Ramit Sethi

You wanted to make an extra 40K.

You actually make 50K more than you thought.

Do you feel any better?

And she goes...

No, because the way you feel about money is highly uncorrelated to the amount in your bank account.

So worriers worry.

That's how they relate.

They can't imagine any other relationship to money.

And my job is to help them realize, first of all, let's actually look at your numbers.

Let me help you understand what it means.

Do you have enough?

What does it take to have enough?

And then can you start to develop a new relationship with money?

It's almost like a new taste bud.

I'm never going to tell you to eat tomatoes if you hate tomatoes, but I am going to teach you maybe you like okra and we can develop a new taste for that.

Finally, the dreamer.

The dreamer believes that success is one deal away.

If we just close this deal, if I just get this thing, and they tend to fall into get-rich-quick schemes.

Lots of scams, MLMs, a lot of crypto shitcoin scams, like all this BS.

But they are extremely resistant to calm, low-cost, long-term investing.
