The Number One Enemy of Your Finances? Yes, Those Innocuous Gadgets, Cars, Toys & Lil' Plastic Credit Cards Rather Uninnocuously Piling Up Your Debt. "Pay It Down!" Says Finance & Money Expert Jean Chatzky. You Can Do It. FASHIONTRIBES BOOK BLOG
From Debt to Wealth on $10 a Day the rest of the title promises. Really? According to Chatzky, the average American family:
- has 16 - yes 16! - credit cards
- more than $8000 worth of debt
By saving $10 each day for the next 3 years, the author can help you become debt-free.
The first step is getting your credit score - and understanding it as well as knowing how to improve it - followed by figuring out exactly where your money is going. Then she demonstrates innovative ways to find that $10 each day:
- eliminate the cost of your wireless devices, such as a Palm Pilot
- refinance your car loan
- hold a garage sale
- lower your interest rates
And once you've reached debt-free nirvana, she shows you how to stay that way. Full of inspiring examples of others who came out from under a mountain of debt, this book is a rare find in the self help genre in that it actually lives up to promise. Amazon.com
