Financial Advice from Jean Chatzky

in General, Self Help

Occasionally I’ll write about something (or someone) on one of my blogs that I’m so jazzed up about that I’ll syndicate the post on another one of the blogs – If it’s good stuff, I’m not above re-runs!

I posted earlier this morning on Office Freaks about an exciting and brilliant author , Jean Chatzky.

She has appeared on talk shows from Oprah to Regis, and has written for Time, USA Weekend Magazine, Forbes, New York Magazine, Working Woman, and countless other publications.  She has also written several amazing bestsellers.  The lady knows her stuff, and we’d all do well to take notes.  Below is a little sampling of her knowledge….

By actually doing something over and over again, like reducing your spending in an effort to save, you’ll gain a feeling of accomplishment — even power. That’s why it’s so important to do just what will help you conquer what’s getting you down when you find yourself feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by something. When you’re feeling fat, for instance, you should hit the StairMaster instead of the refrigerator. And when you’re feeling poor, you should sit down with a pad of paper and figure out just how much your new habits are saving you. Saving two dollars a day by walking to work rather than taking the bus may not sound like much, but it adds up to more than $500 a year. Once you write it down, focus on how the accomplishment makes you feel. Concentrating on the change will make you feel energized. Think of it as insurance for how you’ll behave tomorrow.

If you take your eager-to-learn self to her website, Jean Chatzky.com, you can see more AND can subscribe to her newsletter.  It’s worth more than it costs.

Have an unbelievable Saturday!
