"Very helpful book about gaining financial independence and confidence in your life and career by living well within your means and being a conscious spender. My only wish is that the book didn't simply explain a recession as a natural retraction of the economy that makes it more efficient. In some ways it is, but it leaves many homeless, some systems broken and inefficient (like California) and the lucky few with jobs less likely to pursue more appropriate interests. Other than that a great work. Must read for anyone!"
"I agree with some of this book's message (pay attention to where your money is going, consider how much of your hard-earned money is going towards some silly things you don't need.) I already track my expenses in a little notebook--that's what most of the financial gurus say to do. But there's such an anti-job sentiment here. What if you want to work, what if you LIKE your job? And some of the other exercises would have taken forever to accomplish--how much have I earned and spent thusfar in my life? I have no idea. Made a little, spent more than that, that's why I'm reading these money books! I stopped reading 1/3 of the way in. Might be helpful for people who would like to work for themselves."
"This book could really change your life-- as long as you have the ability to be extremely organized and detail oriented. (Which, sadly, most of the time I don't). Like its spiritual cousins, "What Color is Your Parachute" and "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People", "Your Money or Your Life" is full of great advice that is almost impossible to execute. "You don't have to understand it," say the authors, "Just do it." I guess you can consider me Ye of Little Faith. Sorry, but I like to understand how things work before I pour huge amounts of my time into them.
That said, you can learn some important things from this book, even if you don't do the 9-step plan. For example, I learned that "rewarding myself" for doing a job I hate should be factored into my wages for the job, as well as money spent on "decompressing" or "escaping" from the reality of the job. That was actually a huge breakthrough for me. So while I still think the 9-step plan is kind of odd, I would still recommend this book because it offers a fresh perspective on money that is sorely needed."
"This is the first PersonalMBA reading list book I have read. The information that I found most intersting and insightful was:
- You have made a lot of money in your life, look around your home, go through your stuff... what do you have to show for it? - The act of earning money is using your life energy, therefore money = life energy. Do you like what you are doing? Could you be doing something you love and be happier if your finances were in order and you appreciated living in a state of "enough"? - When you buy something, buy high quality and take care of it to prolong its life. Fix your stuff, do it yourself, learn how to take care of your things so that you don't have to keep rebuying everytime something breaks. - Pay off your debts. Live on less than you make. Save money. - Keep building your savings so that one day, your capital earned on your savings can take the place of your work income... than decide if you want to keep working or not. - Investing in index funds and treasury bonds. Index funds focus on tracking the market and not on beating it. Index funds are not managed by expensive managers and tend to have low fees. By saving on fees (as compared to mutual funds) your money can grow faster and you can have more money in the end."
