Self-Help
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. She also includes
throughout a "Map to a Million," great tips on easy and
quick financial changes you can make immediately . . . that
really add up!
Are You Ready to Be Rich?
If you want to get rich, if you want to be wealthier than
you are today, you really need to do only four things.
That's right, just four things. * You need to make a decent living
* You need to spend less than you make
* You need to invest the money you don't spend so that
it can work as hard for you as you're working for yourself
* And you need to protect yourself and this financial
world you've built so that a disaster--big or small--doesn't
take it all away from you
Everything else is just window-dressing. The fees--and how
to avoid them. The advisors--and how to hire them. The
deals. The scams. The ins. The outs. They are all
interesting. Some of them are even quite important. But
until you have conquered the heart of the matter, they are
all minutia.
The four cornerstones, by contrast, are the meat and
potatoes of your financial life. If you do those things
today, you'll start getting rich tomorrow. And once you feel
set financially, you'll be able to start focusing on the
truly important things in life.
