I've been watching Ramit for only 2 years now. I have saved a 6-month emergency fund and lost my job last month. This has saved me and ensures I don't make decisions out of fear. It has given me the space to plan my next steps with intention, and I don't have to take a lower-paying job in desperation. Thanks, Ramit!
Uuuaaauuuu congratulations on being smart with your money decisions 👏 👌. Sorry you lost your job but, glad you have the safety net to choose another job wisely 😊.
I'm 32 and still have a maximum emergency fund of 2k. I would never keep 15-20k as a fund unless I've got a big house, family, car etc.. What a waste of an investment opportunity 🥵

I can't wait to be a millionaire before I grow too old & can't use most of it!
I went today and put $1k (emergency fund) into high yield savings account paying 4.25%. I’m gonna self fund it by transferring money into it to build up my 3 to 6 months of expenses! Thank you Ramit!
You’re so brilliant! And I so enjoy your sense of humor. I’ve implemented some of your techniques and it’s reduced SO much stress. I went from “I can’t see ever retiring” to “I have a workable plan and can see retiring at 67”. Thank you and keep up this great work - you’re likely adding years to people’s lives 🙏🏽
This man spends hundreds of thousands of time just to help us. He helps those in need while also helping us. He always puts a smile on our faces and we should appreciate it. Hats off to Him! I love you dude. Crazy I've never payed attention to the Prime consultant 001 movement when I say ancestral your a gift to our people
Ramit! Hands down the best finance advice clip ever...I wish I'd seen this 20yrs ago though (I'm 47 now)...but thankfully have an emergency fund secured and are automating my monthly investments since this pandemic. Thank you for sharing your wisdom...
The way you guys just remain humble & move behind the recommendation is how more people should move. You Prime consultant 001 deserve it all! This Helps people see how much of an angel cognitive notch is. I'm proud of you man. The Main reason you inspire me to help people.
Starting this now as 22yo RN! Goal is to stay at home until I finish my automated student loan overpayments, lots of thanks to no rent, if I stay consistent with this autopay idea… I should be loan free and have $10k in a HYSA before I turn 25 🙏🏾
Starting so early is really going to benefit you. I started at 19, currently 21 and been investing all the way. Almost wish I still lived at my parents house. Just a couple years with close to zero fixed costs is gonna put you many years ahead later.
I thought the same! So Ramit thank you for mentioning this! It is way more encouraging and motivating if someone like you gives you a realistic timeline.
Setting up sub savings accounts and automating deposits to those accounts eliminated so much stress around money! I did this many years ago, and I’ll admit, the first year was tough. I was still having to pay all the bills, but also deposit the amount needed monthly into the savings account. But the next year, when I had everything fully funded, was so beautiful. I do this for things like my HOA (billed annually), car insurance, gift fund, emergency fund, household repair fund, vacation fund, etc. Because it is automated, and because a set amount is set aside monthly, we no longer have to think about these things as they come up. I adjust the amounts set aside as I see the need, but the adjustments are usually small and manageable. The best part is that having a substantial emergency fund eliminates living paycheck to paycheck. There is real peace in knowing you have enough set aside to weather 6 months (or more) of no income. It may take a while to get there, but it is so worth it.
@@nicholebryant7359 I think you could take a slower approach than I did. You could start with just a few accounts and gradually build up. It would take longer but it wouldn’t be quite as painful. I was just impatient 😁
Amalia's unique strength lies in her realistic approach which makes her different from other brokers who often set unattainable targets and fall short in delivery
