Your Money or Your Life

Vicki Robin & Joe Dominguez · 1992

Money decisions are also decisions about time.

Big Idea

Robin and Dominguez connect money choices with the time and energy spent earning it.

Life energy

An expense can be viewed as a claim on the hours needed to pay for it.

True earnings

Work-related travel, preparation, and costs complicate the headline hourly wage.

Track spending

Seeing where money goes makes patterns available for reflection.

Enough

The authors ask when more consumption stops adding meaningful satisfaction.

Independence

Greater financial flexibility is a means to a valued life, not a universal retirement deadline.

Notooo Take

Review one recurring expense against the time it takes to earn its cost.

  • Educational book ideas, not personalized financial advice or promised returns.

One Thing to Keep

Money decisions are also decisions about time.
