A classic, and one of the foundation books for the simplicity movement. The authors play off the concept “time is money” in a very literal sense. They encourage readers to sort out priorities, to cut expenses, and then to seek passive income in pursuit of financial independence. Your Money or Your Life is a little New Age-y in spots, but is excellent nonetheless. It’s had a huge influence on many modern personal-finance writers — including me.
