Our view
“Your Money or Your Life” is a personal finance book whose real subject is how you spend your life. Its central exercise is to price purchases in hours of work as well as in dollars, which turns every lunch out into a question of what your time is worth. The nine-step programme is aimed at readers who want to rethink what money is for, and not only to tidy a budget.
