Great Experience. Great Value.

Enjoy a great reading experience when you borrow the Kindle edition of this book with your Kindle Unlimited membership. Learn more about Great on Kindle, available in select categories.

In this book, we’ll be tackling the familiar challenges of personal finance management … but in an unfamiliar way.

If your main money problem is simply “I don’t have enough of it!” you may be surprised at the approach this book will take. Here, you will not find the same old tips and tricks on how to save money by re-using teabags or buying rice in bulk. Instead, we’ll get to the very heart of what money actually means, how we spend it and why, and what you can do to start using what you have right now to create a lifestyle that has meaning for you.

We’ll consider the root causes of careless spending, as well as the three biggest but largely invisible money myths we all believe in to some extent. We’ll then consider ways to start creating a budget that works for you and your goals, rather than against it.

The way you think about money is highly personal – your attitude to money is a reflection of your upbringing, your culture, your personality with all its virtues and shortcomings. Money can be a literal prison, tying you down to work and habits that drain you of motivation and purpose. It can also be a bridge that carries you to your life goals, a tool and a resource that allows you to access the things you truly value in life.

The role that money ultimately plays in your life is entirely up to you. It rests in having the self-awareness to be honest about the choices we make every day, in the bravery to know what we value and hold dear, and the dedication to make rational strategies to reach those goals.

My hope with this book is that it'll give you a starting point to begin to reconsider your relationship to money and, by extension, your relationship to yourself and the world you live in. My hope is that you'll find something that inspires you to think differently and make different choices, ones that will leave you feeling more in control and more fulfilled than before.

We each only have one life – here’s to spending it wisely!

Easy read/listen with a lot of great perspectives

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a great little book. I purchased it as an audio book on Audible and listened to it on my commute to and from work. It was only about an hour and 45 minutes in length, and it was easy to pick out the major points/lessons that the author was trying to make. It definitely gave me some new perspectives on money and has helped me to cut down on a lot of unnecessary spending. I have been trying to adopt a more minimalist lifestyle, and this book definitely jives with this philosophy. This book pairs well with Joshua Becker's books on living with less.

Not so shocking

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2022

Verified Purchase

While I can appreciate what the author was trying to convey, the spelling errors, the constant use of contractions, and overuse of "thing" and "things" were distractions.

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2018

Gave me a different mindset on money, never really thought about my values until now. Great book to change your money mindset

A book you can't afford to be without!

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book has a very long title: Dollars & No Sense: Why Are You Spending Your Money Like An Idiot? (Budgeting, Budgeting for Beginners, How to Save Money, Money Management, Personal Finance, Minimalist Living Book 1) Kindle Edition. It takes on a gargantuan task: asking you to re-evaluate money as it pertains to your life personally, culturally, and literally. It asks you to think differently so that you may set youself free of a burden that vexes many.

As Lindstrom says, "We each only have one life – here’s to spending it wisely!"

I couldn't believe it when all of a sudden I was reading the last pages of this book. It didn't cover the topic as fully as I expected.

The best book in budgeting I’ve EVER read!

You will not regret reading this book!
It’s so insightful I was optimistic about budgeting but felt so defeated. After reading this book not only do I feel empowered I also know that I will execute the suggestions listed because they are for my own good. Great book!

Great short book

Reviewed in Canada on January 28, 2023

Verified Purchase

Nowadays, people are struggling with money and nobody talks about it. If you don't do anything about it and inform yourself with books like this or ask for help, nobody is going to ask you or offer help. In other words, sometimes we need to find and read more great books like this one.
Other book from that I believe is from the same author and I also recommend is: minimalism

This author's writing is a delight to read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

He has gathered up the basic laws of prosperity and presented them in a very up-to-date, easy to understand style. For instance, I loved his way of showing how to connect values with the reasons for wanting money, and then adding a slight shock: so why are you buying that item, how long will it delight before it assumes junk status? I will be reading this again, it's worth another look, as well as buying other titles by this author. Oh yes, and what a treat to read an ebook with so few typing errors!

Common Sense

Reviewed in Canada on January 1, 2023

Verified Purchase

This book just mainly gets you to rethink the idea of money which most of it was common sense "think about how much time you trade to buy items, cut back on coffee etc." Book was also very short.

Reading is for fun

Sound money advice

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

I am normally very good when it comes to budgeting and making money go as far as possible but even I had to admit, when I found myself this month in the red (for the first time in a long while!) that I had a lot to learn from Simeon's tips and advice.

If you want to get your affairs in order this book is worth reading!
