Perhaps because money is so fundamental to our lives, or because we associate it with work, often we don&#8217;t examine these simple truths.  But the first step to making sound decisions, about money as about every other topic, is to gather all the facts so you can make a knowledgeable and concious decision.  This book helps you do that.<\/p>\n<p>The book takes you through 9 steps to Financial Independence, from cataloging all the money you&#8217;ve ever made to keeping a budget to their solution for non wage income.  The lessons are told in a easy, simple manner, with &#8216;real life&#8217; stories interspersed throughout.  Some of their most profound ideas aren&#8217;t about money, but about work&#8211;what human beings look for in work that they used to look for in community and family.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a single guy, and I felt this book was aimed at big spenders with families, mortgages and boats, but I still felt there were lessons to take away.  Their end solution is something I&#8217;m still up in the air about, but the steps along the way were fabulous&#8211;every one simple enough to understand, yet powerful enough to change the way you thought about the concepts discussed.  I liked this book and would recommend it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your Money or Your Life by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin, is a collection of simple, common sense observations about money.
