Today I want to show you how.
You might know me as the author of the New York Times bestseller I Will Teach You To Be Rich.
Or you might have seen me in a 6-page Fortune profile, featured in Forbes next to Warren Buffett, or as a regular guest on The Tim Ferriss Show.
Maybe you saw me on TikTok ridiculing all the terrible financial advice out there. (There’s so much to mock.)
I’ve been helping people see money differently for over 20 years. That means no more pinching pennies, no more budgets, no more complicated math.
Instead, I teach how to use SYSTEMS and PSYCHOLOGY to live a Rich Life — at any income level.
Here’s a snapshot of mine:
Each of these things makes my life bigger, richer, happier. For me, financial freedom means being able to spend MORE on these things, every day.
Of course, this is just my vision. Yours will be different. Your Rich Life is YOURS.
Not your parents’ vision. Not your friends’ vision. Not even mine.
Yours.
So what does your Rich Life look like?
You decide. Your Rich Life should fit you like a handmade glove.
Your Rich Life would probably make NO SENSE to me. And that’s great!
Don’t let people tell you what you should and shouldn’t want. A house with a picket fence? A high-end SUV with a 3rd row? Designer clothes from Italy? You do you. I’m giving you permission.
For example, I’m obsessed with convenience. Few things make me as happy as finding new ways I can use my money to save time and make my life easier. That means I can spend all that time saved on the things I love — like finding new hot sauces, exploring NYC, or just plain taking naps. Oh yeah, and working on growing my business!
This might seem crazy to you — I know! Maybe you’re not obsessed with convenience like I am.
But I bet you’re obsessed with something. And money could help you go deep, really deep, into it.
If you could double, triple, or even quadruple the amount of money you spend on yourself — and do it responsibly and guilt-free — how would you spend it?
And most important of all — what’s stopping you?
There are a few quirks about money that have always fascinated me:
And biggest of all: Why is it so NORMAL to stress about money?
We all feel it.
We feel it DAILY. Sometimes hourly.
Ugh.
Money stress is one of those things that’s so common that we think it’s normal. We think money HAS to be stressful.
But if you step back and look at what we’re taught about money, it’s not surprising we’re stressed. Most money advice sounds logical but actually ADDS stress to our lives.
“Keep a budget!” (Why? Every time you try it falls apart and you’re back to square one.)
“Cut back on lattes!” (Frankly, I don’t want to. I love my coffee.)
“Disable your oven light and save $0.43. EVERY YEAR!” (OMG, some frugality tips are ridiculous. They don’t work and it’s just depressing.)
“Buy crypto! Everyone’s doing it.”(Why does this feel like you’re getting ripped off…but you just don’t know how?)
It’s not a lack of trying. Or desire.
It’s not a lack of money either. Many people are surprised when their money stress doesn’t go away as their income and net worth go up. (I’ve met multiple millionaires who still bargain shop for the cheapest blueberries.)
Nor is it about intelligence. Brilliant people get tripped up by a small financial question — and don’t know where to turn. Many people don’t even know where to start when it comes to managing their money.
These Money Management Blockers are everywhere!
Do you really think some thrown-together solution — something you just “figured out along the way” — is going to optimize your money, your time, and your Rich Life?
Highly unlikely.
Now the bigger question…
We all think if we hit a certain number — maybe that’s $100k a year, or a million dollar net worth — then we’ll finally feel good about money…
But it never happens.
When we hit the goal, we find the goal post moves. Or worse, we might save and save and save…only to realize we don’t know how to actually enjoy our money. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!
People worry about money their whole lives! They scrimp and save for a retirement that they assume will be wonderful. Somehow. Magically. But when it arrives, they’re still stressed and afraid to spend.
Some people spend hours, days, even weeks building complicated spreadsheets for their money. But this doesn’t work either. Nobody wants a spreadsheet. We just want our money to go where it needs to go, automatically, with enough left over that we can enjoy our lives, guilt-free.
WE WANT A RICH LIFE!
