passe dans son tordeur une quarantaine de sujets avec perspicacité et humour, cette question toute simple invite à revoir toutes les décisions qui ont un effet direct sur notre compte de banque. Au Québec, l'analphabétisme financier et la consommation à outrance influent négativement sur l'existence de chacun. Pour aider à voir les choses d'un oeil neuf, En as-tu vraiment besoin? place un miroir réaliste devant nos choix de vie et leurs conséquences. L'auteur y remet en question notre façon de dépenser et insiste sur la nécessité de se construire une marge de manoeuvre financière. Cette lecture ne laissera personne indifférent. Pierre-Yves McSween parle d'argent sans filtre et sans tabou, comme on ne l'a jamais fait auparavant dans un livre sur le sujet. Il propose de brillants mécanismes d'autodéfense contre la société de consommation et la naïveté financière. Avec deux grands objectifs en tête: définir le comportement d'un citoyen responsable financièrement; puis, donner au lecteur, enfin, un peu plus de cette liberté dont il a vraiment, tellement, carrément besoin. 2016.
