I Will Teach You To Be Rich is a practical approach delivered with a non-judgemental style based on the four pillars of personal finance - banking, saving, budgeting and investing - and the wealth-building ideas of personal entrepreneurship.Witty, entertaining, wise and practical, Ramit Sethi explains how to automate your money flow - i.e. earn while sleeping, why your new best friend should be the taxman and how to beat banks and credit cards at the fee game. How do you negotiate a raise? How can you manage student loans? And can you still enjoy your daily latte and buy that iPhone? Sethi's 6-week plan shows you how:Week 1: Optimise your credit cards and learn exactly what to say to get fees waived
Week 2: Set up no-fee, high-interest bank accounts that won't cost you
Week 3: Open investment accounts even with a small amount of money
Week 4: Figure out how much you're spending. And then learn how to make your money go where you want it to go!
Week 5: Automate your new infrastructure to make your accounts play nicely together
Week 6: Why investing isn't the same as picking stocks - how to get the most out of the market with very little work.

“I will teach you to be slightly less poor”

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 December 2018

At best, this should be called “I will teach you to be slightly less poor”. The advice was basic, and more about conserving income than building real wealth

Most motivating finance book I've ever read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2019

Verified Purchase

I read Ramit's original version of this book in 2009 and it prompted me to start a pension. 10 years on, he again prompted me to get a credit card for the first time in 7 years to build some credit history, to switch to a bank account with no charges and to move my pension fund (which I only have thanks to his original book) to another company with lower fees. In short, his advice has actually gotten me to act, which is rare even though I've read a lot of other finance books in my time! If you follow this six week plan with actionable steps, you WILL get results. Try it.

This book is changing my life!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2018

Verified Purchase

This book is life changing for me. I have read many financial books / spiritual books on money and abundance which I loved and helped me. But they didn't give any practical advice. I am only on chapter 3 and it is already turning my life around. My financial affairs were a little messy to be honest. This book gave me structure and focus I needed to get things sorted. Already i have saved around £500 by taking action - and that's not including optimising accounts and investments.

Some of the information is outdated - the book was released in 2010, I did pass over some sections and it may be what you know already however- if you need a little kick, structure and refocus I would recommend this book. Look forward to reading the rest!

Many points to reflect on

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 February 2020

Verified Purchase

As mentioned in the title, Ramit offers a lot of points on which each one of us should reflect. What does it mean to be rich for you? This is the main question. I am really thourogh when it comes to analyse my finances and overall expenses. Ramit offered me a new view which I am trying to incorporate. I will try to apply the suggestions I consider best aligned with my view to my daily life. This book does not offer a solution, but it may help many people finding a way to deal with all the money-related problems and questions they may have.

Practical and simple

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 July 2017

Verified Purchase

This is the first personal finance book I have ever read, and it proved to be exactly what I have been looking for; a logical, clearly explain step by step guide to managing money. Sethi covers the high leverage stuff, urging people to forget about saving money on lattes and focus on automated systems. The key messages are to automate, then “Spend extravagantly on the things you love, and cut costs mercilessly on the things you don’t.”

I think this book is great for any one. I especially liked it due to do much information packed that I did not know it existed.
I re-read this book twice to understand the stick market and setting up accounts and so forth.
I recommend this book for all beginners and advanced investors.

Great author & book - Beware its the 2010 version!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 February 2020

Verified Purchase

The book is great, get it for you and if you have children, get them to read it at 25. But wait. Not now. Wait until the 2019 UK version comes out, since this one is a bit outdated. His examples are old but his advice is timeless.

Invaluable, step-by-step guide for young adults and finance newbs

Reviewed in Canada on 29 April 2015

Verified Purchase

Accessible language, humor, and a great structure for financial newbies. I was a 21 y/o university student with a little credit card and a checking account, nothing else. I now have investments, high-interest savings accounts, an automatic system that makes saving and budgeting easy, a credit card I get awesome rewards on and never pay interest on, and a 5 year plan to save for a house and travel. This book is so valuable if you're stuck at the entry-way of personal finances with no one to help you! If you already know about IRAs, 401(k)s, debt interest vs capital gain interest, this book will probably not help you too much.

As an aside, I am Canadian, and with a little googling I was able to find parallels for everything Ramit suggested. IRAs = TFSA, 401(k) = RRSP. Kind of. They all have their own rules, so do your own research. Takes about 10 min to translate everything you've learned into Canadian finances. Thank you Ramit. :)

Best for beginners and people with financial assets in the U.S.

Reviewed in Canada on 23 May 2016

Verified Purchase

I am a fan of Ramit's blogs. However some of the money saving tips dont apply to Canadians/Ontarians ie negotiating car insurance. We also have different chequing accounts here and no bricks and mortar chequing account that pays interest with no fees - even with negotiation, closest you can come is online banks.

This is a good starter book for people looking to begin handling their finances in a more productive way and a decent price, you will get tips that will give you a return on investment.

For me, a long time follower of Ramit's blog it did not prove to be worthwhile. I think it would be most useful to people in the U.S. and people who are just beginning their research into personal finance.

It might not be the most apt book for the Indian context but there are some gems here and there. At the least it makes you think about personal finances and makes you want to get off your bum and do something about your money.

Non ho apprezzato il suo modo di scrivere. Fino agli investimenti é veramente perfetto: ti dà moltissime idee su come gestire al meglio i tuoi risparmi,come creare un infrastruttura finanziaria automatizzata, spingendo a crearti fondi risparmio e fondi pensione. Veramente ben fatto ho trovato ottimi consigli. Poi però sugli investimenti mi ha dato fastidio la sua semplicità e supponenza nel trattare gli argomenti. Non é un libro che fa per te se cerchi un modo per investire ( sia per la scarnezza nel libro sia perché si riferisce spesso al mercato UK). Se vuoi gestire meglio i tuoi risparmi, é un ottimo libro