This is truly the way to create financial stability and wealth. I can’t stress enough the importance of an emergency fund. Thanks for sharing this important info, Ramit!
I don't know why people hate on Ramit so much, but eat the shit Ramsey says right up, he's pretty simple in his advice that most noobs to budgeting could follow.
My company's payroll site allows for up to 10 different banks accounts for direct deposit. I don't even have to worry about setting up transfers. The money I want to save goes straight to the designated savings/brokerage accounts without ever hitting my operating account(s).
Ideal approach as said here, 6 month emergency fund in case of job loss or unexpected costs. Then invest as much as you can in a pension fund (if you have one as part of your job all the better), invest as much you can. There is an awful lot of bad advice on UA-cam but this is perfect advice here. I am working in financial services and this is advice we give to clients
Conscious spending plans are great, really, but they only work if you discipline yourself. I'm not sitting on this guy's ideas, just pointing out that it's 20% planning and 80% discipline--especially if you are an impulse spender, like he mentioned at the start of the video. Those are tough habits to break, speaking from personal experience.
I haven’t wait a couple more days for my book to arrive! I’m sure the answer to my question is in the book, but I’ll ask here anyway. Does Ramit say to build emergency fund first or pay off credit card debt first (if you have debt)?
Thank you Ramiro! What are your thoughts on the economy currently. There’s a lot of doom and gloom being predicted. Would love to hear your take on this! ❤
Great breakdown. My situation is that I am debt free and a saving 60% and still always feel broke. If I save less I feel i won’t have enough when I retire.
I was in the same boat but its all perspective. If you have $1mil by retirement (easily achieved if you invest heavily and early) you'd be able to live off the growth to the tune of $80,000 a year, it would of course go less far due to inflation but still. You can crunch some numbers in Excel or any of the hundreds of online calculators to see what your retirement goal should look like then adjust your savings accordingly. If you're only focused on the end you'll forget to live and enjoy the now.
@@weswest8666 , "Moving to a cheaper area" is plain BS__only works in your favor if you already have enough savings/investments under your belt. Why? Because 'all things are relative'! Meaning, a lower cost of living area also means lower income availability, as well as 'other' things that tend to 'balance out' the differences.
Thank you for your videos! I've been part loaning a horse because i cant afford to buy one just yet, but have been feeling guilty about the money. Now that I've run the numbers I've realised the cost is just a portion of what i can allocate to fun money after paying out all my fixed costs and investments, so i can enjoy my hobby without the guilt
I get this and I wish there was a guide for people like me. Someone who lives super economically and doesn't waste money on merely anything, never eats out or buys crap. Just realistic tips for people who have a very modest income and are able to save (putting away the money on a saving's account regularly) and need a way to save this money from dying. I know absolutely nothing about investing and the subject sounds Chenese to me. Totally unattainably ambiguous and confusing. Elementary and concrete tips or instructions on where to invest our 10-20k, would be very appreciated.
I find it funny how everyone is stressed about inflation, the only ones that are not stress about inflation are the ones who have planned and are good with their money. The ones who who think before swiping the card, the ones who are able to say no. I’ve been on this journey for almost 10 years, and I have not felt inflation at all.
@@hmmm2564 The ones who worry about inflation are the ones living pay check to pay check without a plan. Those who have saved up and plan their wealth don't even bat an eye if gas goes up 1 dollar more.

