Joe Dominguez was a former Wall Street stock-market analyst who quit the rat race and co-wrote the best seller "Your Money or Your Life," a bible of the living-simply movement.
Mr. Dominguez was born in New York City in 1938, attended Bronx High School of Science and City College of New York. In 1969, he had a sufficient nest egg to quit his paid employment.
"Your Money or Your Life," with co-author Vicki Robin, was published in 1992 and outlined a nine-step program for changing attitudes about earning and spending money. The book has sold more than half-a-million copies in English, has been translated into Dutch and soon will be available in German, Spanish and French.
At the time of his death, Mr. Dominguez was living on about $6,000 a year.
Mr. Dominguez died on January 11, 1997 at his Seattle home of lymphoma. He was not married and had no surviving relatives.
