will demand of all of us, each in his own way, a rapid expansion of our inner resources."

Your Money Or Your Life is a best-selling book by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin
about a nine-step program for personal financial transformation. Your Money Or Your Life also refers to a world of
nine-step program resources for changing the way you earn, spend and save money -- and help others do the same.
It is supported by the New Road Map Foundation.
By working the YMOYL program, Melissa and her husband paid back $58,000 in debt so that they
may work collectively on promoting sustainability. They are currently working on the last step of the program; achieving
financial independence. They live off the land with their organic garden and orchard in the neighborhood of Milwaukie/Oak
Grove and are making plans to remodel their small home to make it more self sustaining; including rainwater collection,
solar power and higher energy efficiency modifications.
While her husband Kelly works for Sustainable Northwest, Melissa has had the opportunity to work
in several different venues with the organization to support SNW’s important mission to help rural
communities and economies become more sustainable. Melissa is a published freelance writer and fine art photographer.
In her free time, Melissa wood carves, plays music, studies philosophy, and works on projects that promote sustainability.
Everything you need to make the YMOYL program work for
you -- and others -- is here.
