## Navigating Money: An Interview with Ramit Sethi
**archyde:** Welcome back to Archyde, today we’re joined by the renowned financial expert Ramit Sethi, author of the newly released “MONEY FOR COUPLES: NO MORE STRESS. NO MORE FIGHTS. JUST A 10-STEP PLAN TO CREATE YOUR RICH LIFE TOGETHER.” Ramit,welcome to the show!
**Ramit Sethi:** Thanks for having me!
**Archyde:** Congratulations on the new book. You’ve tackled a lot of personal finance topics in the past, but what made you decide to focus specifically on couples’ finances now?
**Ramit Sethi:** Money is consistently one of the top stressors in relationships, and I’ve seen firsthand how it can create conflict and tension. I wanted to provide couples with a practical toolkit to navigate these challenges and build a shared financial life they both feel good about.
**Archyde:** In “MONEY FOR COUPLES,” you talk about identifying “Money Types.” What are those, and how can understanding them help couples?
**Ramit Sethi:** Exactly! Everyone has their own unique relationship with money, shaped by their upbringing, experiences, and personality. I’ve identified different “Money Types”—like savers, spenders, worriers, etc.— which can help couples better understand their partner’s financial behaviors and motivations.
Once they recognize their own “Money Type” and their partner’s “Money Type,” they can start to have more productive and empathetic conversations about money. [[1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-1kas_GFaA)]
**Archyde:** You also mention “invisible scripts”—can you elaborate on those and why they are important to address?
**Ramit Sethi:** We often inherit unconscious beliefs about money from our families—things like “money is the root of all evil” or “you have to work really hard to be successful.” These beliefs can influence our financial behavior without us even realizing it.
By identifying these “invisible scripts” through self-reflection and open dialog, couples can challenge limiting beliefs and create a healthier relationship with money.
**Archyde:** many couples struggle to align their financial visions, especially when they have different financial goals or priorities. What advice would you give to couples in this situation?
**Ramit Sethi:** It’s all about finding that sweet spot – a “Rich Life” that resonates with both partners. This doesn’t have to mean identical goals; it can mean blending priorities and finding creative solutions. In the book, I walk readers through specific steps to clarify their individual goals, find common ground, and create a shared vision for the future.
**Archyde:** The book is full of actionable advice, from conversation starters to spending benchmarks. What would you say is the one key takeaway you hope couples will gain from reading “MONEY FOR COUPLES”?
**Ramit Sethi:** I want couples to know that they have the power to overcome their financial challenges and build a strong and fulfilling financial future together. It takes open communication, empathy, and a willingness to learn and grow, but it is absolutely achievable.
**Archyde:** Thank you so much for joining us today, Ramit. This has been incredibly insightful.
