How to Get Rich

I was surprised by the lack of knowledge of basic money structures and financial awareness by contestants on this show.

The presenter is very articulate and clear-spoken and doesn't use jargon so that was a highlight. However the people chosen are very frustrating.

I don't understand how you can go to college; hold up x amount of incomes and then not be able to sustain a living despite being in an extremely fortunate position.

The other gripe is so many contestants are also mainly on insane income structures which most of us would not aspire to so yes it's very possible for them to 'Get Rich' if they realised how to budget.

The concept is a bit tired with so many self-help guidelines out there but I really liked the presenter. He's America's Martin Lewis.

It's clearly done for TV. The blonde women with an expensive sports' car and a nice house not understanding basic money was a real worry. Her daughter is a total star for recommending her to go onto this show but her ignorance with absolutely astounding.

These people have obscene addictions and need financial help. Ramit Sethi saves otherwise mediocrity and ignorance and makes it an interesting and watchable show. It's a harsh reality show and there's far too many reality shows and it's nice to see a fresh concept.

It's too long though. It drains on. Special kudos to Nicole for being the parent when her mother clearly as no boundaries or financial arcanum. Multiple times Ramit becomes a therapy councillor without realising it as people haven't adjusted to reality.

They should teach basic finance and credit card management in schools and at colleges. I don't know why people are so unaware of the very basics yet spend so care-free.

Ramit deserves great credit for helping people with their finances yet the actual programme is a hard watch. If he wasn't so likeable it'll be a 5. It's a worry that people aren't able to budget their cashflow. The people are very frustrating and childlike to watch. I would like him to help properly poor people and get them off the ladder. People unemployed.

I am on the first show and I was very interested until you brought on the lame over indulged woman who gets $25,000 for CHILD support and not only throws it away on herself but then whines she can't pay her child's tuition. Inconceivable to those potential viewers who are actually struggling to stick with a budget and learn to direct small investments for their future. She is an absurd caricature. Also, the couple with the stay at home Dad. Respect a dad who looks after his children but probably needs to work outside the house on singular contracts and get daycare. Perhaps the wife could split work from home and office . Gosh, comprises!

Cry me a river.

If you want to see how to walk and dress if you want to get rich this show is for you :) just watch Ramit :) I always tell myself that I'm never ever watching a netflix documentary again and the I just hit play and I'm again disappointed. The advices were basic, good for people who have no clue what to do but nothing groundbreaking. I liked his approach to MLM. I hated the advice that if you want to feel comfortable and equal in a relationship you have to earn more money. Or if you want to live better get multiple jobs but I think maybe this is just the American way of living. The street interviews, what were those? Just filling I feel.

I have seen countless series about personal finance including Dave Ramsey, Caleb Hammer, now this series from Ramit. It was quite refreshing and different, he plays a great listener and is not pushy (after all he has no actual vested interest in anyone's outcome). The series (I am currently on episode 5) has covered a wide variety of people from varying backgrounds and income levels, there are a lot of common threads. Nobody likes to talk about money!

I have never heard anyone recommend an hourly advisor vs yearly fee before and it makes sense once you reach the seven figure range. It's basic math.

Ramit doesn't shame anyone for renting either which was not expected.

I started watching the show in hope I'll learn a few tricks/tips about investment with the money I have saved, not learn elementary class mathematics. If you're spending more than you're making, well, surprise surprise! You'll be in debt. To pay off your debt quicker, what do you do? More surprises! Cut off expenses and pay off more every month for the debt.

If you pay 1000 instead of 700 you'll get rid off your debt in 13 years instead of 18, mind-blown? Yeah, not really.

The only thing I liked about the show is that these people do need help and glad someone decided to do so. And probably that I have better financial intelligence in my mid 20s than people in their 40s.
