A short YouTube monologue by Ramit Sethi (uploaded Jan 21, 2023) in which the speaker describes ‘competing with himself’ over small money decisions and regrets. He gives concrete anecdotes — missing a gas station that sold fuel $0.12 cheaper per gallon, and accidentally buying the fifth season of Yellowstone (HD vs already owned on YouTube TV) for about $40 — to illustrate frustration and how minor spending mistakes cause disproportionate emotional reaction.

I'm always, like, competing with myself. We got gas. I filled up the car the other day. I was so pissed at myself. A couple miles down the road, I got it. I could have gotten it for $0.12 less per gallon. Tommy, this cannot be really happening right now. Another incident. Come on. We're getting Yellowstone, okay? We want to get the fifth season of Yellowstone, okay? It's a good show. I went ahead and bought it. You bought the HD version? No. Hell, no. Okay? I never do that either. That's a waste of money. I'm never going to. And then I find out my son said, hey, Daddy O. We got. You already have it on YouTube TV. Why didn't you ask me? I'm pissed at myself. For $40, it's not even worth it. How come he didn't say something? Or how come I didn't check it out? I thought I did. It's not funny. How much sleep did you lose over that one, Tommy?