The truth is, we all have Psychological Blockers — silent and invisible — dictating how we think, feel, and act around money. If you don’t learn how to identify and change these Psychological Blockers, you’ll never be able to take control of your money, no matter how much you earn.
Here’s the most important takeaway in all this:
When you do, amazing things can happen…
"My wife and I both graduated physical therapy school with what seemed to us a crippling level of debt…Ramit's program brought us to the next level…we were able to pay off over $230k of student loans in 5 years and become debt free…I'd highly recommend Ramit’s material to anyone and everyone out there!"
NICK PETERSON
"We stayed in a luxurious Airbnb estate in Cape Town with ocean AND mountain views, then stayed at a luxury resort for the safari…Wine tastings in Cape Town vineyards, private helicopter ride over Cape Town, and then 5-star treatment at Mfuwe Lodge in Zambia…Very expensive and worth every penny… Best trip of our lives so far, and we're planning to go back in a few years!"
KATIE MILD
Funny story…
When I was a kid, my family didn’t have a lot of money. My mom and dad immigrated from India. My dad was an engineer and my mom stayed home raising 4 kids.
No nanny, no private schools.
When our family would take a road trip, my dad would tell us to stay in the car while he checked us into a motel. That’s because, to save money, he would get a motel room with 2 single beds — for a family of 6. Then once he got the key, we would quietly go into the room, avoiding the lobby.
When we got up there, my dad would make “the phone call.”
“Hi, this is room 324,” he would say. “Could you bring some more towels to our room?”
“Yes, sir. How many do you need? 1? 2?”
“How about 4? And if you can send 2 cots, that would be great.”
“Sir, this room is booked for double occupancy only. We cannot—”
Dad: “Thank you!”
HA! WE THOUGHT THIS WAS NORMAL. Only later did we realize how hilarious it was to squeeze 6 people into a room for 2. But without things like this (and little Ramit sleeping on a motel room sofa), it gets pretty expensive to take a family on a trip.
So our family vacations were fun but simple: road trips to visit our family in LA. That was it!
You can imagine that a luxurious, guilt-free, multi-week vacation wasn’t even on my radar. I didn’t know much about money or investing, either.
When I got my first scholarship check, I invested it in the stock market and lost half my money.
Yeah, not fun. But it did teach me that I needed to learn how money worked. I didn’t want to be broke, in debt, and frustrated by money, like everyone around me. We all start out bad with money; it’s just that some people do something about it.
When I started to learn about money back in 2004, so much of what I read was telling me what I SHOULDN’T do with my money
And when you cut back every day for 60 years, you MIGHT have enough to enjoy it in your rocking chair. I don’t know about you, but that’s my nightmare.
I want to enjoy my money and my life TODAY. Not in some distant future that I might not even live to see.
Being in control of your money shouldn’t mean tracking every penny, worrying about a $5 latte, or cutting back on everything.
I want MORE, not less. I want to use my money to BUILD my life, not make it smaller through finger wagging and shaming about what I should and shouldn’t be doing.
That’s the kind of personal finance I care about: how to USE my money to build MY Rich Life.
But how do you actually do that? How do you manage the nuts and bolts of personal finance? And how do you shift your psychology to actually feeling CONFIDENT and in CONTROL of your money?
I spent years reading every book I could find, watching every TV show, devouring all the financial tips and advice I could.
I developed, tested, and refined my own philosophy on money. It’s built on a small number of simple but life-changing ideas:
And most important of all…
Getting your money in control gives you the power and flexibility to make major improvements in all areas of your life.
Time with family and friends, travel, fun experiences, personal growth, your health and fitness, hobbies, giving — ALL of these parts of your life can become bigger, easier, more exciting, and richer when your money is under control and working FOR you, not AGAINST you.
Life is easier and more enjoyable when you have a money SYSTEM instead of money STRESS.
"When we were dating, we almost always did low budget stuff because we were typical college broke students from immigrant families who typically have low-paying jobs. So…telling my wife to go out in our hometown without worrying about money was a truly special moment."
