Sethi pointed out that one of these gurus is Shark Tank co-host Kevin OLeary.

OLeary has been vocal about cutting back on small expenses to save for the bigger picture.

You should invest in low-cost funds over long periods, set up automatic savings and enjoy your coffee.

This financial advice is very whimsical, and Sethi knew why.

As a finance YouTuber himself, Sethi has faced criticism.

He admitted that many users have commented about him getting rich from a book about how to get rich.

He said there are many easier ways to get rich than to write a book.

Sethi suggested having a healthy distrust of anyone who offers you financial advice.
