Your Money or Your Life: Nine Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money

Most thinking about money assumes your financial life is separate from the rest of your life, but it is time to put those things back together. We need to account for earning, spending, debt and savings, but also count the time these functions take in your life. A positive relationship with money is reflected in the sense of satisfaction and fulfillment you get from your work, and how it connects you with family, community and planet. Regardless of whether you are in debt or whether you have substantial savings, you can embark on a work/life path where you make a life, and not merely a living.

The ability to buy food whenever I want is the best part for me in my frugal life

[@karenwallace5855]

This book had a huge impact on my life. It shifted how I viewed trading my time for money and how I began to demand more value for value went I spent money. It inspired me to start saving and investing. My favorite, most memorable part of the book is "the crossover point". It opened my eyes to what was possible. I bought the book in the mid 90s and now less than 25 years later, I am financially independent at the age of 55.

[@AndyTaylor9991]

You just sold a book ;)

[@lovher]

Can u pls tell us how u applied her book ideas in practical?

[@caffeineonmusic2276]

25 years later you're financially independent karen

[@laughingheart3835]

Financial independence at 55, without social security is a huge achievement. Many people are working until the day they die.

[@paulheffron4836]

This is something that should be taught in public schools.

[@sofondadavis5028]

Should, but will NOT. Why? 15:10 It doesn't help with encouraging consumerism or capitalism. Our training is for materialism 18:10.

[@lisajohnson6351]

But then who would the corporations exploit?

[@worthit2379]

Since the day my son was born...I think of the price of purchases in terms of how many hours I have to be away from him/work in order to pay for it. Puts everything in perspective.

Money is freedom and power.

[@SimplyBeautiful516]

I read this book more than 15 years ago and it dramatically changed my mind and then my life. I am where I am today greatly due to these concepts.

[@MadelineFarrell-rt5zg]

Thank you, everything you say is 💯true. All my life I looked for VALUE, and the less I buy, the MORE I have.

omg that guy who told her "India is a country" and she's like "yeah. i know. i'm a pretty smart lady. have you been listening?"

[@shadestrider1033]

She sounds like an Elder Scrolls Oblivion NPC, which is what most of us clicked on the video for.

[@MILOESKOBAR20]

Erm no, she called Bhutan a state in India, which it is not! The guy was interjecting to tell her that it's a separate country not a state in India

[@mikejarrells431]

Thank you for sharing your philosophy and techniques with the world! I've been financially independent for years now. Living the dream & trying to set a good example for others. ;-)

Consumer Spending accounts for roughly 70 percent of U.S. economic growth -- that amount has increased considerably, from 59.5 percent of the economy in 1969 to 68.1 percent of GDP in the third quarter of 2019, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

[@newattnow]

Great video!!

[@brunodunshee8937]

- The economy will survive , even if every one goes off grid , building their own shelters, growing their food and foraging! I think the engagiment with the Market should begin from that point of view! When we evaluate someting for the DIY point of view, the worth of it became more acurate!

If adult people think that a SUV can malke them happy, there is a lot of work to do, since such people seem to be spoiled kids instead.

All these companies never gave me a chance and wanted me to start working for free and In a in a unpaid internship, when I got my degree in 2011. I was 36 or 35 years old when I got my master's degree and I couldn't just quit basic customer service job. That was pai $1k a month... there was no way there was no way. I can quit my job and go work for some company.... 65 miles away in los. Angeles...for free as an unpaid internship. I paid cash for my suv when I got an inheritance in 2018.no car note. 2018. Now 2024.

[@nr1785]

What’s with the guy interrupting her in the middle of her talk, just to try and correct her and arrogantly prove he’s supposedly smarter than her. Wow. Misogynistic man threatened by a wise woman. Pathetic!

[@mightyoak11111]

Speaker was correct that countries and states can be used interchangeably. Clear example is Israel. Its often called the state of Israel. Israel is also a country. Many other examples. He was splitting hairs.

[@philmole1209]

The person interrupting was clearly an ignorant candy-ass who thinks "state" only has a definition within the United States and has to be a different kind of thing than a nation.

That's a nice head you have on your shoulders.

How can you go to work if you're not paid? Who's paying you the gas money to get to work? So I don't know how people expect to drive to work If They'Re Not Getting Some. Type of gas money to get there and if you're working from home, somebody better be paying your electric bill to be able to go on the internet and somebody better be paying your internet bill as well.

[@sencdaarvaarjemee205]

maybe start asking what is life. money is a storage of monetary energy. in gold we trust, in fiat currencies we lost, in bitcoin we'll blast !! Also, you can make more per hour. passive income even. she seems to be bound to x/hour.

[@jaggedlittlepill100]

Well, she just said "I'm not talking about poverty, I'm talking about most normal people." Does she have any idea how many of us that leaves out? Because, you know, if you're living in poverty it must be because you're lazy and/or stupid. Great. No help or answers for some of us on how to get out of the trap we're in. We don't HAVE discretionary spending money. So I guess your 9 steps are just like every other "program" that's supposed to help. It helps people who already have money - big surprise.

[@madgame1000]

jaggedlittlepill100 Wow, the way you speak so negatively. No wonder you're broke! Keep working on yourself and learning as much as you can daily to dig yourself out of whatever hole you're in. Hoping for the best for you!

[@droptozro]

Do you budget and track your money? Start there if you don't. If you need further help learn how---the internet is full of free resources to learn almost anything.

[@effervescentrelief]

Doing well enough to watch this video and post. Cell phone? Unlimited data? Just saying. Try saving 5 a week. Start there.

[@fraupauer916]

Give it a try.... for most people living on a low budget Vicky' s words can be a blessing because they value their way of living.

[@yestohappiness2721]

Apparently the 2-3min she talked about it made you stop watching. It is such a beautiful and heartfelt and fully human talk - there is so much depth in it - a wonderful gift to all of us! I recommend people to stick to it till the end. I am very grateful for the whole of it.

[@raquelbeesley9885]

I disagree. There is a cost to consumerism, whether it be to you as a person or to the planet. Mindless consumption comes at a significant cost to our life energy and the environment. More is not better.
