- Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You To Be Rich talks to Jack and Christina, both 33 and born in Russia. With two young kids, they’re looking ahead to number three and to buying a home. But they have $0 in savings, too many expensive vacations, and $87,500 in credit card debt that they can only afford minimum payments on right now. Christina’s income as a doctor triples soon, can it solve everything?

I am not any different from any of your guest. I have my own debt but no where near the income of most of your guest. I to have a whole in my bucket and I am working on getting it patched up. That is why I didn't understand why you would promote a credit card to people who have issues with spending more than they have. Just curious. I have learned a lot from watching you and your guest and I will continue to watch and learn.
I’ll I’ll mmm I I’ll uoo I oil Kim lo he😅i😮o😅i😅😮😮😮
Maybe I should have worded my question differently. Saying "most of your listeners" was unfair of me. From what I see when watching your pod cast is that a lot of your guest have credit card debt as do most people. But my question was not directed to anyone but the host. It just seems to me poor taste to endorse a credit card. When you're trying to educate people on how better to manage their money. Also I thought pod cast were about talking getting involved and asking questions. I guess that depends on the question. ❤
While we can all agree that they have areas to improve on, that is of course the reason they came on the podcast. It takes an amazing sense of courage to put yourself out there for the world to see. I understand it is human nature to critique the decisions others make (and do it myself) but for anyone here to demean others is unacceptable. As if any of us don't have our own demons. I personally wouldn't have the courage to share every detail of my financial life with the world. I appreciate every one of these couples for the work they are doing to change their lives!
Is Torres a way to do a personal audit?
When I was three years old, my parents took me to Disney World. I don't remember a thing from that trip. (They took me twice more, when I was six and nine, and it was wonderful.) If you're looking to build lifelong travel memories for your children, you're not going to do it when they're three. But I get the sense that the Singapore trip was never for the children in the first place.
Agreed. I can't remember anything before 5 years old😅. I have 1 vague memory of taking a photo with Cruella DeVik at Disney World, but that's it
I agree. If the idea is really to have a break from work and spend time with your child, there are many ways to do that closer to home and much less expensively.
100% agree. The child was an excuse. Extremely common.
Take the 3 year old 7 years from now. So he or she can really experience the trip. A 3 year old remembers NOTHING!!!!
Yeah three years old won't remember much about Singapore....it was just for the parents lol
They could be millionaires, owning properties, businesses, etc. What is frightening is they are so caught up in what others are doing and where they are going. Debt freedom is so liberating because when you have focused and worked at becoming free you see things differently, you don’t care about comparing or competing with others. You do what’s within your means, what’s practical and reasonable. There is so much safety, security and happiness when this happens. Stay off of social media and looking at hyper consumers…you will be glad you did.
So true. And the lady's dad is an entrepreneur so i feel like that could totally learn from him and make a series of clinics too
@@Seevawonderloafyou can be an entrepreneur and bad with money. Probably explains where you got her experience with money.
Can't agree more! You nailed it😊
I like your comment a lot. I resonate with your words of wisdom 👊🏼
"Which society? Which society is pressuring you to go to Singapore?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Taking about booking a trip to Singapore 5 minutes after she mentions that just 2 months ago she feared not being able to afford a place to rent 🙄🤦🏼♀️
Yeah these excuses are insane
Cheaper tickets on Kayak
@@Dan16673 not necessarily qualify as insanity. Ramit proves that time and time again lol. Further to the point when she says society she means the pressure from commercials, her family and her very well off peers. its not as far-fetched as people who don't understand money psychology (you and LL-pq) think. we all bow to peer pressure to different degrees. She is a self-proclaimed motivated accomplisher type who saw her issues as a weakness AND she gets enabled by her father. she was bound to end up here feeling lost. Her identity is tied up to possessions and trips so the illusion and trying to maintain it got her in a bit of a pickle
What. You can give a 3-year old a marker, a cardboard box and some bubble wrap for hours of fun
100%! With her 80-hour work weeks for the last 3 years, her 3 year-old would probably be much happier with snuggle time or playing in the park or hiking, not some long flights halfway around the world, then both parents exhausted from jet lag.
It's a guilt response with FTWM, and in masculine woman energy. He is not ambitious more feminine, and not MULTIPLYING money.
I could entertain myself with those supplies.
A 3 year old would not remember much, if anything, from that trip.
