Your Money or Your Life
Part and parcel with changing my life path is working on simplifying my life. Looking at life beyond a weekly paycheck means I need to analyze my resources and work on being more mindful of how I use those resources, especially my money.
I am currently reading a revolutionary book Your Money or Your Life. The author, Joe Dominguez, spent a long time analyzing how much energy goes into that paycheck we get from our jobs. His story is pretty amazing-- he was a stockbroker who decided he wanted his life to be more than his job. By careful use of his resources, he was able to retire in his early 30s and by the end of his life, he was living on $3000 a year. He is one of my new path heroes!
