I Will Teach You to Be Rich

Ramit Sethi

Gives a system for spending, accounts, saving, and automated investing for readers who want personal finance to become a routine.

Mental models

One well-designed automatic transfer can outperform a monthly promise to save whatever remains.

One strong decision on a large expense or income can outweigh hundreds of tiny savings.

Identify categories that create disproportionate joy, spend more there, and reduce spending in low-value categories.

Surface beliefs learned from family and culture, then test whether they still fit current facts and goals.

Fund priorities in a deliberate order instead of trying to maximize every goal at once.
