Make Money, Not Excuses

A colleague recommended Jean Chatzky’s book Make Money, Not Excuses. “If you want to get rich, you need only do four things:

1. Make a decent living
2. Spend less than you make
3. Invest the money you don’t spend
4. Protect the financial world you build so that a disaster doesn’t take it all away from you

Sounds easy, I know. So why, then, is it so hard, particularly for women?”

Do yourself a favor and add Jean Chatzky to your reading list for 2012. If your local library doesn’t have Chatzky’s books, request that they order them. http://www.jeanchatzky.com/books/make-money-not-excuses/

Check out her blog at: http://www.jeanchatzky.com/. The blog post on “financial infidelity” sounds intriguing!