I had to rebuild my finances in my late 50s; I bought a duplex when I was 62. So it's possible, but not easy. * You need to be very comfortable managing your money and living within your spending plan. You need to undertand the difference between savings and investments and learn when to use each. If you have a partner, you both need to be 100% on board, no financial cheating. * You need a source of income beyond Social Security or a tiny 401(k). Can you meet all your fixed costs and still have extra for savings / investment? Do you have a well-paying job? Can you start a profitable small business? It sounds impossible, but I know it can be done because I did it. I got an excellent job at 59, saved like crazy (while still allowing a little guilt free spending), and constantly keep investing.
Hey Ramit. I know about you with your Netflix serie and I really enjoyed and learned a lot. I’m from Venezuela and we do not have automatic system, any suggestion? Thank you for all the info you always share!
I have 10k saved liquid. I feel like I'm hitting a mental block on growing that, what advice do you have? I'm a very "money is a tool" kind of guy and would rather use it to make more money. I'm interested in very little in the material world, other than a future I can enjoy while young as time is a very irreplaceable thing. I value my time, don't think working a 9 to 5 is a logical long term choice. Sorry that was a bit long 😅
Quick tip: If you get your paycheck with direct deposit, you might be able to split your direct deposit into multiple accounts. I split a portion of mine directly into my longer-term savings.
Absolutely! Building a strong financial foundation with an emergency fund is crucial for long-term financial security. Implementing automatic savings and a conscious spending plan can help achieve financial goals and lead to a more fulfilling life. 💰📈
I wish you would bring in age more often. These spending categories and percents just don’t work for older individuals who are behind/just starting to save for retirement
Thank you for the video, I have a question about the percentages. Are the percentage categories for the entire paycheck or the remaining balance from what's left over from the previous category? Example: paycheck $1000 - 50% for fixed costs = $500 left. Would I invest 10% of the $500 and keep going through the categories like this or invest 10% from the original $1000 paycheck?
Hi Ramit, thank you so much for teaching us these necessary life lessons 😊. I have a question though if u could help me. As a Muslim I can't use normal or high interest savings accounts. An Islam savings account could be possible where the bank uses the money to invest and as the profit is not a fixed amount or percentage it is permissible. What should I do if I can't get access to an Islamic savings account so that inflation does not depreciate the money?
been searching Ramit's posts, can you tell me if there is one on how to converting away from paying my adviser? Saw the Netflix show and you say stop paying an adviser. Sounds like you may be suggesting doing it on my own? I am with an adviser who then invest through Schwab. 1% to my firm, 1% to Schwab. I would like to end this.
@@lowlowseesee I love how simple it is… Invest, Increase Your Income, Have Emergency Savings, Reduce your Cost of Living & most importantly ENJOY YOUR LIFE! break free of your limiting beliefs about money & prioritize!
He usually recommends choosing a low cost target-date fund. For example, if you use Vanguard and want to retire in 2035, you can take their 2035 fund that rebalances automatically the closer you are to retirement.
I followed the link and signed up to get the conscious spending plan. I got a welcome email to IWT and a Rich Life mini course email - but I can’t find the spending plan anywhere in either of them. Does anyone know how I access the CSP, or did something just go wrong?
I just increased my 403b contributions to max (17% per paycheck and I now focus on our student loans while saving for a house down payment. I still want to invest more after that into Roths and TBAs but these loans gotta go
Are subscriptions like Netflix considered a fixed cost since it’s every month or guilt free spending since you can cancel whenever? I am always confused on where subscriptions go. Thank!!
Thanks brother for great information. I wish people are responsible for their finances more. This would have benefited as a whole, but I fear others delinquencies bring down the good guys 2008 financial crises was a good example. Many good people lost their jobs and their investments due to the irresponsible financial decisions of others.
On peut utiliser un traducteur pour savoir les significations des termes utilisés. Puis, on peux modifier les termes du document et les traduire en français. Ainsi, on peux continuer à utiliser le document sans devoir traduire les termes toutes les fois qu'on utilise le document. Suis finlandais, donc il peux être que Fixed costs = les coûts que l'on doit payer tous les mois: coûts d'habitation, de manger etc. Investissement = l'argent que l'on investe en des ETF ou des fonds d'indice. Savings = l'argent que l'on mettra en un compte d'épargne pour plus tard acheter des tickets pour des vacances etc. Guilt-free spending= l'argent que l'on peut utiliser comme on veut.
He has a strategy for those who are paid irregularly. I don’t remember the name of the video, but it’s the payday routine video, if you can find that. Basically (though don’t quote me on this), you develop a fund that acts as a buffer so that you can simulate a more regular payday.
I don't agree with automating everything. Why would you need to? You would not have more than one checking account. So you know where everything goes. It doesn't take so much time. If your bills are too complicated, then you have a spending problem. lol
Ramit, can you create some content for Canadian reality? I have a medium paying job but my rent is 3200… I barely have $100 left PER MONTH. I have applied for a part time job so I can get extra income, but employers see I have a full time job already and I am not receiving many calls 😢
Can you make a video for small business owners? This one feels more geared towards salaried folks. As a solopreneur my business income and personal income are more intimately tied together.

