Vanessa (48) and George (59) have been married for five years and run two businesses together, but still keep their finances separate, leading to recurring tension, resentment, and financial instability. Vanessa is a risk-tolerant entrepreneur who sees money as a tool for growth. George is nearing retirement, risk-averse, and clings to financial security. They split everything 50/50, even when Vanessa stopped drawing a paycheck from their business. Now, with $482K in debt and $28K in savings, George's retirement is looming, making their financial foundation feel unstable. His fear-based money spirals derail productive conversations, while Vanessa feels alone, unsupported, and afraid their misalignment could threaten their future. Can they learn to trust each other, merge their financial lives, and build a shared vision before retirement kicks in?

In this rare and intimate episode, Ramit takes the hot seat alongside his wife, Cassandra, as they're interviewed by their close friend Julie Nguyen. Together, Ramit and Cass pull back the curtain on how they navigate money behind the scenes—from prenup negotiations and separate finances to the regular money meetings that keep them aligned. They open up about the challenges they've faced as a couple and reveal how, despite Ramit's career, they're just as susceptible to money issues as any other couple on this podcast. This conversation is an honest look at what it really takes to build a true financial partnership—and a marriage that lasts.

Courtney (40) and Ray (41) have spent their entire adult lives in the structure of military life—but with retirement on the horizon, they're about to face a future filled with choices for the first time. For Ray, that means walking away from the rank, routine, and pension he's built for over 20 years and entering a civilian job market he knows little about. For Courtney, it means finishing grad school, becoming a therapist, and finally stepping into her own career after 12 years as a stay-at-home mom. With three kids, a cross-country move coming soon, and dreams of settling down for good, can they stop optimizing for retirement and start asking better questions on building their Rich Life?

Jennifer (37) and Steve (41) have been dating for over five years, but they've never spent more than $100 on a shared purchase. Jennifer is a self-made business owner with a clear vision for the future, while Steve is cautious, financially conservative, and still haunted by a turbulent past that included losing both parents and living out of his car. Despite a solid income and nearly $200,000 in savings, Steve can't shake the fear of financial collapse. Jennifer, meanwhile, is growing resentful. She wants a partner who dreams big and makes bold moves with her—not someone who second-guesses a $10 purchase. Can they confront the past, align on a shared vision for their future, and finally start acting like teammates?

Ramit Das is a formal verification engineer at Intel and an avid Boston Computation Club group member. Ramit and I have been speaking for ages about formal methods, exchanging papers, etc. and today he finally agreed to come give a talk to the group about his area of expertise -- descriptive complexity. This was a really fun talk and an excellent introduction for anyone looking to get their feet wet with complexity theory, some language theory, and even a smidgeon of model theory and underpinnings of abstract interpretation. It was really fun and we can't wait to host another talk by Ramit sometime in the future!
Katie (28) and Robin (35) live together in Tennessee and are planning a wedding. They earn a combined $386K, but don't split bills proportionally—even though he makes three times more. She feels judged, lies about spending, and recently racked up credit card debt after secretly booking a ski trip for his birthday. He's investing $8K/month while she's barely breaking even. As they discuss a prenup and her plan to quit her job for grad school, deep questions arise: Can they truly combine finances? Can she stop people-pleasing? Can he be more generous? Ramit helps them untangle power dynamics, rebalance the split, and build a shared vision for money—before resentment derails their future.

Emma (39) and Dave (39) make $258,000 a year—but they're stuck in a toxic money dynamic. She built a financial plan during maternity leave. He didn't believe her. Now, they're battling over trust, $50K in debt, and whether they can afford a $700K house. With conflicting money roles—she's the anxious planner, he's the passive skeptic—they can't move forward. In this episode, Ramit breaks down their “chaser/avoider” dynamic, the emotional cost of skepticism, and how to finally create a shared vision.

