Money For Couples with Ramit Sethi

Ramit Sethi

Money For Couples with Ramit Sethi goes far beyond the typical advice of cutting back on lattes or tracking every single penny. Instead, it offers a raw, unfiltered look at the complex intersection of love, psychology, and cold hard math. In each episode, Ramit sits down with real couples who are struggling to reconcile their finances, uncovering why even high earners often feel broke and why seemingly practical disagreements are usually rooted in deeper issues like cultural differences, past trauma, or unspoken fears. Whether he is coaching a couple worth four million dollars who cannot bring themselves to spend, or partners drowning in debt because they refuse to look at their bank statements, Ramit challenges the stories we tell ourselves about money. You will hear couples confront painful realities, from the dysfunction of separate banking systems to the cycle of emotional spending and the avoidance of financial transparency. The show format centers on the Conscious Spending Plan, but the real transformation happens when partners stop acting as adversaries and start building a unified team. This podcast is essential listening if you want to understand why your partner manages money differently than you do and how to move past the blame game. By stripping away the shame and secrecy surrounding family finances, Ramit helps couples design their own version of a Rich Life—one built on honest communication, structural clarity, and shared goals. It is a powerful masterclass in turning marital tension into long-term financial freedom.
