Your Money or Your Life

by Neil Cavuto

As the host of Fox News Channel's Your World with Neil Cavuto and Cavuto on Business , Neil Cavuto reports on today's most influential business leaders and newsmakers. His great talent is to get beneath the issues, connecting people to the events that define them and changing the way that Americans think about their money. Ending each show with a provocative, insightful commentary, Cavuto stirs people to see the world in a new light, calling on them to think beyond the stories at hand and challenging people to reevaluate the world that they live in. In Your Money or Your Life , Cavuto compiles the best of these commentaries in one volume, creating a collection that is at once witty, thought-provoking, and inspiring. Covering a variety of topics—from remembering life before 9/11, to providing tips for empty nesters—Cavuto presents a wry yet evocative look at our world, one that speaks to the heart of the American condition. Spanning one of the most tumultuous decades in memory—from the wild and chaotic Clinton years through the sobering challenges of the War on Terror—Cavuto's words offer a window into our America at its best and its worst.

I was trying to find another book by the same name and accidentally picked this up from the library. Way to get out of my bubble. Wow. I've never encountered a book this terrible before.

I read this by mistake. The book I wanted has the same title but different author. By the time I realized my mistake, I figured I'd finish this anyway.
The author is a level-headed guy with a lot of wisdom and opinions to share. I appreciated his take on many situations.

I love Neil Cavuto. I think he is smart, sensible, friendly and witty. This book is a compilation of some of his commentaries from 1996 to 2005. It was like a walk back in time. We had so many highs and oh so many lows in this world during those years. It was interesting to see his perspective on any given day. Just his world view pre and then post 911 were insightful. We all hold our views differently but then SOMETHING HAPPENS and we all shift our world view in a massive way. Interesting to look back.

Not what I expected, but not bad! I was thinking this was a finance book. It is more like storytelling or reading events that were journaled over the years. My takeaway … life is more important than the money you earn.

Wow, what in the flying f**k is this book? I came 10% until I threw it in the metaphorical trash bin.

Are you looking for the finance book? This is not it... Search for Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez.

i read this book by accident- a friend recommended a different book with the same title- and it was a terrible, terrible accident. this was so incredibly obnoxious i had to quit halfway through.

I have never read anything by this author before so did not know what to expect. I was afraid that it would be so conservative that I would have trouble reading it, but I was surprised and pleasantly so. He has compiled his messages from his program in a way that are at least interesting and revealing.

There are some good points in the book and you learn more about Cavuto than I knew before.

All in all I am heppy to have read this book though I may not read another by the same author.

This is a compilation of Neil Cavuto's "Common Sense" portion of his TV program over the years 1996-2004. As a result, there is a great deal of common sense to be considered in the book, but there is also a lot of repetition of the same themes. Nevertheless, I enjoyed his commentary on the things in life that are important to him and the ways in which he deals with people with whom he disagrees. His upbeat approach to life is admirable.

So I originally thought this was another book when I got it...it turns out that they both have the same title...

This was an interesting book put together by a Fox news writer/commentator. It seems like it was a bunch of excerpts from essays that he wrote a while ago. He has a funny sense of humor, but I finished the book not exactly knowing what point Cavuto was trying to make.