When it comes to terrible 80s music videos, we just can't help ourselves. This week, it's the L.A. Rams performing their response/tribute(?) to the Chicago Bears' incredible “Super Bowl Shuffle” called “Let's Ram It.”
Today's episode takes us to New York City, where I sit down with not two, but three couples live on stage at my Money for Couples event. First, meet Antonio (23) and Devonta (23), a young couple who in their 20s are already ahead of the game—earning money while finishing their degrees, having real conversations about finances, and even purchasing a home together. Next, we meet Pam (38) and Nic (40), who are struggling with a classic money dynamic: one partner earns significantly more and wants to “rescue” the other from financial stress. But as they discover, money alone can't solve deeper issues of self-worth and financial confidence. And finally, for the first time ever on this show, a very special surprise guest joins me on stage.

Frank (29) and Jill (33) are parents of two young kids and are trapped in a vicious cycle of overspending and debt. With fixed costs eating up 107% of their income and $25,000 in credit card debt, they've been repeatedly digging themselves into a hole—and scrambling to climb back out. Frank solves panic with credit card balance transfers. Jill struggles with emotional spending rooted in childhood. Their lack of communication and alignment has created a wedge in their marriage, making it hard to face their financial reality together. Can Frank and Jill cut spending, break old habits, and build a stable financial future for their family—or will they let the weight of their debt pull them down?

What if AI could transform the way we learn, making education more engaging and impactful? Join us as we sit down with Ramit Varma, CEO and co-founder of Breakout Learning, to explore this provocative idea. Discover how his innovative approach is reshaping classroom discussions by addressing common issues like uneven participation and free-riding, all while fostering critical thinking and real-world skills. Through the lens of Breakout Learning, we examine the potential of AI to not only assess students' understanding using Bloom's Taxonomy but also prepare them to articulate and defend their viewpoints.Education is undergoing a seismic shift, and we're here to uncover the trends shaping its future. From the declining student numbers in traditional institutions to the rise of alternative education paths post-pandemic, we discuss how these developments are influencing the learning environment. Delve into the Breakout Learning system, which enhances classroom discussions by equipping students with the confidence and preparation needed to contribute meaningfully. We also touch on the broader implications for K-12 education, envisioning smaller, personalized settings becoming the norm.As we rethink the value of higher education in the face of rising tuition costs, we consider the influence of student reviews and the call for more engaging educational experiences. With insights from Ramit's past in college admissions and test preparation, we question the worth of a college degree today. Looking ahead, we imagine a future where AI supports memory and learning, providing real-time assistance. This episode is a deep dive into how technology might revolutionize not just education, but daily life, offering new ways to learn and remember. Stay tuned as we continue to explore these groundbreaking innovations.Support Our WorkThe Center for Demographics and Policy focuses on research and analysis of global, national, and regional demographic trends and explores policies that might produce favorable demographic results over time.

Carrie works in tech, earning a high salary, but her anxiety about money has her constantly second-guessing their financial situation.

Ramit Sethi, the money and couples' finances expert, is back! This time, he's teaching you how to have life-changing money conversations with your partner so you can build a “rich life” together and even FIRE faster! You may know Ramit from his popular book, I Will Teach You to Be Rich, or his Netflix series How to Get Rich, but today, he's sharing brand new insights, techniques, and lessons from his newest book, Money for Couples! If you're a FIRE freak like us, you may have a partner who's having a tough time getting on the same financial page as you. You see their eyes glaze over as you pull up spreadsheets, talking about compound interest and the savings from switching to non-organic broccoli. We're sure it's well-intentioned, but this could be doing more harm than help. If you want to enjoy getting “rich” with your partner, have more time to do the things you love, and build your wealth as a partnership instead of constantly persuading your other half, this is the episode to catch! Ramit shares his “script” for having crucial money conversations, diagnoses which “money type” you fall into, and gives the steps to escape the “Middle-Class Trap”! In This Episode We Cover How to start a “money conversation” with your partner (EVEN if they aren't into FIRE) The money dates you must have to get on the same page The four “money types” and how knowing yours can strengthen your relationship What the FIRE movement gets wrong about money (it's not all about dollars and cents!) Escaping the “Middle-Class Trap” of not being able to retire EVEN when you're wealthy The most surprising thing that Ramit has learned about money in most relationships Why Ramit rents and has NO INTEREST in buying a house!

