40. “We’re worth $5 million but my wife nearly canceled our trip to save $200”
Rachel and Jack are poster children for I Will Teach You to Be Rich. Coming from working class backgrounds, they started saving $25 a month and now they’re worth $5 million! There’s just one problem; Rachel still can’t quite believe that the money is real. She’s living like they have to be careful with their spending, and it’s causing huge problems for Jack.

By now, you know: living a Rich Life is more about mindset than money.
Look at today’s couple, Jack and Rachel. Following the principles described in I Will Teach You to Be Rich, they’ve managed to turn a $150k income into over $5 million in savings!
Despite that, Rachel finds it difficult to actually spend the money—she doesn’t truly believe it’s there. She thinks that, with one wrong move, it could all be gone. This is the complicated nature of money psychology at work.
They’ve built up the skill of saving but completely neglected the skill of spending. I’m going to see if I can help them connect the money they make to the Rich Life they want—and are able—to live, by getting Rachel to unpack the invisible scripts holding her back.