JUAN PABLO BELTRAN
"I was begging a credit union for a loan to pay off credit card debt…my wife and I made over [$100k/year] and were living paycheck to paycheck…We have paid down over $50K in debt, grown our investments, and upgraded to a gated neighborhood on the water… I am living my Rich Life now."
JESSE WOLF
I always start with the psychology. I could give you the perfect tactics but until you understand how money rollercoasters your emotions, you’ll always be stuck.
So let’s do this together. I’m going to show you 5 “invisible scripts,” or unconscious beliefs that some people have.
As you read, take a hard look to see which of these apply to you.
“Do I need a budget? Ugh. Maybe I need a money tracking app like Mint? I’ve tried tracking my spending before. I do it for three days then get bored or distracted or discouraged. There’s gotta be a better way…but what?”
“I’m just stuck on one little detail. My situation is unique, and I’m not sure what to do. I don’t want to make a mistake. That could cost me a lot of money, right? How much?”
“I’m not broke. I’m not living paycheck to paycheck. I have a nice home, a good car, HBO Max. Does it matter if I haven’t optimized my finances? It’s not stressful ALL the time. My partner and I only fight about money sometimes…”
(Btw, if you’re still reading this page, then yes, it is that bad. Who are you trying to convince here?)
“I should have started saving years ago. Too late to start now. I’m going to work until I’m dead.”
(It’s never too late to start taking control of your money. A good Money System helps you live a Rich Life TODAY, not just plan ahead for retirement.)
“I’m bad with money. It doesn’t matter how much I earn, money is always a problem. Why can’t I seem to get ahead?”
The solution is not to ignore these scripts. THEY’RE REAL!
And they make us feel uncomfortable for a reason. If you let them, these scripts will limit your Rich Life and block you from achieving financial freedom.
Nor can you keep following the broken, stressful, frugality-obsessed money advice you hear everywhere. You’ve tried that approach — probably multiple times — and it just doesn’t work.
And even if you make more money, you still won’t know how to USE it to build your Rich Life, guilt-free.
So what does a better solution look like?
Here’s my criteria:
I’m talking about a tested, automated, customizable SYSTEM for achieving financial freedom — at any level. With TRUSTED GUIDANCE every step of the way.
That’s exactly what this is all about. You don’t have to do it on your own.

It's YOUR Rich Life. You're in control.
When I first started learning about money, I would have done anything for someone to sit me down and show me exactly what to do.
Someone who could point out the Big Wins as well as steer me away from any big mistakes.
Someone who literally wrote the bestselling book on taking control of your money.
Someone interested in the big picture — a Rich Life — and not just frugality or portfolios or spreadsheets.
Someone vetted by trusted outlets.
Someone who has been around for YEARS and whose advice has already helped thousands and thousands of people.
Someone who’s earned a reputation for getting quantifiable results for students of all ages and backgrounds, from all over the globe.
“I have $600k net worth, on track for 3/4m by end of [the year] ”
I had probably $1000 to my name…and came from a family that was terrible with money…I followed every word of your advice and have you to thank over anyone else. I have $600k net worth, on track for 3/4M by end of [the year].”
“We have paid off over $45k in student loan debt ”
We have paid off over $45k in student loan debt, automated our IRA savings, and built a conscious spending plan that enables our version of a Rich Life: summers off with our kids, adventurous travel, and supporting our favorite local businesses and nonprofits.”
“My debt pay-off date is now [next August] ”
I was told to sign up for this Discover credit card to build credit. One thing led to another and fast forward 18 months, I had…almost $18,000 in debt. My debt pay-off date is now [next August] (~$65,000)…This would not have been possible if I didn’t see my life from how Ramit teaches.”

I’ve tested my Rich Life System with MILLIONS of people — yes, MILLIONS — so I know it works.
The Rich Life System works…
…even if you don’t know anything about money or investing
…even if you have no idea where to start
…even if you don’t make “a lot of money”
…even if this is your 12th time trying to get your money in order
…even if you’re single, in a relationship, with kids, without kids, just starting out, or well on your way.
If you’re wondering if this program will work for you, the answer is a resounding YES!
