When you think of money management and investing, do you feel fear, anxiety, or boredom? Does the idea of it overwhelm you? Do you secretly hope that someone else will handle it? Perhaps you even think it’s too late to start saving for retirement? If so, you’re certainly not alone. In her book Make Money Not Excuses: Wake Up, Take Charge, and Overcome Your Financial Fears Forever, money management guru, Jean Chatzky gets straight to the core of the common excuses women make for not managing money and why. In Make Money Not Excuses, Chatzky highlights the four things you must do to get rich. Chatzky explores what’s behind compulsive shopping, outlines a “debt-diet,” shows you how to start saving, and reveals the perk that will come from “stepping up and starting to deal with your money.” Chatzky highlights real world examples of new behaviors you can take toward creating wealth. Chatzky explores the dynamics of money between men and women, common money fights, and provides action items to help strengthen the bonds between you and your spouse/significant other.