Debt affect children so much more than a cool vacation they won’t remember.
Wait until your children are older, 7-9 then go to a big trip like that where they will remember it all. Thanks for sharing, we are all going through these similar struggles.
Just wait until you’re out of debt. Nothing wrong with going on a trip with a 1 year old…if you can afford it!
Singapore.. every 3 yo's dream.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤭🤭🤭
😂
He’s only going to be 3 once 😅 like every age he’s only going to be every age once 😂 he’s only going to be 18 once maybe he would appreciate having wealthy parents then.
*Caleb Hammer voice* YOU ARE NOT A CREDIT CARD PERSON😅
LMAO 😂😂😂I CLEARLY SEE HIM SAYING THAT 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
He has gotten popular fast
Hahah
Omg I can clearly hear that in my ears with his high squealing voice 😂
There's this saying in Med school and training that's often ignored: Doctors can buy anything, but they can't buy everything. Awesome if they, indeed, got some insight into this. Being an employed physician can burn you out in few years. Financial security may help her pivot her careers if she chooses to do so down the road.
So true, I‘m also a physician in Europe and our salary here is much lower than in the US. I certainly don’t feel that pressure to fly to Singapore tomorrow. I‘d rather save to be able to scale back when I‘m older. My kids won’t benefit from me getting a heart attack from being burned out…
Getting a break from work, resting, and spending time with her child are all great ideas. Going to Singapore is probably not the best way to accomplish this. A three year old will not remember the trip, and it seems like it would be much harder taking a trip like that with a child that young. If rest and spending time with your children are the real goals, then there are many, many ways to do that which would be much cheaper and closer to home, and would be a better option with the children.
The trip is for the parents, notthe kids. It’s an excuse they’re telling themselves to cope with it. Happens very often
"Mo money mo problems."
The way Ramit connected their exercise mindset to money was powerful stuff. Makes me wonder whats "easy" and whats "hard" in my life and see if its just mindset.
That's why I love watching these episodes. While I may not have the income/situation/etc. of all involved, each episode makes me take a look at my own decisions.
I have a suggestion - I understand her urge for vacation and I would say instead of refraining from taking any vacation strike a deal. Out of 2600$ save 600 per month for vacation and plan a little modest vacation and still pay off debt using 2k. Thereby she don’t have to wait for 3years to plan her next vacation, end up frustrated and plan an extravagant trip and going back on debt accumulation.
I didn't realize that money issues were a reputation among doctors!
Yes very much so. That impending pay bump is a curse and a blessing.
U have been living under a rock.. most doctors are broke..
Doctors often suffer from the same hubris you see from a successful business person. They think that, since they are successful in one arena, they will be successful in anything they attempt. I have a rule to never go into business with a doctor. I've seen too many try to start businesses that were silly, poorly executed, or just not properly funded so they all failed.
I think too overspending is a bit of a burn out thing. It's part of the work hard play hard dynamic and "playing hard" is expensive
@@valerimacdonald5146Understand the sentiment. But I don't think it's because they're successful in one area... the more education and expertise you have, the more you realize you don't know about other things. I think doctors suck at finances because they don't learn money management in training - they aren't taught finances in school, and aren't earning enough money in training to gain experience managing it. So they come out of training at almost 40 and start earning what most consider to be an astronomically high salary - the likelihood of mismanagement is high. It's very similar to the situation professional sports players fall into.
Thank you to this kind couple for helping the rest of us nuckle heads! I appreciate the honesty and openness. You are doing a great service to your peers. Also, thanks to Ramit for creating this space.
The best for your children are calm financially free parents.
With no addictions.
Ramit- this is SO good. I love their vulnerability around spending & $ views. If you ever want to do a couple who started off rough, but are now in a very good place, lmk. I’m a therapist who owns a group practice, we adopted from Russia (which caused years of debt), but have changed our relationship with $, got educated, to the point I do a lot of financial counseling with my CEO, Dr. & Lawyer clients living paycheck to paycheck. It all comes down to getting knowledgeable, getting real & making small changes over time. We could’ve retired 4 yrs ago; but I love my job, & with Covid taking a toll on mental health, I feel there’s such a need for therapy.
Thanks for another great episode. You probably know the quote, "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." It's interesting to hear from all of these couples with issues, but I hope you can interview a couple that's nailing it and show us one amazing example to aspire to.