“How much time does this take?”
You can set up your Rich Life System over a weekend. The exact time required depends on how deep you want to go on your Rich Life Vision as well as how familiar you are with your current finances.
Once your system is up and running, you can maintain it (and manage your money) in just 1 hour a month — or less.
“I don’t live in the United States. Does this work for international students?”
“Is this designed for any income level?”
Yes!
“How is this different from your book?”
If you’ve read my book, that’s great! This program includes some tactics taught in the book as well as many new ones — especially new ones around how to USE your money to live your unique Rich Life. Money Coaching will help you take your money and Rich Life to the next level.
If you haven’t read my book, that’s OK too! I understand that not everyone wants to learn from a book. Money Coaching is an approachable and comprehensive place to start your Rich Life and personal finance journey.
“Is this for individuals or couples?”
“Couldn’t I just hire a financial planner?”
You could, but it would be VERY COSTLY. Financial planners like to show off how small their fees are, but this is misleading. Over a 35-year outlook, a 1% fee will reduce your total returns by 28%! If you invested $100 a month for 35 years, paying 1% in fees, that means you’ll be losing over $35,700 that would have been yours.
And this doesn’t even consider the fact that most actively managed funds fail to beat the market. Why pay exorbitant fees when you can do better, for cheaper, on your own?
My Rich Life System shows you how to set up automated, low-risk, low-fee, set-it-and-forget-it investments that beat most financial advisors in both the short and long run.
I know Money Coaching isn’t the only choice for getting your finances together. You could…
But the truth is these things usually don’t move the needle at all. You’ve probably already tried some of these multiple times!
Budgets don’t work. You don’t stick to them.
Sometimes you need more than a few Youtube videos, a podcast, and some quick tips from your dad.
And sometimes you don’t want to read a 300+ page book and try to apply it all on your own. Are you doing it right? How do you apply it to YOUR situation? How do you even know if you got the right book?
Sometimes you just want someone to tell you exactly what you need to do, from A to Z.
I get it. I spent THOUSANDS OF HOURS studying personal finance, investing, taxes, insurance, psychology, and more to figure this all out — plus more time learning by expensive trial and error. But you don’t have to go through all that.
Money Coaching gives you a shortcut to financial freedom, at any income level:
And you get all this without giving up control or losing over a quarter of your total returns to fees, like you would with a financial planner.
With Money Coaching, you’re in control. And there are no hidden fees or surprises. When you join, I’ll help you set up your own, customized, automated Money Machine — then you can get back to living your Rich Life.
I know, I know.
If money is only one part of living your Rich Life, why does it really matter if you get it straightened out now? Why not just focus on doing more of what you love?
Maybe take a painting class. Or get really fit. Or finally write that book you’ve been thinking about. Or just catch up on Netflix?
I do think you should do more of the things that make you happy.
But I also know that if you don’t take control of your money, you’ll be held back.
Why?
Because without your own Rich Life System, your money won’t DRIVE your deepest-held aspirations.
Without your money working for you, you’ll keep living a smaller life than you have to.
Without fixing your money psychology, you’ll keep feeling stressed, anxious, frustrated, and guilty about money — sometimes all at once.
Without trusted guidance, you’ll never reach financial freedom.
Rich Lives are built on solid foundations. You don’t need a lot of money, but your money does need to be working for you, not against you.
Use the right SYSTEM and you can start living YOUR Rich Life, just like so many of my other students…
"These Rich Life choices are about so much more than the cost of a 3-day vacation. This down time on the beach with my family is absolutely priceless to our mental and physical health."
KAREN RICKS
"If you just stick to the system and keep going, your life won’t ever be the same in ways you can’t imagine…I can’t even count the number of trips…I have taken since enacting this system."
KERI BENNETT
Ask yourself:
A Rich Life can be yours. Not just theirs.
You don’t have to do it alone. Or figure it out yourself. Or put it off another week.
Build your Rich Life today — and start enjoying it today. I will walk you through each step of the process.
You’re just one step away from solving your money stress once and for all. And changing your life for every year to come.
