Ramit Sethi and his wife Cass describe a fight about combining finances and when to have money conversations. Ramit admits he violated his own advice from chapter nine of his book by not talking early enough.
Like, I never would have thought about.
This in my seat today. Bye. Wedding already.
Oh, my God. Cass underplays how frustrated she was. You were really frustrated.
Oh, it pisses me off. It really makes my blood boil.
I remember that moment where, like, the blood leaves your face, and I realized, like, I violated my own rule from chapter nine of my own book where I say, talk about it early, and it was true.
I think of the things that we've gone through in our marriage, and it's been really tough sometimes.
It was pretty hard. It was hard because I'm like, why are we not combining our finances?
I wanted to do it on my own to prove to myself and to prove to Ramit like, I'm fine on my own.
Are there any recurring themes to things that you guys regularly disagree on when it comes to money?
Lighten up on the rules.
Ooh, okay. That's never gonna happen.
Times when we have had fights, and then the next morning we have a money meeting. I'm like, oh, this money meeting.
We have our own challenges. Years into getting married, and it's hard.
We've been joking over the last few days about what your worst nightmare would be on this podcast.
Yeah. What is it? Oh, is it happening right now? Oh, my God.
Welcome to the Money for Couples show. I am your host today, Julie Nguyen, and today's guests are Ramit and Cass.
Let's go.
I'm way more nervous about this than any podcast I've ever done.
