‘I Was Sweating': Millionaire Recalls Emotional Prenup Talk With His Wife
Last Updated: After seven years of their marriage, Ramit Sethi considers what they learnt from their prenup negotiations. Self-made millionaire, author and TV host Ramit Sethi is popular for his expertise in finance and wealth building. The millionaire, who has published books on how to get rich and how couples can manage their finances together, recently revealed that his financial journey hasn't been perfect. Ramit, who has been married to Cassandra since 2018, has often shared tidbits about their relationship and financial strategies on the Money for Couples podcast hosted by Ramit. Now, he sat for a candid interview with his wife for a podcast with friend Julie Nguyen where they revealed the most challenging money conversation they had and the difficulties surrounding their prenuptial agreement. On the podcast, Ramit and Cassandra agreed that the hardest money conversation they have ever had as a couple is negotiating their prenuptial before tying the knot. 'I am sweating thinking about it right now," Ramit admitted, adding, 'The first time I brought it up, I remember I had talked to so many people, gotten advice, and planned what I was gonna say and I was very nervous about it," CNBC Make It reported. Cassandra, who didn't know much about prenups, was open to understanding them. Despite their mutual agreement to proceed, things quickly went south as they had different understandings of money. While Ramit saw the negotiations as strictly 'financial' and tried to let the numbers speak for themselves, Cassandra was more tapped into the 'emotional' considerations surrounding their future. Ramit revealed that he tried to make a generous offer in his prenup proposal, but Cassandra was more concerned with their relationship and ensuring their feelings and emotions were aligned. 'We started going back and forth, and I was very confused, very hurt because I'm like, 'I'm not trying to trick anybody here,'" Ramit said. Eventually, Cassandra suggested they should meet a therapist and talk through their emotions to figure out where things weren't aligning. The therapist asked how they each see money, and this proved to be a breakthrough. 'That opened up conversations that we hadn't been able to have because my answer was like, 'Growth, of course. Look at the compounding.' And her answer was safety," Ramit said. Despite the turmoil, the agreement helped them deepen their relationship by opening not just how they think about money, but also how they communicate their feelings with each other, they said. Now, after seven years of their marriage, the couple consider what they learnt from their prenup negotiations to be the most valuable lessons they have learned from each other. Cassandra said that Ramit's mindset around abundance and trusting your earning power has been eye-opening. Ramit, on the other hand, expressed that he is grateful to have learnt from Cassandra the importance of checking in on your feelings and talking about them. 'It has changed the way that I relate to people a lot," he concluded.

Woman's 'magic' 10-minute solution banishes patio black spots
Patio black spots are a type of lichen that can be difficult to remove, but one woman has shared a 10-minute solution that she claims is 'like magic' and 'the only thing that works' Patio black spots, those annoying types of lichen that embed themselves firmly into hard surfaces, are notoriously trickier to remove than your average patio moss and algae. These stubborn stains often laugh in the face of intensive pressure washing, leading many despairing homeowners to question if there's a solution that can truly tackle them head-on. Thankfully, green-fingered individuals have flocked to the Mrs Hinch Gardening Tips Facebook group to spill their tried-and-true secrets for banishing these blemishes. Top of the list is the use of sodium hypochlorite, a powerful concoction known for its lichen-slaying prowess by eliminating the organisms behind those unsightly black spots. Cassandra chimed in with her success story: "Sodium hypochlorite cleared mine. Sprayed it all over my patio, left it half an hour then just rinsed off. Leave longer if you prefer." Meanwhile, David Simkins offered his two cents: "Sodium hypochlorite from eBay. Just brush on and rinse off after an hour. It will kill any weeds too." Adding to the chorus, Charlotte Lodge shared her own positive experience: "Sodium hypochlorite worked so well for me to get the black spots off." For those eager to try it out, sodium hypochlorite is up for grabs at £21.50 on Amazon or available for £30 from Alliance Online, reports the Express. Yet, amid the praise, one gardener posed a note of caution, suggesting that sodium hypochlorite doesn't completely eliminate black spots but rather diminishes their appearance. Shannon Booker clarified her stance: "Sodium hypochlorite is undiluted bleach which is really good at cleaning any paving. "I have used it past and present but it doesn't remove black spots it just fades it. It is a fungus embedded and grows I have it on Indian stone. "This year I have used the Pro-Kleen black spot remover and the stains have all gone now." Other green-fingered enthusiasts have also sung praises for this product. Jess Gwyen remarked: "Pro-Kleen black spot destroyer it's really good. "Sprayed my slabs and within 10 minutes the black spots had gone. It really works like magic." Fiona Stewart commented: "The Pro-Kleen black spot remover is the only thing that works to get the black spots off. Just had mine delivered." The Pro-Kleen Ultimate Black Destroyer is available on Amazon for £29.95, with customers noting its "very effective" nature and how their patios "look like new" after use. However, reviews are varied regarding the effectiveness on black spots and overall value. Households can also find the Pro-Kleen Ultimate Black Destroyer at B&Q and OnBuy for £29.95.
