Talking Money: Everything You Need to Know about Your Finances and Your Future

(Jean Chatzky, featured columnist for Money "RM" magazine ...)

Jean Chatzky, featured columnist for Money "RM" magazine and USA Weekend magazine, and a regular contributor to NBC's Today show, unleashes her winning strategies for effective money management, including: -- getting the little problems under control so the larger picture can quickly fall into place -- cutting the interest paid on one credit card to reduce the interest accruing on remaining cards, and to also reduce the interest paid on mortgages or home equity loans -- filling a portfolio and allocating the assets as easily as picking stocks and mutual funds -- and more. Using simple, time-honored methods, Chatzky tells listeners that accomplishing short term goals more quickly allows them to find the money to take that needed vacation or buy that new car, as well as achieving larger goals, like financing college tuition, retirement, or caring for aging parents.

The Difference: How Anyone Can Prosper in Even The Toughest Times

(Can you really start from nothing and become truly secure...)

Can you really start from nothing and become truly secure financially? What’s the difference between you and Warren Buffett? Between you and your boss? Or between you and your successful neighbor? What do the financially comfortable have that you don’t? It’s not that those people were born into money, caught a lucky break, or have an Ivy League education. It’s not even that they are smarter than you or make more money than you do each year. So what do they have that you don’t . . . at least not yet? What’s The Difference? Trusted financial coach Jean Chatzky shares the secrets her groundbreaking research of the self-made wealthy has uncovered so that anyone can break through the barriers that stand between them and true financial freedom. Find out why it’s important to: • Get happy, but not too happy • Do what you love, but don’t quit your day job • Read every day • Remember that failure is not an option–it’s a necessity • Harness your intuition to take risks that make sense • Practice the Kevin Bacon Principle–make connections • Say thank you–and mean it • Make your money work as hard as you do Through candid interviews and a study of more than five thousand people, Jean reveals the traits and habits of those who have moved from the lowest economic strata to the highest. The Difference helps you take a look at where you are now and offers simple strategies for going where you want to go. The Difference, you’ll see, is within you: You have the power to determine your financial future and achieve the next level of wealth. From the Hardcover edition.

Talking Money

(Today everyone is talking about money: how to spend it, h...)

Today everyone is talking about money: how to spend it, how to save it, and how to invest it. But how much of this wall-to-wall money talk really makes sense? And how much of it has anything to do with you? Now one of America's best known and most trusted personal finance experts brings her down-to-earth style to an audiobook for real people with real issues about money. The bad news is that many of us just don't "get" money - or our own financial situations. The good news, says Jean, is that "there is very little about money that can't be explained in terms of sixth-grade math and plain English." Here Jean uses her personal experience and professional knowledge to explain everything from credit to equity, bond funds to college savings plans. When it comes to money talk, getting started is the hardest step of all. By the time you've finished Talking Money, you'll really know what you're talking about - and the extra money in your pocket will speak for itself.

The Ten Commandments of Financial Happiness: Feel Richer with What You've Got

(Millions of Americans have turned to Jean Chatzky for fin...)

Millions of Americans have turned to Jean Chatzky for financial advice, thanks to her weekly appearances on NBC's Today and her column in Money magazine. Now, in The Ten Commandments of Financial Happiness (published in hardcover as You Don't Have to Be Rich), she analyzes the results of a unique survey in which she questioned 1,500 Americans about their financial attitudes and behaviors. She looks at how much money people actually do need to guarantee a happy, comfortable life. And gets down to the nitty-gritty, isolating behaviors that—if adopted—can significantly improve a life. The results of this proprietary survey—conducted with the help of the Roper Center—are remarkable. Chatzky found that while a certain amount of money buys comfort, money can't make you happy—at least not in the way most people believe it can. But it can make you miserable, if you're managing it wrong. That's why it's time to make a change. In her frank, engaging style, Chatzky explains how to "own your money" to create a happy and comfortable life. She outlines the financial habits of happy people and shows how anyone can be a part of this group, no matter what they earn. Filled with fresh insights and real life examples, The Ten Commandments of Financial Happiness reaffirms that finances don't have to be a source of stress and that living within your means can be extremely rewarding.

Jean Chatzky has heard all the excuses for why women don’t deal with their finances. She used to make them herself. For the first time, Jean tells you how she made every financial mistake in the book—not paying her bills, going into credit card debt, letting her 401(k) lapse—before finally making the decision to take control of her money and her future. Whether you’ve made these mistakes or you want to avoid them, if you’re ready to take charge of your financial life then this is the book for you. In it, Jean shares these valuables lessons: • Where to start • How to decode financial jargon (it’s easier than you think) • How to get over your “I’m not smart enough to deal with money” feelings • Why being a “good-enough investor” will make you more money in the long-term (while trying to be a “great investor” will drive you crazy) • Why you might think you are bad at math, and why that doesn’t have to be true • How (and where) to save your money • Why women make better investors—and higher returns—than men Jean is famous for her ability to explain money and investing. In a clear and accessible way, she breaks down all the scariest parts of dealing with money—from investing in stocks to saving for your retirement—to make them doable, easy, and yes, even enjoyable.
