L'Art d'être riche

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.

The show offers some practical tips on how to live within your means. He kind of presents himself as a Suze Orman solving the spending habits of everyday people. Basically it comes down to spending less in a year than you make and keeping the process habitual, which, initially, can be a huge shock to a lot of people and really make you re-evaluate everything from how many friends you keep to what you keep in the fridge, but if money management were taught in grade school people would be in much better financial positions overall.

The problem I have with the show is that his definition of rich is different from mine. From the title, I thought that I'd be introduced to different revenue streams or investment concepts that could build passive income in a short period of time with the goal to live off these investments if I had to.

I think reviewer fearsrob completely misunderstood the premise. First of all, you're still not living your rich life if you're spending all $24k that you make each month. Second, the show is about a holistic approach to financial responsibility to build a life that is meaningful to you. AKA you could have millions of dollars but still have such a guilt centered money psychology that you would be crippled by anxiety over pennies spent on groceries. I really enjoy the show and Ramit's podcast too. It's really interesting to hear about different people's lives and how they deal with their money. I think it's really valuable to have these conversations on display.

The title makes it sound like there is going to be some insight to managing money. But the whole show centers around people who already make a lot of money and telling them not to spend it to pay off debt or save. Not a novel concept. They should have concentrated more on the average, middle-class person and how they can budget better. Only 1 couple like that.. There should have been a whole series of people with their income and how to help them to straighten out their finances. The host is a nice, media-friendly guy, but the people on the show are not even likable. Nobody cares about people with so much money that they don't even know where it goes. The one nice, middle-class couple were the only realistic ones in the show by the time I turned it off in episode 4.

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.
