A little more about me
Hi, my name is Ramit Sethi. I Will Teach You To Be Rich is both the name of my New York Bestselling book and this site, which hosts over 250,000 readers per month.
I’ve written about personal finance in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, and I’ve spoken on dozens of media outlets including NPR, ABC News, and CNBC, and popular blogs like the 4-Hour Work Week and Mashable.
My book is a 6-week personal finance program that has helped tens of thousands of people get out of debt, save more, automate their finances, actually make more money.
I also graduated from Stanford, with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in technology and psychology; co-founded PBwiki, a venture-backed startup; and can eat really spicy food.
Why did I start the site?
When I was in high school, coming from a middle-class family with four kids, my parents told me that if I wanted to go to college (which I had to, because I’m Indian), I’d have to get scholarships. I applied to over 70 scholarships and I still remember my first one: They wrote the $2,000 check to me, which I promptly invested, losing 50% of it in a couple months.
After that, I decided to learn about money so I didn’t lose the rest.
I read the books and magazines, watched the TV shows, and realized there are a few simple steps to getting rich — and a lot of hype. Getting started is more important than being the smartest person in the room. It’s ok to make mistakes. Read a lot so you know when to call BS, but not too much–action is more important than reading. Ordinary actions get ordinary results. And there’s a difference between being sexy and being Rich.
Today, thousands of readers come to this site to focus on big wins — not to be nagged at for drinking lattes, but to spend money extravagantly on the things they love, while cutting costs mercilessly on the things they don’t.
