About this episode
Ed Elson brings on Ramit Sethi and Ben Carlson to dig into a striking Goldman Sachs finding: 40% of households earning over $500K say they're living paycheck to paycheck. They debate what the stat reveals about American financial anxiety and lifestyle inflation, why housing is the real crisis, and what it actually takes to feel financially secure.
Ramit Sethi is the Host of Netflix’s “How to Get Rich,” bestselling author, & host of the Money For Couples podcast. Ben Carlson is the Director of Institutional Asset Management at Ritholtz Wealth and author of the forthcoming book, “Risk & Reward”.
