I found the questions asked in this book to be thought provoking in terms of how we spend our money and what is the maximum happiness we could be getting per dollar spent. However, this book has a definite religious / conservative lean to it. Spoiler: the author doesn’t think retirement is the best idea, and questions the idea that a larger family = necessarily more expensive. Some of the justifications for increasing family size in spite of increasing costs including testimonials from kids of large families about always having support and never feeling alone, which therefore makes a larger family priceless. This is far fetched IMO and content like this, along with quoting scripture as a reason to donate, sprinkled throughout the book, made it lose some credibility for me given the author’s bias. However, I still think it’s worth a read due to the thought provoking questions asked throughout the book that make you hone in on how you could be maximizing the joy out of the money you have.
