Reader’s had enough… of Enough

Your Money or Your Life October 9, 2009 October 9, 2009

Finally I’m controversial enough to have drawn friendly fire. A reader challenged “Enough” as a Trojan Horse for the a “Green/we are not sustainable” political agenda, and “More” not caused by the consumer culture, but by a deep fear of extinction in the competitive battle …

How much is enough email?

Your Money or Your Life October 5, 2009 October 5, 2009

Really now…even asking this question via email is absurd.  At the risk of one email too many, I want to tell you about the last free teleclass on “Your Enough Point.” It was a taste of things to come for those who take the 4-week …

Thank you David Brooks for naming the need for an ethic of “enough”

Your Money or Your Life September 29, 2009 September 29, 2009

David Brooks and I don’t always see eye to eye, but his Oped in the NYTimes today is a ten. In The Next Culture War he speaks pragmatically and strongly for the moral imperative of material restraint – a stand that will make strange (and …

Oops, burned through our allowance, again

Your Money or Your Life September 26, 2009 September 26, 2009

Your Money or Your Life helps you live within your means. Below your means, really, so you liberate yourself from debt, excess and overwork. Did you know, though, that our collective human consumption has an “enough point” – a limit of spending beyond which more …

New Economy and New Normal

Your Money or Your Life September 20, 2009 September 20, 2009

We’re going to be writing in months to come about the dinosaur economy (dying out but still dangerous) and the new economy, the shape of things to come, as described in a recent article (link below). Disoriented and scared, many people are madly looking for …

Financial Independence reconsidered

Your Money or Your Life September 10, 2009 September 10, 2009

Financial independence – ahhh, what a dream! Doing as you please, not as you must. Having all the money you need without needing a job. Travel. Adventure. Relaxation. Time to write that book you’ve been thinking about for years. Well, I’ve been there and done …

What is your “enough point”?

Your Money or Your Life September 9, 2009 September 9, 2009

Goldilocks was right. There’s a place of pleasure where things aren’t too hot, aren’t too cold, but just right. That “just rightness” is available to us in every domain of life, but it takes practice. Lots of it in a culture that says nothing and …

My doc’s retirement dilemma

Your Money or Your Life September 8, 2009 September 8, 2009 1 comment

I went to the doc yesterday (nothing serious) and it became something of a confessional during my treatment. Hearing I’d written Your Money or Your Life he at first was dismissive (oh i read all those money books), then curious, then confessional. He’s been a …

What is enough? Part 3: meaningful work

Your Money or Your Life September 5, 2009 September 5, 2009

How could there be an “enough point” with meaningful work?  Isn’t that what we all want – especially if it lifts your income as well as your spirits? Yet many activists for worthy causes burn out. We work too many hours, often in front of …
