Katie (28) and Robin (35) live together in Tennessee and are planning a wedding. They earn a combined $386K, but don't split bills proportionally—even though he makes three times more. She feels judged, lies about spending, and recently racked up credit card debt after secretly booking a ski trip for his birthday. He’s investing $8K/month while she’s barely breaking even.

As they discuss a prenup and her plan to quit her job for grad school, deep questions arise: Can they truly combine finances? Can she stop people-pleasing? Can he be more generous? Ramit helps them untangle power dynamics, rebalance the split, and build a shared vision for money—before resentment derails their future.

Emma (39) and Dave (39) make $258,000 a year—but they’re stuck in a toxic money dynamic. She built a financial plan during maternity leave. He didn’t believe her. Now, they’re battling over trust, $50K in debt, and whether they can afford a $700K house.

With conflicting money roles—she’s the anxious planner, he’s the passive skeptic—they can’t move forward. In this episode, Ramit breaks down their “chaser/avoider” dynamic, the emotional cost of skepticism, and how to finally create a shared vision.

Today’s episode takes us to New York City, where I sit down with not two, but three couples live on stage at my Money for Couples event.

First, meet Antonio (23) and Devonta (23), a young couple who in their 20s are already ahead of the game—earning money while finishing their degrees, having real conversations about finances, and even purchasing a home together.

Next, we meet Pam (38) and Nic (40), who are struggling with a classic money dynamic: one partner earns significantly more and wants to “rescue” the other from financial stress. But as they discover, money alone can’t solve deeper issues of self-worth and financial confidence.

And finally, for the first time ever on this show, a very special surprise guest joins me on stage. You don’t want to miss this!

Wilson (46) and Shannon (35) have built a strong financial foundation—owning a vacation rental, maxing out Roth IRAs, and earning solid incomes. But when it comes to their next move, they’re at odds.

Wilson wants to tap into their home equity to invest in stocks, believing they’re too heavily weighted in real estate. Shannon, more risk-averse, worries about adding debt when they already owe $129K on their home, plus tax and student loans.

Can they align on a strategy that balances security with growth?

On today’s episode, we’re live from Boston for my recent Money For Couples book tour.

First, I talk with Robert (28) and Giselle (28) who appear to have it all together, but behind the scenes, they’re struggling to make intentional financial decisions. Instead of planning ahead, they make impulsive decisions like committing $7,500 of earnest money to a new home that they can’t afford. Now, they’re questioning if they can still plan the wedding they want.

Then we’ll meet Sara (28) and Jay (28) who are newly married and learning how to navigate finances together. Sara is a disciplined saver who avoids debt, while Jay is a big-picture dreamer—planning elaborate vacations without considering the cost. Sara has graciously agreed to help Jay pay off his debt, but was blindsided when Jay revealed the full amount post-honeymoon. Now, as they plan for homeownership and parenthood, trust and transparency are more important than ever.

Juan (43) and Amber (40) feel behind on their retirement plans after years of prioritizing travel and expensive hobbies over investing.

Juan, who grew up poor, struggles with a scarcity mindset—undercharging for his work and financially supporting his family. Amber, now earning less, believes they should be doing better.

With financial pressure mounting, they’re considering merging finances but need to align on their money mindset first. Can they change their spending habits, boost their income, and get on track for their Rich Life?

Frank (29) and Jill (33) are parents of two young kids and are trapped in a vicious cycle of overspending and debt.

With fixed costs eating up 107% of their income and $25,000 in credit card debt, they’ve been repeatedly digging themselves into a hole—and scrambling to climb back out. Frank solves panic with credit card balance transfers. Jill struggles with emotional spending rooted in childhood. Their lack of communication and alignment has created a wedge in their marriage, making it hard to face their financial reality together.

Can Frank and Jill cut spending, break old habits, and build a stable financial future for their family—or will they let the weight of their debt pull them down?
