~BOOK :your money or your life : transforming your relationship with money and achieving financial independence.. by joe dominguez and vicky robin.. ~ I RARELY ever read about money and finances but this book is quite good and not DRY OR DULL AT ALL...
it goes in to your personal relationship with money and all ie. fear based, emotional, etc..
without banging on too much, ONE OF the main points he drives home is :
1. * YOU GO TO WORK TO "PAY FOR YOUR MONEY" WITH YOUR TIME ! = ur life energy
really hits ya... ya know.. so true..
he has some tips to use before making purchases such as : 1. do i really need this ? or want it rather. want vs need 2. if i wait 2 weeks do i still want it? 3. can i borrow it or buy second hand 4. how much life energy is this costing you ? ie say you make $10 an hr, you want something that costs $100, takes u 10 hrs of yer life energy to pay for this...
2. second Q he poses for u to ask yerself is HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH FOR YOU ? in today's consumer world.. stay clear of to buy is right, when it may not be right for you... hence wrack up credit cards and lose your financial freedom.. what do we really need ? how much beyond, food, clothing, shelter and maybe some recreational stuff/entertainment, maybe a vacation here n there..
just sharing this book. add if u want...
SOMETIMES I THINK, FUCK IT, YA CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU.. OR SPEND IT , THEN JUST MAKE MORE.. which this author frowns upon greatly..
