Money For Couples with Ramit Sethi

Ramit Sethi became famous for I Will Teach You to Be Rich, and Money For Couples takes that philosophy into the messiest financial arena there is: relationships. Each episode features a real couple sitting down with Ramit to talk through their money problems live. The conversations are raw and often uncomfortable. One partner has been hiding credit card debt. Two people earning $300,000 combined somehow feel broke. A couple disagrees on whether to rent or buy and it's become a proxy war for deeper control issues. Ramit asks direct questions, reviews their actual spending data, and helps them see patterns they've been avoiding. What makes the show compelling is that these aren't actors reading scripts. These are real people with real tension, and Ramit doesn't let them off the hook with easy answers. He'll point out when someone is being financially dishonest with their partner, and he'll challenge beliefs about money that the couple has never examined. He frequently brings up the concept of a "rich life" -- the idea that financial decisions should serve the life you actually want, not some generic template. Episodes run 50 to 70 minutes, which gives enough space for real breakthroughs (and real friction) to emerge. The show grew out of Ramit's Netflix series How to Get Rich and expanded into a standalone podcast. For couples who argue about money -- and research shows that's most couples -- hearing other pairs work through the same fights with a skilled guide is both therapeutic and educational. Single listeners also get a lot out of understanding how money dynamics play out in relationships before they get there.
