    You can be #rich.
    Don’t roll your eyes. This is not what you think.
    This episode today is so digestible. So counterintuitive. And one of the most enlightening conversations I’ve had with anybody.
    Most of us have been thinking about money all wrong.
    It turns out that the amount of money you have in the bank (or don’t) is only a small part of your relationship with money.
    Ramit Sethi (@ramitsethi) is a NYT best-selling author and #finance advisor with a brand new, top-ranked Netflix series called How to Be Rich, where he coaches real people about how to take control of their financial lives.
    He says you’ve been thinking about #money all wrong.
    If you were told that you need to create a budget and stick to it, Ramit calls BS.
    Instead, you’ll learn about your money dials, the only four numbers that matter, the 85% Rule, why the 10 Year Bucket List is so important, the one thing you should NEVER say about yourself, and best of all, what it means to live a Rich Life.
    Today’s episode is going to change the way you SEE money, because when you see it differently, you’ll treat it differently.
    And if you’re looking for another zero-cost resource to help you change your mindset around finances, sign up for my free training called Take Control with Mel Robbins - www.melrobbins.com/takecontrol
    And if you're ready to start living your rich life with more confidence and no regrets, sign up for my exclusive signature course, Launch with Mel Robbins. Learn all the exciting details here: www.melrobbins.com/launch

    In this episode, you'll learn:
    00:00 Intro
    07:44 Just like me, Ramit has his own story of big-time money loss.
    11:20 Assignment #1: Think back to your 20’s and ask yourself this question.
    14:17 How do your childhood influences impact your beliefs around money?
    22:23 If you want to live a rich life, you need to do two things.
    26:23 Wondering what most people love to spend money on?
    30:32 Why is it important to come up with a fun vision around money?
    34:38 How do you define your “rich life”?
    37:36 I think everyone listening needs to do this fun activity.
    41:02 Especially if life is hard right now, THIS is what you have to do..
    45:27 Here’s how you step your way closer to your rich life.
    47:00 How can you feel in control of something if you don’t understand the details?
    50:18 The four numbers everyone should know to stop feeling overwhelmed by money.
    58:12 NEVER say this about yourself because it will create your reality.
    1:06:30 The two areas most people spend too much money on.
    1:10:37 Ramit lays down the bottom line about changing your mindset around money.
    1:12:23 Here’s your new money mantra to play on repeat.

    Mel, I think it would be helpful if you include a picture of the person you're interviewing in your thumbnail. For one, it visually differentiates each video a bit more. Secondly, on the off-chance that someone doesn't follow you but they follow your guest, you've got a new listener/subscriber when your video pops up in their feed. It would also help to put their name in the title. All this to say, I really appreciate & enJOY your podcast!

    I can tell you that psychology of money is so real. When I was little our neighbor put in a beautiful pool and frequent outdoor parties that we did not attend, so I asked my mom if we could put a pool in. She told me the only reason they put that pool in was because her dad died and the life insurance paid for it. Not sure whether that was the truth or not, but ever since my subconscious told me that to have a rich life, unfortunate events needed to happen. Later, as an adult when my own father died the inherentance was used for a down payment. Subconsciously I felt so undeserving of that house that circumstances caused me to foreclose within 5 years. My whole life has been one financial struggle after another. I am grateful for this podcast episode.

      Most people don't understand the power of compound interest or are just impatient. However, I think it's better for the average person to invest in the S&P 500 and wait, which is reliable, albeit extremely long: many years, or just hire an investment advisor and accelerate wealth accumulation. Most people underestimate the power of the latter.

    When I was a child, I remember going to the beach and most of people in the restaurants were Americans. Me and my family didn’t have money, so while I was eating my watermelon y visualized myself going to those restaurants. Few years ago I went back and I invited my best friend to eat at a nice restaurant closed to the beach. I told him, you can order whatever you want ( it’s my treat). I ended up drank and singing with the musicians. My friend said “ the money they you spent on a dinner, that’s the money I make in a whole week of work. I felt great being able to invite my friend:)).

    Mel….I really loved this particular topic and the opportunity to DREAM again! My only complaint if I can be honest, is that using the “F” word several times during the interview wasn’t necessary to make the points you were expanding upon.
    I understand that it may not be a big deal to some, but I play your podcasts as I get ready for the day and I have children in my home that are listening in. I think you are an amazing and courageous woman and I feel that you don’t need to use those kinds of words to make an impact.
    Keeping it clean allows me to relax and enjoy having other family members and friends listen in as well.❤
    Happy New Year!

    THIS IS GOLD! They should be teaching this at schools. I have had a very bad relationship with money where I spend without a budget, without looking at my finances... and sometimes landed in debt. This has made me feel more at ease and comfortable when dealing with money, learning to divide it into the 4 steps makes it less scary, more tangible and gives me more control over my life instead of going at it blindly.

    Good morning Mel…you once said on one of your podcasts that you read every comment, so I wanted to share this helpful concept as you continually strive to reach the vast in this world…
    I believe you, and you bringing variety to help people in many areas of their life. And many times I would love to share your content, but what I have found personally is your choice of words can be offensive to some, and because you’re audience brings all kinds , it would be so helpful if you stayed neutral with some of your language. I am a believer in Christ and I can’t forward this information to other believers because they would be hugely offended by your “F” word often.
    Your reaction may be it’s just language, Debbie… But I believe that words are powerful, and they have double meaning and we have to realize that our goal is to help everyone not just people who will not be offended by your language. I speak from the heart, and from a nonjudgmental Place but from one entrepreneur to another the saying, is you get more with honey than you do vinegar. From the bottom of my heart, I urge you to take that word out of your vocabulary when you’re talking to the world and you will touch more lives. ❤️🙏

I paraphrased so don't quote me, but looking forward to working with the tools he shared.
