Ramit Sethi talks with someone who earns well but never feels secure with money. They've gotten $50k and $100k raises, even built multimillion-dollar wealth, and still feel like it's not enough. The anxiety doesn't budge no matter how much arrives.
I'm proud of what I have achieved in terms of my own career success, but I never feel good about money because I always think we need more buffer.
If you make an extra 50k, maybe you'll feel good then.
I won't. No, No. I absolutely won't.
I told you that.
You did.
That's so crazy, though. What if you make 100k, would you feel better then? No.
No, because I'll never feel like it's enough. I'll continue to worry. If I was richer, I'd be like the folks you have on the podcast who have, like, 5 million in, and I would still be crazy.
I could literally calculate the exact month that you're gonna have that much. And you're right. You will come back on the show and feel exactly that way. It's a guarantee. Unless we make some changes.