The guys start the morning off talking about the horrendous Packer loss to the Bears. That takes the conversation to the winning Bears team, who won the Superbowl and did the "Superbowl Shuffle" video. Maino brings up "Let's Ram It" from the Rams and a listener texts in with "Jump In The Stands" from the Packers. All of the videos are bad but worthy of a watch on YouTube. We're not sure how but the the discussion turns to the price of hotel rooms for the NFL Draft. Hotels and porn shops. That's where it all ended! Can you say "off the rails?" Maino and the Mayor is a part of the Civic Media radio network and airs Monday through Friday from 6-9 am on WGBW in Green Bay and on WISS in Appleton/Oshkosh.

The holidays are coming to a close, the New Year is looming – is it time to get your shit together? We're ending 2024 by welcoming author, entrepreneur, and returning guest Ramit Sethi (@ramit) to the studio for a (seriously) fun conversation about money and relationships. His new book, "Money for Couples", is about how to create your most "Rich Life." It's a touchy subject, but Ramit holds our hand through it all: how to broach the money convo early on, reframing financial conversations through a more romantic lens, what you might not be considering when thinking about engagement rings, and so much more. Plus, we hear from a male listener struggling with gender-based expectations when it comes to paying on dates – why is it so awkward to go Dutch? We wrap things up with a rapid fire game, “Fund It or Forget It.” See you in 2025! Buy Ramit Sethi's book here. Check out Ramit Sethi's 2022 U Up episode on Apple or Spotify.

Send us a textWant access to the book? go to PlatformGrowthBooks.com Chapter nine, structuring your four week bootcamp coaches. Ramit Sethi has an idea for a course that teaches people how to earn an extra 1, 000 a month. Exciting stuff, right? But here's the thing it's 2009, and he doesn't want to spend countless hours creating the course only to hear crickets when he launches.Talk about a waste of time and energy. So what does Ramit do? He decides to sell the course to a small test group before he even creates the full program. Genius move. By doing this, he's able to validate that people actually want what he's offering. And not just that, he can gather valuable feedback from the test group to make the course even better.Fast forward a bit, and Ramit's Earn 1K course is a smashing success. People are raving about it, and the full launch goes off without a hitch. All because he took the time to validate his idea and get feedback from real people before diving in headfirst. And that, my friend, is the power of selling before you create.Implement the Blogging System that 40x My Online Business! Click here to get the training video

In 2019, I read Ramit Sethi's bestseller I Will Teach You to Be Rich for the first time—and it was nothing short of revelatory for me. Since then, Ramit's work has focused more directly on a specific aspect of money management: couples. I've always found navigating this topic to be a challenge, because the most common problems are relational questions, not financial ones. Ahead of his new book release, Money for Couples (out 12/31), Ramit joins me today to discuss how you can make your relationship with money feel amazing, particularly if you're partnered. Transcripts, show notes, production credits, and more can be found at: https://moneywithkatie.com/ramit-relationships. Money with Katie's mission is to be the intersection where the economic, cultural, and political meet the tactical, practical, personal finance education everyone needs.

Meet Ava, 36, and Chris, 38. When it comes to their finances, they do not see eye to eye; and they're stuck in a cycle of overspending. Ava is a worrier who uses a labor-intensive ledger to track expenses, taking tons of time and energy every month (although they're still in debt). Chris doesn't like Ava's approach, but he's sick of fighting about it. They just sold their house, and now they need my help to get on the same page before they make their next move. Can Ava and Chris set aside their finances and create a new way to talk about money together?

Special Replay* What is the difference between a $30,000 question and a $3 question? There's a massive distinction—and not knowing the difference could be costing you valuable time and money. That's exactly what my guest Ramit Sethi says.
