Short excerpt from a YouTube episode (posted Jan 16, 2023) featuring Ramit Sethi and a guest discussing feelings about wedding expenses. The guest says they do not feel bad about the wedding when they avoid thinking about the money and distinguishes the wedding cost from related events (bachelor party, ring); the conversation centers on emotions tied to spending and honesty about costs.

Well, I don't want to feel bad about our wedding.
Do you?
Today? Yeah. Two months ago. No, when it happened, I didn't. When I don't think about the money, I don't feel bad at all. I think that's part of the reason, too. I might have, like. No, it was less or. Don't. Don't include those things. You know, don't include the. The parties and stuff. You know, the bachelor party in the ring and all that. Like, the wedding itself was only this much.
But who are you when you say it that way?
Me?
You know, part of living a rich life is being honest. Honest with yourself, honest with the people around you. And if you can't be honest with yourself and you're bullshitting yourself, it's impossible to get ahead.
