This book literally changed my life.

I don't believe I've read any book more useful than this one. It made me think about my finances and gave me a workable plan to follow. I read it 5 years ago and it still has an impact on me. It is a little on the tree hugger side, and if you are conservative it will turn you off. If you are able to either agree or see past the hippie mumbo jumbo it can change your life.

Best Financial Planning Book I've Ever Read

This is one of the best financial planning books I've read, mostly because instead of figuring out how to take the paycheck you current have and deciding how to spend it, this one helps you decide if you need your paycheck at all--it really thinks outside the box. I work as a mortgage loan officer. I talk to people about their finances all day. I know 100s of clients that could use this book. If I could only keep and read one book on financial planning, this would be it. --JOHN (an employee of one of America's largest lending institutions).

This book will change your life!

This book will change the way you look at money. If you follow the steps you will become aware of all the little ways (and some big ways) that you are wasting money. By making a connection between how we spend money and our true quality of life, this book presents a revolutionary way of looking at money. Your Money or Your Life is an essential tool in overcoming the rampant consumerism promoted in American culture and regaining control of our lives and happiness.

Different to other books I've read

I have read a lot of self-help & money books in my time, but this one is different to all the others.... it actually makes you WANT to take action!! I have since joined their website forum, and stacks of people are following the same steps to freedom... and getting more out of their lives. Also they have an On-Line Study Group which I've just signed up for. (These aren't free, but you can start doing the steps with other like-minded people and a trainer)

This book helps you to think about what's really important to you and your life.... after all, we only get one go at this! Rather than being about budgeting, it's about evaluating the level of enjoyment you get out of spending your money (also referred to as "life energy") It's certainly made me think differently about spending on things that give me no value in life.

The aim in the end is to reach the "cross-over point", where your income from investments cover all of your expenses, "and then some". You are then free to pursue whatever it is that really will make you happy... and the authors suggest doing something for the good of the planet, or at least to make a difference with all that free time you will have!!

If you feel that while you're making a living, you're really "making a dying", or if you often think "There must be something else to life", then I highly recommend this book to you.
