    235. "Can we pay off this debt faster?" (Part 2)
    Nov 18 2025
    Imani (52) and Michael (65) return for Part 2—and this time, Ramit pushes them to find out how fast they can turn things around. After years of miscommunication, mounting debt, and emotional exhaustion, they’ve finally started tackling their finances together. But when Facet’s retirement scenarios reveal how long their money will really last, they’re forced to confront new tradeoffs: spend less now, retire later, or change their lifestyle entirely. Can Michael step up and lead? Can Imani release control and start dreaming again? Or will their old habits slow their progress before it even begins? A special thanks to Facet for sponsoring this episode. Right now, Facet is waiving their $250 enrollment fee for new annual members. And if you invest and maintain $5,000 within your first 90 days, they’ll add $300 to your brokerage account. Head to facet.com/ramit to see which membership—Core, Plus, or Complete—is right for you. (Ramit is not a member of Facet, and he has an incentive to endorse Facet as he has an ongoing fee based contract for cash compensation based on this endorsement. All opinions are his own and not a guarantee of a similar outcome.) In this episode we uncover: • Why Michael finally decides to take ownership after decades of financial avoidance • The moment Imani says she’s “tapping out” if things don’t change • How they discover Michael’s electronics obsession is more than clutter—it’s avoidance • The shocking realization that their debt payments eat up one-third of their take-home pay • How selling off $7,000 of electronics became the turning point for their marriage • What it felt like for Imani to finally let go of control and let Michael lead • Why teamwork and a clear plan helped them pay off $6,000 in just four weeks • How both partners confront what “enough” really means • The couple’s new shared dream: retiring abroad and living a simpler, freer life Chapters: (00:00:03) “I’m angry at Michael, I’m angry at myself” (00:18:03) “I’ve lost the ability to dream” (00:34:45) “It’s gotta work” (00:40:17) “I got the fever to start selling stuff” (00:51:47) “I could see the cloud starting to separate” (01:06:29) “I feel excited, inspired, energized” (01:22:39) Where are they now?

    234. "We have $100k+ in debt. Will we ever enjoy life?" (Part 1)
    Nov 11 2025
    Imani (52) and Michael (65) have been married for 24 years—and they’re drowning in nearly $126,000 of consumer debt despite earning over $250,000 a year. Imani, a disciplined attorney who tracks every dollar, feels trapped by Michael’s unchecked spending on electronics and his laid-back approach to money. She dreams of travel, freedom, and a life that finally feels generous, while he insists everything’s fine as long as the bills get paid. With resentment growing and Imani nearing her breaking point, Ramit challenges them to face the truth: Can they pay off their debt, rebuild trust, and start enjoying life again—or are they too stuck in old patterns to change? A special thanks to Facet for sponsoring this episode. Right now, Facet is waiving their $250 enrollment fee for new annual members. And if you invest and maintain $5,000 within your first 90 days, they’ll add $300 to your brokerage account. Head to facet.com/ramit to see which membership—Core, Plus, or Complete—is right for you.

All opinions are his own and not a guarantee of a similar outcome.) In this episode we uncover: • Why Imani regrets combining finances after 20 years of marriage • How Michael’s promise to “put the money back” reveals a lifetime of avoidance • The stark contrast between Michael’s military discipline and total lack of structure at home • What happens when one partner outgrows the other in ambition, discipline, and self-development • Why Imani admits she’s embarrassed to be in massive debt at her age • Michael’s habit of buying cars and electronics to celebrate milestones • How their $268,000 income still leaves them feeling broke, anxious, and behind • Why Imani clings to control and spreadsheets while Michael tunes out completely • How both partners confront the question: Can they rebuild trust and create structure before it’s too late? Chapters: (00:00:00) “Did you go to Best Buy again?” (00:17:34) “I don’t think I’ve ever planned anything in my life” (00:24:43) “Every time we had a kid, he bought a car” (00:36:48) Ramit breaks down their numbers (00:44:33) “We make way too much to be this stressed about money” (00:56:21) “I don’t want to do life by myself” (01:10:51) Can a couple this far apart still find common ground?

  • 233. “I save while she spends on vacations. Is this fair?”

