220. How to Talk About Money with Your Partner with Ramit Sethi
About this episode
Talking about money with your partner can feel awkward, overwhelming, or straight-up terrifying—but avoiding it? That’s a guaranteed way to create resentment, stress, and financial chaos. Nearly half of couples argue about money, and 36% say it's one of the biggest sources of stress in their relationships. So, how do we break the cycle and actually have productive, meaningful conversations about money with the person we love?
Enter Ramit Sethi—money expert, bestselling author of I Will Teach You to Be Rich, and the host of Netflix’s How to Get Rich. He’s here to help us navigate the messy, emotional, and psychological side of managing finances as a couple. We’re getting real about why money fights happen, the invisible scripts we bring into relationships, and how to align financially even when you and your partner have wildly different incomes, spending habits, or financial values. Plus, we’re tackling one of the biggest taboos—what happens when a woman earns more than her male partner. If you want to stop arguing about money and start feeling financially aligned, this episode is a must-listen.
