From the New York Times, this is the interview.

I'm David Markezi.

What's the best thing to do with our money?

It's an age-old question, and one often prompted by the feeling, at least for me,

that there are experts out there who know the mysterious

answers hidden from the rest of us financial rubs. Remit Sethi has found success positioning himself

as one such expert in the world of personal finance. His book, the irresistibly titled

I Will Teach You to Be Rich, has more than a million copies in print.

In the years since it was published in 2009, Seity has transitioned into streaming with a Netflix series called How to Get Rich, and a popular podcast, Money for Couples, in which he ends up playing both financial advisor and de facto relationship therapist for couples struggling with money problems. So why are people listening to him?

For one, he comes across as younger, hipper, and more emotionally attuned and liberal

than your stereotypical browbeating financial experts.

For another, he says the key to personal wealth, even in an economic moment that seems particularly tough for his younger audience, can be as much about spending money as it is about skrimping and saving.

I wish I'd known that sooner.

Here's my conversation with Ramit Satie.

Ramit, thank you for taking the time to speak with me today.

Thank you for having me.

We're going to talk about money.

My favorite topic.

My problem is I have too much of it.

How do I get rid of some money?

That's really my issue.

You do not hear that too often.