    233. “I save while she spends on vacations. Is this fair?”
    Nov 4 2025
    Samantha (36) and Kevin (41) have been together for seven years, but their financial lives couldn’t look more different. He’s a high earner with $800,000 in investments and a paid-down mortgage. She’s still carrying student loans, car payments, and lingering shame about being “behind.” While Kevin saves methodically for the future, Samantha prefers to spend on experiences—especially travel—leaving him questioning whether their financial priorities will ever align. Beneath the surface, neither of them has truly learned how to talk about money without shutting down. Can Ramit help them move from avoidance and resentment to shared goals and real plans for the future? A special thanks to Ultraspeaking, who worked with Samantha and Kevin to help them communicate more effectively as a couple. Ultraspeaking is the fastest and most effective way to become a great communicator. Learn more here. In this episode we uncover: • Why Samantha believes she’ll never be “financially good enough” for Kevin • How their shared avoidant tendencies have allowed them to avoid financial planning for years • How their unspoken expectations around “fairness” create tension • Samantha’s logic for not paying rent or mortgage • How Kevin’s quiet resentment built up after Samantha didn’t use the housing savings to pay down debt • The real cost of their “guilt-free” spending, including $15,000/year on vacations • Why Samantha still feels broke, despite earning $148,000 a year • Samantha’s fears about not meeting Kevin’s expectations in retirement • The stark contrast between their savings: Samantha has one month of expenses, Kevin has six • How Samantha inherited a “spend it if you have it” mindset from her parents • Kevin’s fear of loss from divorce and why he avoids fully committing financially • The role of therapy in helping them rebuild communication and trust Chapters: (00:00:00) “I’ll never be financially good enough for Kevin” (00:13:39) “I feel like I have no say because he owns the house” (00:27:08) Ramit breaks down their numbers (00:37:44) “I still feel like I’m only making $50,000” (00:43:59) “Money burned a hole in my pocket” (01:03:09) “That’s the bed I made and I will lie in it” (01:08:25) “Closing doors is hard…but staying stuck is harder” (01:15:59) “It’s not about catching up — it’s about building together” (01:37:50) Where are they now?

I loved the Netflix series and have read (and use) the IWT book and workbook. For the most part, I enjoy the podcast and learn from many of the episodes. It’s always informative and the pace of most episodes is good. IWT is a great approach to finances and life, and the Money for Couples angle is interesting, even though I’m a single mom. I like Ramit’s self-reflection and the commentary he adds to the episodes after taping and prior to air - particularly his honest and genuine approach, and sharing his thoughts about how the conversation evolved.

Usually a great listen and informative

I loved this episode. It was great getting perspective that was provocative and useful right out of the box. I liked the points that were made about spending your resources (money, time, company, etc...) in the right way. Ramit has a way of communicating his point with out over pontificating.

Dont wait!! Listen to this...

Every podcast I learn something new. I try to implement everything I can from listening to this podcast.

Ramit is the guy

Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
stories can be interesting to listen to because some of these people are extremely neurotic, but this is a touchy, feely, sensitive way to try to convince people to make changes in their life and marriage. I agree with his reasoning, but I would never recommend this podcast to anyone that wants to learn about money. I purchased his book on a recommendation , but now I'm worried that it has less to do with finance and more to do with emotional baggage. If that's the case I'll be getting my money back.

More of a marriage counselor than a money podcast.

Fantastic episode. Both are very self aware. Love it. The love and respect is palpable.

Amazing

It's really insightful to hear various couples in all different situations get fantastic help. Recommend!

Well Worth the Listen

I’ve recently embarked on what I refer to as my financial awakening and was, just like many of the guests on this podcast, terrified of money. I’ve read ramit’s book and about 12 others to get myself on the right path and since expanded into podcasts but what I love most about this is the insight into different money lenses and psychology. Bc as ramit says with money we are not logical, we are emotional, irrational, and understanding the deep seated reasons behind this help us to simplify and demystify money. Plan to keep listening. Thanks for the good content- always amazed how calm and understanding ramit is at emotional times and silly or shocked etc at seemingly the right times.

Money psychology and money lenses

Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
I love Ramit’s no-nonsense approach to personal finance. I also love how he recognizes that most of have psychological issues with money, and this is what tends to cause our deeper issues. The podcast has been so helpful for my husband and I - so much so that, if we felt more comfortable sharing our personal financial info in public, we would apply to be on the show ourselves!

A must listen!

This podcast is great -- it's so interesting to hear other people open up about how they interact with each other and their finances. There are a lot of "hey, I do that too!" moments in here -- very educational, and not an angle I've heard elsewhere.

Talking about money from the inside

Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
The conversations often take interesting tangents. Now I wish he could interview single parents, examine their hang ups and help them think out of the box to overcome money scripts of scarcity and struggle.

I want even more!
