The best things said about it
My parents were reading a book on personal finance. It was I Will Teach You to Be Rich which is about practical money management.
He's still talking about I Will Teach You to Be Rich. He wrote that book in 2009, I think. It's 15 years ago.
And then when I think about a few years ago I read rit's book and he's like buy the effing coffee you know like think about what you value and that's way more important.
So I read this book about 15 years ago by this guy Ramit Sethi, he's got a website I Will Teach You to Be Rich and he's got a book called I Will Teach You to Be Rich.
We have a book with over a million copies sold right you could just as well say it's a book business because we sell more books we sell courses.

Why people recommend it
I Will Teach You to Be Rich by Ramit Sethi is a comprehensive personal finance guide that emphasizes practical money management, conscious spending, and building a wealthy life through intentional choices rather than extreme frugality. On ChooseFI, young guest Rishi Vamdatt shared that his parents were reading the book when he was six years old, sparking his lifelong interest in personal finance, while Ginger noted that Sethi's advice encouraged her to spend money on things she genuinely valued instead of sweating small expenses. Andrew Wilkinson and other hosts on My First Million reflected on reading the book years prior, highlighting Sethi's core philosophy that true wealth comes from focusing on major financial decisions rather than agonizing over daily lattes. Sethi himself appeared on the podcast to discuss the book's origins, explaining how he developed his system while helping fellow students navigate personal finance at Stanford. Additionally, Paul Millerd praised Sethi for remaining actively engaged with his foundational message fifteen years after the book's initial publication.
