WHAT RAMIT SETHI BELIEVES
Buy all the lattes you want.
Your Rich Life is yours.
There's a limit to how much you can cut, but no limit to how much you can earn.
Spend extravagantly on the things you love, as long as you cut costs mercilessly on the things you don't.
The 85% Solution: Getting started is more important than becoming an expert.
Investing should be very boring—and very profitable—over the long term.
You're in control. This isn't a Disney movie and nobody's coming to rescue you.
Money is political.
I consider it a tragedy to live a smaller life than you have to.
A Rich Life is lived outside the spreadsheet.
