Do you have to be rich to be happy?
Would being richer make you happier?
Does money buy happiness? Not the sort of questions you usually hear from a personal
finance expert, especially one as popular and respected as
Jean Chatzky, of Money magazine and The Today Show. But in
these difficult times, when many of her fans are struggling
with job insecurity, declining investments, and fear of the
future, Chatzky decided to write a different kind of
personal finance book. Instead of just explaining what to
do with your 401(k), she set out to explore the big
picture: what makes a happy, successful life and how much
money you really need to have one. Chatzky's research led her to some astounding results. Her
groundbreaking survey of thousands of Americans, conducted
with the help of the Roper Organization, revealed that more
often than not, the amount of money people make-whether
it's $50,000 or $5,000, 000 a year-- has little bearing on
how happy they are. In fact, Chatzky found that unless
you're desperately poor, money can't make you happy. But it
can-if you're handling it wrong -make you miserable. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE RICH reveals what the happiest people
in America have in common when it comes to managing their
money, and what the rest of us can learn from them. For
instance, they have distinctly different habits and
behaviors about things you might consider minor, such as
how often you pay your bills, and what you do with your
bank statement when it arrives in the mail (hint: shoving
it unopened into the desk drawer isn't a good idea.) As Chatzky explains, just because your investments have
slumped doesn't mean you should give up on saving,
investing, and financial planning. A comfortable, secure
life is still well within your reach. Guided by the research, Chatzky offers clear-cut strategies
that you can implement to help you feel more in control of
your money. They will help you spend smartly, eliminate
your debts and both set and reach your financial goals, Be
prepared to take a good hard look at your money habits. A
questionnaire in every chapter will show you where your
money management tactics are serving you well, and where
they fall short. Then you'll be able to use the answers to
improve your financial habits and ratchet up your happiness
a notch or two.
