Ramit Sethi found $13,500 a month in spending he didn't notice. Making more money won't fix it if you don't know where your money goes. The real problem is your relationship with money, not your income.
Chapters
We discovered $13,500 a month in unconscious spending they didn't account for. Now, listen, I know everybody right now is rolling their eyes. Oh, my God. I can't believe people spending 13. I'd love to have 13. Listen, I'm sharing this example because I want you to understand that if you earn an extra 5,000, 10,000, $50,000, you are going to have some of the same problems that you have today. Just earning more money is not going to solve the problem unless you really tackle this step that we're talking about right now. Your feelings about money are highly uncorrelated with the amount in your bank account.
