Synopsis

In Love Your Life, Not Theirs, Rachel Cruze shines a spotlight on the most damaging money habit we have: comparing ourselves to others. Then she unpacks seven essential money habits for living the life we really want--a life in line with our values, where we can afford the things we want to buy without being buried under debt, stress, and worry. The Joneses are broke. Life looks good, but hidden beneath that glossy exterior are credit card bills, student loans, car payments, and an out-of-control mortgage. Their money situation is a mess, and they're trying to live a life they simply can't afford. So why exactly do we try so hard to keep up with the Joneses? Are we really living the lives we want, or are we chasing someone else's dream, just trying to keep up appearances on social media, at church, and in our community? Why are we letting other people set the pace for our own family's finances? In Love Your Life, Not Theirs, Rachel shows you how to buy and do the things that are important to you--the right way. That starts by choosing to quit the comparisons, reframing the way you think about money, and developing new habits like avoiding debt, living on a plan, watching your spending, saving for the future, having healthy conversations about money, and giving. These habits work, and Rachel is living proof. Now, she wants to empower you to live the life you've always dreamed of without creating the debt, stress, and worry that are all too often part of the deal. Social media isn't real life, and trying to keep up with the Joneses will never get you anywhere. It's time to live--and love--your life, not theirs.

This was a quick read and kept me captivated. However, my critique is that I went into this book expecting there to be more on the subject of comparison, and "living your life, not theirs," and I feel as though the majority of this book reiterated Dave Ramsey's baby steps in Rachel's words. I'm a li......more

Goodreads review by Crystal on October 04, 2016

I am a huge Dave Ramsey fan. I think I have read all of his books. I was worried that this book would contain much of the same and nothing new. I was wrong! I'll admit--when I first picked up the book, I started reading with the attitude of what can this sweet woman in her late twenties teach me, so......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on October 13, 2016

Though I appreciated the solid financial advice given in Rachel's new book, if you are a Ramsey follower there really isn't much new information here - at all. I did love the first chapter on quitting the comparisons, but wish she would have focused on that topic and flushed it out a bit more. Other......more

Following in her father's footsteps, Rachel has taken the lead in this new book. In this book, you will find a mixture of Dave's tenacious money smart advice mixed with Rachel's winsome personality. This is a must read for any millennial looking to win with money.......more

Goodreads review by Ginny on June 13, 2017

Cruze is all about getting away from comparison. The chapter about being "#blessed" was the best thing I've read in a long time. Freeing one's mind from the dangerous game of comparison, especially in terms of money, was the biggest benefit I got out of reading this book. But, I have some serious is......more
