Your Money or Your Life has been an empowering and transformative read. The nine steps outlined in this book have helped me reframe how I view and manage money. This bookâs practical advice has been invaluable in simplifying and prioritizing my expenses. The insights are clear and relatable, and quite easy to apply to everyday life.

Balance, Self Knowledge, Insight…
I started liking this book when I read the sentence “What kind of society turns its young people into a profit center for the debt industry?” It got better from there and I’m really glad I bought and read it. There were several issues I wish it addressed in more depth. The first was the importance of earning quarterly Social Security benefits 4 times a year for 35 years as a way to reinforce financial freedom. The second was to always be employed, even at minimum wage, to earn those benefits. The third was to show average and median family net worth holdings by decades to give a sense of how net worths increase over time to contribute first to financial security, and second to reach family financial independence. I also would have liked to see some in depth discussion about college debt, how much was reasonable, and relative earnings values of various degrees, and how to pay them off in 10 years.We all come from different circumstances of poverty or wealth, social capital, and human capital. Our task is to recognize our circumstances, advantages and disadvantages, and use the insights of this book to help us to the results that dignify and suit us

This method WORKS for a healthy relationship with money
I recently asked ChatGPT about the best books to become wealthy, and Your Money or Your Life was suggested. I went to check it out and then realized that I already had it on my Kindle, having bought it years ago. I had read most of the book but not all, and I hadn’t used the tools suggested. Looking back now, it feels crazy that I had the simple solution for my financial chaos right in front of me – but instead, I was busy chasing quick fixes in other places (“success” retreats, woo-woo books, therapy, you name it).I have now finally finished Your Money or Your Life and had a huge aha-moment that this is the approach I want and need for sound money management moving forward. I know that the book’s method works because although I haven’t used all of its steps, I’ve been tracking my income and expenses every day for eight months (using a Japanese money journal, a “Kakeibo”). After having struggled with money my whole adult life, I’m now FINALLY living within my means and I’m set up to start creating wealth. It would never have happened without getting conscious about my actions with money through tracking how I use it.I think I probably dismissed Your Money or Your Life when I first bought it years ago because I wanted a shortcut to abundance, so those were the “solutions” I bought into. The problem is that none of the other methods really worked. Your Money or Your Life may not come in a sexy package, but it WORKS. The tools are simple too, and anyone can use them. If you’re tired of financial chaos and feeling like you never have enough, read this book and USE THE TOOLS! Although a very practical and no-nonsense book, I think its results in one’s life can still be magical.

Absolutely Fantastic!
A couple of years ago I counted all the personal finance books that I had read (as I began to downsize my collection and get rid of most of them) and I counted 43. That really surprised me as I had never thought that I could have possibly read as many -after all, if I had my back turned to the bookshelf I probably could only name 10. Without a doubt, this book/cd would be in the top 5 that I have ever read/listened to.Ok, so this isn’t a book, but it is based off of a book, which I have read, and which is a more detailed version of this CD. Having had read the book I wasn’t sure that I would get as much out of the CD, but I was wrong. I have already listened to the (second) CD three times, and each time I got a little more out of it.What makes this CD so powerful is that the approach is not a method, or a system, it is deeper than that, and it ties to your core values. It approaches finance by having you look at how you think and how you spend, and it shares an understanding of how you translate your thoughts into an accounting of your life energy -the limited time on earth that you have to work at your job, earn money, and be with your family. It is as much a CD of philosophy, as it is of finance. Having read the book a year earlier, and having listened to the CD afterwards I suddenly started realizing that a lot of the little purchases that I was making were only delaying my true life goals. Things that I used to spend money on without thinking, now don’t call out to me as much, and things that are more in tune with what I really want, seem even more appealing. This isn’t about scrimping and saving, this is about finding your priorities and asking yourself with every purchase -is this taking me closer, or further away from my life goals? It is so empowering; your life goals are YOUR life goals -they are not someone else’s, and your goals can’t be “wrong”. Whatever is important to you, is what you focus on.The first CD is an introductory CD, and is worthwhile listening to, but not something I would listen to over and over. The second CD, however, is where the philosophy is broken out, and where the genius lies.What a wonderful CD, and what a wonderful companion book. If you don’t like reading, or are not sure about “studying” a book, then I highly recommend buying this CD and listening to it -at least twice. If, after that, you feel like it means something to you, then go out and buy the book.I offer this philosophy my highest recommendation. If done well, it can truly change your life.