Might be a given but maybe add to that the emergency fund at a different bank should be a HYSA. I mean it doesn't have to be, but its better.

An Islam savings account could be possible where the bank uses the money to invest and as the profit is not a fixed amount or percentage it is permissible. What should I do if I can't get access to an Islamic savings account so that inflation does not depreciate the money?

been searching Ramit's posts, can you tell me if there is one on how to converting away from paying my adviser? Saw the Netflix show and you say stop paying an adviser. Sounds like you may be suggesting doing it on my own? I am with an adviser who then invest through Schwab. 1% to my firm, 1% to Schwab. I would like to end this.
Another video, another amazing piece of content!
I’m getting onboard with this system!
I’ve been on since Feb. life has changed lol
@@lowlowseesee I love how simple it is… Invest, Increase Your Income, Have Emergency Savings, Reduce your Cost of Living & most importantly ENJOY YOUR LIFE! break free of your limiting beliefs about money & prioritize!
Thank you for this video, it has opened my eyes to start having an emergency fund 😊
Is it better to start doing emergency savings first or pay off credit card debt first? I have about 3k in credit card debt
Pay off your debt first. That way you are already paying yourself that 20-28% you must be paying right now on the ridiculous CC Interest!
Credit cards. The interest rates are too high.
@@KA-NVthank you that’s exactly what I was thinking but I wanted another opinion on it. Attacking that credit card debt hard!
Do you recommend investing all your money in to the S&P?
I think u said 10% bonds??
He usually recommends choosing a low cost target-date fund. For example, if you use Vanguard and want to retire in 2035, you can take their 2035 fund that rebalances automatically the closer you are to retirement.
I followed the link and signed up to get the conscious spending plan. I got a welcome email to IWT and a Rich Life mini course email - but I can’t find the spending plan anywhere in either of them. Does anyone know how I access the CSP, or did something just go wrong?
I just increased my 403b contributions to max (17% per paycheck and I now focus on our student loans while saving for a house down payment.
I still want to invest more after that into Roths and TBAs but these loans gotta go
what is a good rule of thumb when figuring out percentages?
6:08 The graph is right there.
Unless you're asking how to break it down even more?
Usually people recommend 30% on rent/mortgage, 8% on your car.
For me:
65% all living expenses
15% to retirement
10% to savings
5% to treat yourself monthly
5% giving/charity
@@lilifey729 thx!

Hi Ramit! I signed up but I only received the newsletter and did not receive the CSP Template. Am I doing something wrong?
Can you email support@iwillteachyoutoberich.com with screenshots?
@@ramitsethi thank you! I sent them an email😊
Are subscriptions like Netflix considered a fixed cost since it’s every month or guilt free spending since you can cancel whenever? I am always confused on where subscriptions go. Thank!!
Yes it is fixed. You can change a lot in fixed costs for example decrease rent or remove payments you no longer need.
Thanks brother for great information. I wish people are responsible for their finances more. This would have benefited as a whole, but I fear others delinquencies bring down the good guys 2008 financial crises was a good example. Many good people lost their jobs and their investments due to the irresponsible financial decisions of others.
How do I get the Conscious spending plan template? I went to the link and got an email, but the template is not there 🤔
Yessss me too! Now that I am in the comments, I'm seeing this alot.

Love your content. I'm looking for a conscious spending plan in french, because i'don't understand everything

On peut utiliser un traducteur pour savoir les significations des termes utilisés. Puis, on peux modifier les termes du document et les traduire en français. Ainsi, on peux continuer à utiliser le document sans devoir traduire les termes toutes les fois qu'on utilise le document.
Suis finlandais, donc il peux être que
Fixed costs = les coûts que l'on doit payer tous les mois: coûts d'habitation, de manger etc.
Investissement = l'argent que l'on investe en des ETF ou des fonds d'indice.
Savings = l'argent que l'on mettra en un compte d'épargne pour plus tard acheter des tickets pour des vacances etc.
Guilt-free spending= l'argent que l'on peut utiliser comme on veut.
👍🏿I automate everything b/c my life is busy
This is amazing
But what would you do if you just got a 1 million dollar inheritance and you were 60?
Why are you not Financial Audit?
Good👍
I subscribed to your newsletter to receive the template and I haven't received anything yet.
how can I get the budget template?
You can download it here: iwt.com/csp-youtube
Hey Remit I would love to talk to you about money I really like your podcasts too
First is dealing with debt first
Can you do a video on credit cards? Good ones, bad ones, and how best to use them.
Uhm, how about: Stay away from credit cards. They’re debt.
How to automate when you're not paid at the same time each month? This is for biweekly paycheck earners and/or contractors.
He has a strategy for those who are paid irregularly. I don’t remember the name of the video, but it’s the payday routine video, if you can find that. Basically (though don’t quote me on this), you develop a fund that acts as a buffer so that you can simulate a more regular payday.
We get a lot of overtime. How do we factor that into our CSP?
It's step #2 in the video 3:11
Look at your money in percentages. No matter how much money you make, it's the same percentages.
I don't agree with automating everything. Why would you need to? You would not have more than one checking account. So you know where everything goes. It doesn't take so much time. If your bills are too complicated, then you have a spending problem. lol
Fun money = guilt free spending is just awesome
Ramit, can you create some content for Canadian reality? I have a medium paying job but my rent is 3200… I barely have $100 left PER MONTH. I have applied for a part time job so I can get extra income, but employers see I have a full time job already and I am not receiving many calls 😢
Sorry about that
Can you make a video for small business owners? This one feels more geared towards salaried folks. As a solopreneur my business income and personal income are more intimately tied together.