Stop spending money on credit cards! Your kids won't remember or appreciate trips until they are about 9 or 10 and over, believe me I know. I have two daughters that we wanted to do everything with and now they say, I don't remember that.
I traveled extensively before i had my son. I didn’t really go anywhere again except local trips until he was 6 or 7. Now we travel together and he remembers everything. Big expensive trips when the child is really young only benefit the adults
Same here. We find the trips more enjoyable nowadays because the kids are old enough to participate in more activities while on vacation.
100% we leave the kids at home when we go overseas
This was a really good one. What a lovely and clever couple - they will have an incredible life and their children will be that little bit older to enjoy it fully too. Slow and steady x
your kid will love it much more if you spend the vacation time at the park in town with him!
Thanks for showing the spreadsheet! It's nice to put numbers/visuals to the conversations.
I have faith in this couple. They need to use the same discipline that they use to exercise to be successful with money. All the best to them.
I love that Ramit still knows the value of money. You can see his surprise when she says earning six figures is not a lot....
It seems like they want everything at once. You cannot have lavish vacations, eat out all the time, buy nice cars, buy clothing, and save for house. Pick and choose what you value.
These convos are so real yet so unreal. It’s so helpful for people to talk through it and listen back now or years later will likely drive them crazy 😂 yet this is so familiar and I know friends who are going thru this exact thing
this vid made me pay off my credit card debt
Seriously 😂 I really looked at myself after watching this
Love these videos. Learn a lot. Also appreciate these people's willingness to share their life stories with us. There are countless number of people in similar situation that don't talk about it. Host is also very attentive and engaging. Thanks for posting.
The best for the child is to live in a responsible family, which include having financial freedom. The goal I set myself is to join the top 1% financially within a set timeframe. With my self-motivation I had no doubt of achieving my goal, which I did. I am now working towards my new goal. Right now, Today, these people need to forget everything they have done up to now and start living as grown up responsible adults.
If you want your kids to have the best experience that they will remember wait until they're older...10+. My 27 YO son says he remembers very little of the trips we took prior to age 10+. It would be so much more productive for couples to sit down before and get real. I realize that that is one big reason they are doing this with you...they struggle with getting real with where they are with their finances. It's painful to see them struggle. I imagine that it must feel so gratifying to finally have a plan they can work on together. I wish young people would realize that no one care if you have furniture from West Elm or that you take big trips AND if they do, they do not truly care about you. Living within your means, investing whatever you can, and little to no debt is the only way to live a rich life. You are providing such an important gift for these families Ramit.
Super small detail, but she mentioned expensive furniture from West Elm. When I moved last year, I needed a sofa, my previous one had been $800. Looked at local stores for something similar and it was going to be $2500, maybe $2100 with labor day deals (+ taxes/delivery charges). I know, inflation, but the prices seemed crazy to me. And all the items I saw I didn't even really like. West Elm is even more expensive. I also saw at some stores "open our credit card and get 0% financing for 72 months!" People are literally taking out "car loans" to get furniture. Anyway, I found a labor day deal at a store I knew a few states away (with 0% sales tax) and got a couch I ended up loving for around $900. Burned some miles to fly up, rented an SUV and drove it down the east coast. Still saved tons of money doing that. Part of this was lack of supply near me (supply chain issues) and part of it was finance, but so many of these furniture stores charge prices that are just out of this world.
And yes, the couch I got is just as nice (or nicer) as the more expensive ones I looked at. And the store I got it from likely has my future business. Price is a silly game where people look to buy the more expensive thing because they assume high price = superior quality. This is often a convenient filter, but not always.
I also don't buy quite as much furniture as a lot of people. It really weighs you down when you need to move. Moving it is expensive, storing it is expensive. Plus a lot of people just have such cluttered homes because they buy too much.
Can I ask what store
@@sarthipatel6868 raymour & flanigan. I forgot to mention a lot of stores near me were saying 6+ month delivery. which likely means you buy it, they never deliver, too late for chargebacks (I verified this is a common story unfortunately via yelp reviews of local stores too). was able to pick up from R&F pretty quickly.
I literally have a leather chesterfield i got on craigslist for $800.
West Elm is overpriced. If it's on clearance, it's okay but full price is way too much for what you get.
