ABOUT THE BOOK

What if you could do what you're passionate about and achieve a work-life balance? What if you were relieved of the pressure to have some massive amount saved?

Retiring while you work is possible no matter your level of wealth. In his book, The Currency of Time, author David Adams introduces his three buckets of life approach to create fluid life financial plans, not emergency retirement quitting plans. Using the three buckets approach will help you feel more free, joyful, and fulfilled.

We can all find joy in the journey of life while still satisfying our ambitions, goals, health, and personal and spiritual lives. Adams teaches us that if we learn to prioritize living life while also planning for the future, we can find the kind of work-life balance that fuels dreams.

TESTIMONIALS

CARLY KEAR

Celebrity Life Coach

Finally, a book that looks at money from the viewpoint of time and the important things in life. A relatable and pleasant journey through a usually tough concept.

Scott Curtis

President, Raymond James Financial Services, Inc.

David’s thought-provoking book encourages and challenges readers to think differently about preparing for and enjoying a more fulfilling life – prior to and once in retirement – rather than becoming obsessed with achieving a future financial objective prior to retiring. David recommends a healthier, more balanced approach by prioritizing life experiences during our working years. I applaud David’s refreshing perspective and expect readers will appreciate this non-traditional approach to how we think about “retirement.”

A must-read for anyone searching for the balance between saving money and living their best life. Such a fresh perspective on leading from heart – something this country is longing for.
