I Will Teach You to Be Rich, Second Edition: No Guilt. No Excuses. No Bs. Just a 6-Week Program That Works by Ramit Sethi
2.0
I had a sort of love hate relationship with this book while reading it. On the one hand the advice is good for people like myself that grew up without money and know little about finance, on the other hand his writing style and fratboy like jokes and quips really made it hard for me to enjoy.
I find a lot of what he mentioned could have been boiled down and left in a few paragraphs rather than continuing on for many pages before essentially just repeating the same advice without truly going deeper.
Something I did enjoy though was his more casual demeanor to finances and saving. Not focusing on saving every penny, cutting back on everything, and looking constantly at spreadsheets, but instead having a plan with a simple to follow formula and automated processes to do all the heavy lifting.
Some of the advice I read I hope to use to help my parents through their debt. There is definitely value here, even if the style and commentary was often very off-putting.
