Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Ramit Sethi. The clip captures a guest expressing guilt and discomfort about the total cost of their wedding, noting they feel fine when not thinking about the money and that they mentally minimize what counts as the wedding cost (excluding parties, rings, bachelor party). Ramit Sethi prompts clarification about who feels guilty.
Well, I don't want to feel bad about our wedding.
Do you?
Today? Yeah, I. Two months ago. No, when it happened, I didn't. Like, when I don't think about the money, I don't feel bad at all. I think that's part of the reason, too, why in my head, I'm 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 feeling 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.