Most of my apartment is West Elm because it was the cheapest that's passable for me but some of it is really low quality. My sofa is Room & Board because West Elm has poorer reputation for sofas and you want a sofa to last (if you don't have kids or pets who will trash it anyway).
West Elm is the Millennial step up from IKEA but don't buy too much of it. Save for fewer, higher quality pieces and try to only buy things that are on clearance (my sofa was like $1000 off and was close enough to the one I wanted).
Once I get my money better together, I'll pass the West Elm stuff on and get more Room & Board and maybe even local custom stuff or antiques (I had an empty apartment I wanted to fill quickly, which was a poor financial decision).
Christina was debt free with the same total gross incomes of both of them. That was when she earned less, so she spent less.
Now that she earns more, she feels that she can spend more, ignoring the other monthly expenses she has. She expects her husband to cover those monthly expenses.
She doesn't realise on $ 87,000 credit card, she is paying about
$ 23,500/- interest a year
I feel she doesn't care about the debt. She wants to travel to have a status in her social circle.
Every holiday they go on, ONLY SHE ENJOYS, her husband is tense about the money spent & the repayment of the money.
I Hope she is, able to absorb Ramit's guidance on reducing her spending & paying off her debts.
AND she's never been responsible for money. Daddy paid for everything. She's spoiled and unwilling to tame her lifestyle.
Probably won't learn
This was a really great, down-to-earth, yet profound episode! Ty to all of you for sharing your truth. #lifechanging
I LOVE your little rant at the 24 min mark.
I know this is rare, but I do take advantage of 0% APR for X months. I've done it twice to buy large ticket items for the home. However, to avoid any interest charges, I auto deduct the same amount every month until the month the fees kick in then cancel the card.
I've used 0% offers numerous times to make larger purchases. "Free" money, especially when I get cash back points as well.
Same
i know how easy it is to get sucked into credit cards. happened to me too. 32:00 i think most of us need a wake up call when it comes to credit card debt!
It’s really not unless you’re a moron…
What beautiful followups. If things stay consistent with them they’ll be taking those trips from the interest alone in a few years.
“Whatever - people are weird. I love my job!” 😂
These people are lovely. I was dumb about money when I was their age, I hope they get on top of their debt.
median household income in America was $74,580 in 2022. However, if you remove the top earners, it's much less. I hope this doctor understands the population she will be helping and has compassion for their living situation.
Nothing more relatable than being in medicine and feeling pressure to maximize those vacation weeks in residency.
i really loved christina’s follow up. i feel like a lot of the comments are jumping quickly to judging her but she was so receptive to everything jack and ramit were saying, even taking notes and committing to making sacrifices. i wish the best for this couple! thanks for being brave enough to share your financial situation with the world, every episode of this podcast helps a ton of people so we appreciate you
Thank you for sharing
Leaning a lot and a different way to look at money and life .
Thank you for sharing. Congratulations on your goals and I’m sure you’ll have a great aventures.
They seem so sweet. I hope they can create a plan together and enjoy the money and time they have.
I would love to see future prgoress of this couples finances after they have been through the programme. Having the courage to open up on here alone shoes they care and want to commit.
My wife and I had the exact opposite mentality as these two. I'm earning 120k and she has graduated with her M.S. RN. So our income is doubling. We cash flowed her education, while paying off other debt incured from helping with a loved one's medicine care, when she starts working we'll be down to $25k debt except our mortgage. Our goal is to pay off the remaining debt before the end of the year and wipe out our mortgage in 2-3 years. Then we'll be debt free with a solid 160k net cash flow, plus our Employer matched retirement investments. Our last step is to supercharge our investments and set aside cash for purchases/lifestyle improvements. We want to take multiple international vacations a year and start investing in rental properties.
Great work and keep at it - best of luck :)
multiple vacations a year...LOL!
I know several doctors who speak the same exact way she does. You spend time through training, and once you get out it's the yellow brick road. It's a scary path because doctors are talented, but fail to see humility. I appreciate her for coming on, but some of these short term fixes can become a nightmare in the future.
Such a sweet couple. I wish them lots of luck :)
Hey Ramit ! you are soo good at listening and tolerant 😄you got to the point with this couple ..amazing job how you helped them make the connection between their discipline to exercise and non discipline to money matters👍
What a tragedy and a loss of resources from a lack of financial planning. It’s surly a wake up call for all of us. Live below our means, or be paying it all off when we are older. It will be taking away from my future and from my kids future if they continue on this way.
