Más información sobre el libro

Jean Chatzky has been guiding viewers of NBC’s Today show on how to escape debt permanently. Her straightforward yet impactful method revolves around saving just $10 a day, which many people currently waste. This small amount—equivalent to a movie ticket or a fast-food lunch—can lead to significant financial change over a few years. Since it feels achievable, individuals are more likely to adhere to her plan compared to more drastic spending cutbacks. Chatzky emphasizes the importance of addressing debt, as it poses a major threat to financial well-being. The average American family carries sixteen credit cards and over $8000 in high-rate debt, excluding car loans and mortgages, resulting in more than $1000 spent annually on interest alone. This burden often leads to feelings of depression and insecurity, hindering the ability to invest in essential life goals such as education, retirement, and homeownership. As a leading personal finance expert, Chatzky communicates in relatable language, providing readers with immediate, practical strategies to manage their finances without sacrificing enjoyment. Through real-life examples from her Today show series, her approach can empower debtors to transform their financial futures and achieve wealth.
