  • 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. ... show more

  • Have already recommended it to three or four friends
Just finished this book. Have already recommended it to three or four friends. I don’t frequently tell my wife she needs to read something, but this book has so many thought-provoking ideas and questions, and such potential to shape our future financial life that I felt it was was critical reading. I recommend reading through quickly, then deciding how much detail to go into on some of the “assignments.” If you want the short short version, see the appendix, but i gained a lot through the extended, deliberate dive into each topic, the illustrations of real world people, and the time spent with my mind wandering and weaving Vicki’s recommendations into my own mental schema. Some of it is a bit overboard in my opinion—I personally see little value in tracking down old W2’s, for instance. But I did find spending 30 minutes or so estimating what I made each year of my life revealing in multiple ways. The process of methodically accounting for all you income and expenses can require a level of fastidiousness that I don’t have. Fortunately in this tech age online tools can help. I use Mint and love it. I began using Mint about a year ago, so some of the categorization tasks were already done for me. It has its quirks, but if you work past them it is a powerful, free budget analysis tool that pairs nicely with this book. The book left me invigorated, and inspired to live more simply so that I can spend more of my life “ working for a living instead of working for a dying,” financially independent, and content with “enough.” ... show more

  • Excellent Book for LIfe and Financial Freedom
This is one of the top five classic books in the world of life planning and finance. Hard to believe but if you adhere to the basic principles within this book, you can reach financial freedom with peace of mind. I only wish that I had seen a book such as this when I was in my 20's. One of the key points is investing monthly in worry free Treasury Bonds. I did this by investing a third of our retirement funds in I Bonds. Now they have doubled in value earning a cool 5-6% a year after 12 years. No fuss, no worry, no concerns about inflation. It's the old principle of the hare or the turtle. After 40 years I finally got it...the turtle wins out with the magic of compounding. If you just learn those two principles...compounding and Treasury Bonds and start as early as possible, you will be financially free with no risks. Yes. You can try the stock market. I did. Lost alot of money because I acted like a hare, jumping around from one trade to another. if you must use the market, I recommend you buy an Index Fund from Vanguard. Just put your money in every year over 30-40 years. That also works...but it's not risk free. You'll have lots of ups and downs with the possibility of losing everything when times get bad, real bad and you pull out. To be honest, all of my teaching buddies made their fortunes in real estate by buying one house at a time. But...still not risk free and a lot of worry, work, and frustration. You want an easy way to financial freedom and a great life, read this book every year for the rest of your life. I rated it only four stars because it's too expensive for a kindle book and should be dropped down in price so it is more available to the public. This is a book that all of America needs to read! ... show more