I think that its common for at least one person in a marriage to be oblivious of the concept of money or not understand the value of a dollar. I think in this situation, that person is Christina.
Right. the husband seems to want to hold off on the trip(s). I think it's "Happy Wife, Happy Life."
@@deirdrekiely6187 agreed. That’s such an overused and cancerous phrase that some ppl live by.
The baby won’t remember the trip, it’s better the plan for the future for you and your family. Financial security matters for your children’s sense of security within the home. Thank you teaching is all about our emotions associated with money.
38:41 Pay close attention to what she says here. She started to say “we will have money in the future” and then corrected herself to say “I will have money in the future.” If you think her husband didn’t pick up on that you’re wrong. He knows she has him be the short and curly’s. This is an interesting study in power dynamics.
She should be shameful to blame her spending on her kids. My kid at three enjoyed more his time with me playing ball at the backyard than our trip to Cancun......
No trip will make your kids love you more
To each his own. I'm a boomer and I budget my travels to $1500, whatever that may take me. $1500, all included. I splurged in 2022 for a month in La Paz, B.C., $2100, rent in a tiny bit cozy apartment included. I hope this couple come out on top, and everybody for that matter.
Are these trips just for you? Party of one vs four?
My silent generation, blue collar dad lived frugally. He is comfortable retired now. The man still wears pants from the 80s. However, as kids and today, when he travels…he does not penny pinch. His philosophy is that I don’t spend elsewhere to spend here. Same with my bro, he is really well off, he bucked the peer pressure to join a country club. He bought a beach house and takes one blow out trip per year. He also is not a shopper. His wife is not a shopper. Priorities. Earning it and keeping it are two different skills.
@@Galworld761 That is exactly what I do, in a minor way. I pick my spending battles, hardly ever eating out, cooking most of my meals. I spend my money on concerts because live music is my thing.
I can’t believe this lady just blamed her son for a trip to Singapore that she can’t afford😂
Hey Ramit, Can you please update the link to your newsletter? It says it’s deleted/broken! Thanks 🙏
Ramit, Love this program! Please consider adding single people, maybe once a quarter? Your show is the only program that does a deep dive and would be helpful to see also for single people. I'm single so yes my request is self serving. haha
Thank you for watching! Not going to do that, but I invite you to join iwt.com/moneycoaching where I do live Q&A each month
@@ramitsethi why won’t you address single people…Are only couples worthy of this advise/insight?
Thank you for sharing 😊
I dont think she has the same respect for his man when she started making much more than him..and he does not feel good about it..She even considers his six figures has almost nothing...
I expected more intelligence from a doctor not planning 25k trips with no saving... godness me !!
When are we going to get the next where are they now?
Great episode I wish them the best. The kids would ❤ camping. Most campgrounds have full cabins. They could be so rich😊
Have either one of you thought what happens if one of you should die? I used to work in the funeral industry, and people of ALL ages die for no apparent reason....people don't have to be ill to pass away. You of course should've be where you are at, but to depend on each others income only adds fuel to the fire.
Is there any way for non-english speakers to listen to this podcast?
The problem here is entitlement based on keeping up appearances...if they are worried about where they are going to live then vacations are a pipe dream. I wish them the best but they have to get over titles and make a plan for money and debt.
I am a resident and you cannot afford anything if you have children living in la on a residents salary. Most residents do not accumulate this type of debt durung residency. We all work 80 hours a week !
You son is never going to remember if you went on a trip till he's at least 5.
Serious question: Can someone like Christina, who’s been a spender her whole life, actually change? I don’t mean a few months or a year, I mean long term? It’s extremely difficult and I find it not possible, the constant struggle to fight yourself to not go back to your default behavior, you will eventually give in
People change all the time- When you know better you do better. Hopefully they will in this area of their lives
I find it limiting to say bad behavior is just a default or "that's just how I am." Change is possible if you commit to it. Before you know it, good habits will be your new default.
I think so. If they find a saving strategy that fits their lifestyle where they can save and still enjoy their money, I think it possible. I say this from my own experience.
I don't think she will change, but she can definitely get smarter.
budget
All my experience and studies into relationships and finances leads me to believe never commit to or marry a “spender.”
