We wrote a whole book about how Your Money or Your Life transformed our life so we’re not going to repeat what we said there on this page. We feel compelled however to reiterate what a powerful tool the program can be toward creating a simpler and more sustainable life.

Since Getting a Life first came out in 1997, Your Money or Your Life has been translated into all the major world languages and in 1999 it came out in a new English language edition. In 2001, a revised and enhanced version of the original audio tape course with the voice of Joe Dominguez, was released. The book has sold nearly a million copies since first published in 1992.

We believe that Your Money or Your Life continues to attract attention because of its holistic approach toward money and life. It is not a “get rich quick scheme.” Instead of “more is better” it suggests we figure out what is “Enough.” Enough money, Enough stuff, Enough time. It asks us to ask ourselves what is really, really important and let go of the rest. It asks us to clarify our values and life purpose and start behaving in alignment with them. In doing so, we find that we spend less, waste less and live simpler, more meaningful lives.

The beauty of Your Money or Your Life is that it allows everyone to decide what is right for them. You choose what stuff to keep in your life and how much money is enough for you. There are no magic formulas offered. The authors ask you only to be honest with yourself. The nine steps provide a framework or roadmap for moving through the process in a logical way.
