Your Money or Your Life is a how-to guide to financial independence-- really, to never needing to work again. It takes a very holistic approach, trying to heal our attitudes toward money. And as a result, it's "steps" can be pretty daunting. Part A of step 1 is to determine how much money you've made in your whole lifetime (first penny to last paycheck). The other steps include determining how much your job costs you, keeping track of every cent you spend, and estimating how happy those cents make you.

I worked through it once, a few years ago, and it was pretty enlightening. But I fell off the cart before very long. I want to give it another try. Does anyone want to do it with me? I'll buy you the book!

We'd work independently, but share our experiences, and keep on each others backs to do all the steps. And we'd let ourselves be brutally honest about how we use money in our lives. Tell me if you think you're interested!

This sounds like a very interesting experiment. I would like to read the book though I can't guarantee I will follow its guidelines.

I would love to figure out how much my job actually costs me and whatnot.

Excellent. I'll get you a copy, and if you decide to only do a little of it, that's okay.

I might well be interested, but I too would like to read it first to see if the principles are something I can adhere to. Fortunately, there's this thing called a library...

Great. If you want to just go find a copy and look through it, tell me what you think. And if you're in my neck of woods, I can lend you a copy.
