Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
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.

From this inspiring book, learn how to
  • 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
  • and much more

With updated resources, an easy-to-use index, and anecdotes and examples particularly relevant today-it tells you how to:

• get out of debt and develop savings
• reorder material priorities and live well for less
• resolve inner conflicts between values and lifestyle
• save the planet while saving money
• and much more

In Your Money or Your Life, Vicki Robin shows readers how to gain control of their money and finally begin to make a life, rather than just make a living.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wisdom Literature
I haven't worked the 9 Steps yet, although I hope to soon. So I can't comment on the program authoritatively.

I first borrowed this book, then bought it. It speaks to the frustration and uncertainty of the times and markets precisely, and it presents a side of the American psyche which is homely, gentle, prudence, frugal and wise.

I think it qualifies as "wisdom literature". Common sense is not common, and this book is full of down to earth wisdom.

I take what ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - disappointed, mostly with the quality of the printing
I was excited to go through this book after reading such favorable reviews. Unfortunately I felt distracted from the content by the terrible quality of the book printing. "Pulp fiction" at its worst. The pages were thin and gray, very much like newsprint, and the ink was spotty. The type was pretty tight like they were trying so hard to use fewer pages to print to save money.... basically, I wasn't able to get into the book because of the actual materials. I'm a pretty design-sensitive person but I ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - your money or your life
nice little book. bit outdated, thought. more useful information i can find in books from hakim bey and john zerzan. but it is ok for a start. to view the money market conciously is utmost important for everyone. thank you. rolf kuhn



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best common sense advice on how to manage your money
Remarkable insights and strategies for handling personal finances. You don't have to go with the book's whole program to have results. There were several ideas presented that I had actually adopted on my own decades ago, and they have absolutely worked for me.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - pass on this one
I bought this book because of the great reviews written here, and because the title always seems to pop up when someone talks about "getting out of the system." The further I read through this book, the harder it was to keep reading. There is a definite political slant to this book, which I can accept, except that it implies all your solutions to finances and happiness lie in joining Environmental groups or becoming an artist. Nearly all of their "case studies" end up quitting "lucrative high tech ... Read More
