There's a big difference between "making a living" and making a life. Do you spend more than you earn? Does making a living feel more like making a dying? Do you dislike your job but can't afford to leave it? Is money fragmenting your time, your relationships with family and friends? If so, Your Money or Your Life is for you.

• get out of debt and develop savings
• reorder material priorities and live well for less
• resolve inner conflicts between values and lifestyles
• convert problems into opportunities to learn new skills
• attain a wholeness of livelihood and lifestyle
• save the planet while saving money

From Publishers Weekly
Based on their West Coast self-help seminars, the authors map a route to financial security through a prudent and environmentally friendly way of life. Author tour.

From Library Journal
Think environmentally, live frugally, and don't be surprised if your income shoots off the top of the chart that Dominguez, a former Wall Street financial analyst, and Robin ask you to put up on your wall. With this promise, they promote the possibility and goal of having "enough" money in your life. The wall chart of income, expenses, and investments is one of several very detailed records they mandate to support your attitude change. Others are a record of lifetime income and computation of your real working income, translated into "hours of life energy." It would be hard to carry out their nine-step program without frequent recourse to the book for continued inspiration and implementing detail. A marginal purchase for most libraries.

Customer Reviews

full of common sense but not new
So I bought the revised edition and while I really like the book...its really nothing new. Its just common sense. Get out of debt, save, live within your means, don't play the game of "keeping up with the joneses," invest and diversify your stock portfolio. This is advice that my own mother has given me from the time that I was little. So that's why I'm giving it four stars. Its good advice but nothing new.

Just full of common sense - A lot of people need common sense !
Great Great Book !
It actually gives you a plan to organize your financial, to get out of debt etc..
I also loved how smooth/flexible was the cover and paper inside (I know it sound silly)and was great up to the moment i accidentally dip it in my bath... but this is another story.

I would recommend it to everyone who have money struggle.

Good idea, very involved to get started
This book presents a good way of looking at money and how it relates to your life. It was (to me) very involved in getting started in the presented programs, but in the long run would reward you considerably with not only better financial standing, but some peace of mind. I would recommend this for anyone needing a new way to manage money and has a bit of discipline and preserverance.
