Make Money, Not Excuses
Summary
Get rich, don’t bitch “I don’t have time to deal with my money.” “Managing money and investing is too intimidating.” “I’m not a numbers person.” “My husband takes care of our finances.” “I’m just not good with money.” 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. (From the Introduction)

AgeProof
Summary
Two of the world's leading experts explain the vital link between health and wealth that could add years to your life and dollars to your retirement savings. All the money in the world doesn't mean a thing if we can't get out of bed. And the healthiest body in the world won't stay that way if we're frazzled about five figures' worth of debt. Today show financial expert Jean Chatzky and the Cleveland Clinic's chief wellness officer, Dr. Michael Roizen, explain the vital connection between health and wealth - giving listeners all the tactics, strategies, and know-how to live longer, healthier, more lucrative lives. The same principles that allow us to achieve better bodies will allow us to do the same for our investment portfolios. For instance, physical and financial stability comes down to the same equation: inflow versus outflow. Do we burn more calories than we ingest? Likewise, are we making more money than we spend? The authors detail scientific ways to improve behavior so that the answers tilt in the listener's favor. They also offer ways to beat the system by automating how we do things and limiting our decisions in the face of too much food or too much debt. Chatzky and Roizen provide a plan for both financial independence and biological strength with action steps to get you there.

Women with Money
Summary
Women have more money - and power - than ever before. So why are we still so conflicted, and unsure, of what or how to deal with it? Today Show financial editor and best-selling author Jean Chatzky provides the much-needed answers in Women with Money. Ask successful women what they want from their money and they'll tell you: independence, security, choices, a better world, and - oh yes - way less stress, not just for themselves but for their kids, partners, parents, and friends. Through a series of Happy Hour discussions (when money is the topic, wine helps) and one-on-one conversations, Jean Chatzky gets women to open up about the one topic we still never talk about. Then she flips the script and charts a pathway to this joyful, purpose-filled life that today's women not only want but also, finally, have the resources to afford. Chatzky's candid three-part plan - formed through detailed reporting with the world's top economists, psychiatrists, behaviorists, financial planners, and attorneys, as well as her own two decades of experience in the field - involves helping women understand themselves in relation to money. Listeners will wrap their hands around tactical solutions to get paid what they deserve, become inspired to start businesses, invest for tomorrow, make their money last, and then use that money to foster secure relationships, raise independent and confident children, send those kids to college, care for their aging parents, leave a legacy, and - best of all - bring them joy!