At least she is a big earner but it still seems miserable. I couldn’t imagine being the earner and the saver… a life of slavery and anxiety; no thanks.
Edit: After listening further… both of these people are banned from credit cards. They need the Dave Ramsey system.
This was a difficult conversation, I hope they get their finances sorted
Don't travel anywhere. Don't leave the house until the debt is paid off.. How can you ever consider travelling anywhere with that crippling debt hanging over you? Cut up your credit cards. Don't send your kids on guilt trips all over the place. Little kids just want cuddles and listening and affection, not trips to Singapore.. That's just off loading guilt
Learning so very much! You’re hilarious as well.
Like this couple! Positive energy they give out ….super
I am lost for words 😮
Need a vacation? Spend the weekend in Santa Barbara and call it good until you dig out of more than a QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS of debt.
The fact is their son will never remember the vacations he took at the age of 3... it's better to wait and take him when he will actually remember it and enjoy it.
" I want to give my 3 year old kid the best" so instead of cancelling my expensive vacation trip that he won't enjoy cause he is 3... I'm moving him to public school, which will save me the same amount my trip is in more than 2 years ..
The commercial for the nest card couldn't have been better-placed XD. Ramit just blasted them for using credit cards, then promoted one right after lol. Not at it, just found that funny
This is just being completely unconscious about spending. They want to live it up without suffering from the mess they made.
Your kids not gonna remember the expensive holidays. Theyre gonna remember not having friends because they gotta move houses every year. The things ppldont think abour, seriously. Put yourself in your kids‘ shoes. Would you rather grow up with forgotten holidays or growing up in a house with no money fights. 55:13
27:01 her expressions killed me throughout this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Botox is tooo strong here
53:05 The way you do one thing is the way you do everything
Can you make the spending plan much larger so we can see it better please, its very tiny. tx
I will share with my team and see what we can do! Thanks for watching
Loved this! If you ever get bored of wealthy American couples, I know a poor English woman who could use your wisdom 😂
Would you be willing/interested in hosting a family? Two adult daughters and a mom?
My son never remember any trips we took when he was below 5 years old
25:06 He isn’t comfortable with it in the slightest. Listen to the way he stumbled through his answer. He’s scared to death of that woman. She’s making the money, she’s a spender, if he tries to stop the slide, she’ll toss him out on the street.
44:03 Watches. Definitely wrist watches. Getting that Lange & Sohne one day!
Kids don't remember much when they are 3 years old. I don't have any memories before I turned 5. And those memories have faded over time. The reasons for this trip make no sense. If it's for her to re-charge, then great. But if seems like this is more to impress her friends and kids. I hope they get their priorities strait. Western culture has a mindset of wanting things now and pay later. I've done this myself so I can't be too judgmental. .
This is the stuff I think about before I make purchases
WTH, I would rather defer a leisure trip and saving my money. Who the hell cares about keeping up with the Shallow Jonses!
New Subscriber! ❤ I am so glad I found your channel…it just popped into my feed. Wow! 🙏🏾 I am learning quite a bit. I’m in my early 50’s and felt I was too late to being saving and investing. I realized that it is possible to change one’s habits and create a life that you want.
Live within your means people!!!!
Lol… the timing of the NESS ad. He just said: “Stop it with the signing up for the credit cards with the points!!!” And then the NESS ad comes on. Lol oh the irony 🤦♀️
8:48 had my dying 😂
They’re totally out of control and a 3 yr old will NEVER remember Singapore so that’s only an excuse
I left medical school because I realized the only reason I wanted to be a doctor because of the societal reputation, respect etc but didn’t really connect with the work. While I was in school, I assumed money would never ever be an issue and I’d be raking in multiple 6 figures. While I took a year of debt with me, it was the kick in the butt I needed to learn and take my personal finances seriously.
I LOVE this podcast, Ramit! I look forward to new episodes. I find it hard to imagine, though, how you decided to promote the NessWell credit card. It doesn’t seem like you to promote your listeners get a new credit card! Although I’m a Health & Nutrition Coach, I don’t spend “a lot” on health and wellness. I take classes, continuing education, whole foods, and some other things, the promotions that NessWell is offering (in your ad) seem to contrast with what you typically recommend to your interviewees-i.e., the extra points and money back for spending $6,000, using accumulated points for health & wellness items (it’s similar to my Amzn Prime card ).
Anyway, can you address this contradiction?
