 I loved this book!, 2008-08-05
The other reviewers have pretty much covered the content of this book. Admittedly I haven't used all of the ideas, however now I have become very aware of how I spend my money and how many hours I have to work to purchase the ever evasive 'thing I must have or die'. Totally amazing! I now realize how much stuff I really have that I really do not need. Keeping these things actually cost you more by using up your time and energy to maintain 'your stuff'
Once you can get this change in your thinking, it's amazing how much more money you really have.
Before I purchased this book, I found it referenced and recommended all over the place. That must mean something.
If you're still not sure about it, get it from the library. (Yet another of their money saving ideas.)

 OK, 2008-08-02
Ok book on retirement planning. But, like all such books, it pays to be rich before you retire. Nothing of use for us "poor" souls.

How to learn how to say Enough, 2008-07-20
Out of all the financial books I've read so far, I believe this one is the one that speaks most to my values and beliefs about finances. Instead of preaching about how you can have it all, the authors discuss the value of frugality and recognizing when a person has enough. The authors have nine steps in their program and each step is designed to help you make your way to financial independence and intelligence by asking yourself what your really getting out of your spending habits, and also the way you live your life. The authors posit that it is entirely possible to retire earlier in your life provided you know how to live frugally, and I believe this is entirely the case. I've already been modifying how I spend money, thinking carefully about what the benefit is of buying a particular item, as well as what my overall goals are. I'm already noticing some effects and I'm willing to continue committing to a program that ultimately could lead to satisfaction in terms of having enough time to really do everything that I want to do.

Get a Life!, 2008-07-07
From its definition of money--life energy--to its activities, Joe Dominquez and Vicki Robin's Your Money or Your Life is the book that puts things in perspective, so that anyone who picks it up knows what he or she can to do create a powerful life. My son balked when he first picked up the book because it is labeled "Self help." After reading a few pages, he decided the book was much more. The exercises reinforce the overall theme--because it is a theme that permeates the book--you have to know what it means to live to have a life! In addition, the book introduces its readers to a list of organizations with an abundance of resources, including a variety of study guides created for use with students, associates, and church groups. I recommend reading Your Money or Your Life several times and sharing it with family and friends.
