. Sethi uses his knowledge of money and psychology to help overcome the issue. Listeners might find themselves surprised at how similar some of their troubles are.

I Will Teach You To Be Rich is a podcast that opens conversations about money. Usually, they're the tough ones or the downright shocking ones. The show is authentic and features real people who share their real figures. There's no embellishing the situation to make it appear better. Listening will provide lessons surrounding money and its interaction with thoughts and behavior. This podcast airs new episodes four to eight times per month.
