I Will Teach You to Be Rich
I Will Teach You to be Rich, Second Edition, is the updated and expanded version of the modern money classic that has taught a generation how to earn more, save more, and live a rich life. It is a definitive guide to help people understand personal finance, providing a practical approach in managing money without wasting time on diversions that make people financially clueless. In this revised edition, personal finance expert Ramit Sethi delivers a simple, powerful, no-BS 6-week program that just works. Sethi shows you the step-by-step on how to beat banks and credit cards at the fee-game, automate your savings and investments, negotiate a raise, manage student loans, and enjoy vacations by practicing conscious spending, among others. Sethi also includes new tools, insights on money and psychology, and amazing stories of how previous readers used the book to create their rich lives. In addition, he has added a new dimension to the book: a guide for how to live a “rich life”—a life where money brings meaning, where you can afford to give back, and where experiences, and the time to pursue them, are a priority.
