“Your Money or Your Life” is a book that provides a nine-step program for achieving financial independence. This book encourages readers to become more mindful about their spending habits and to view money as a form of “life energy” that is traded for material possessions and experiences. The book aims to help individuals identify their true values and align their finances with those values, thereby achieving a sense of fulfillment beyond the pursuit of wealth. The authors argue that financial independence goes beyond simply having enough money; it involves a transformation of one’s relationship with money and the ability to live a life free from the pressures of consumerism.
