Win-It Wednesday: Financial Tools from Jean Chatzky (2 Winners!)

by 529 Comments

Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday. I’ll be posting several 24-hour giveaways throughout the day to give you plenty of chances to win!

Jean Chatzky Pay It Down

Back in November I had the pleasure of participating in an audiocast with the Today Show financial expert, Jean Chatzky, author of Pay It Down! Debt Free on $10 a Day. Not only did she share some really great tips on spending and saving for the holidays, but she gave us the inside scoop on her new line of financial planning products from Franklin Covey that are now available in Target stores across the nation.

  • The Monthly Budget Kit will allow you to track and manage all your spending for the entire year. There’s a tracking sheet and pocket for each month so you’ll always have a record of your expenses, bills, and receipts.
  • The Get-Out-Of-Debt Kit comes with helpful debt reduction tips from Jean Chatzky, and tracking sheets and pockets for six separate items, so you can track all your debt in one simple 3-ring binder.
  • The Savings Kit includes great savings tips from Jean Chatzky, clear sleeves to hold the images of what you’re saving for, and tracking sheets and pockets for six separate items, so you can track all your goals in one simple 3-ring binder.
  • Plus the To Buy List makes determining the difference between needs and wants and reasons for each manageable. There’s even a section to keep track of coupon savings!

But I think what I like best about these products is that they’re really geared towards women with their needs and thought processes in mind. They’re attractive, yet not overly feminine, and can be easily customized to fit your overall financial strategy.

Two lucky Deal Seeking Mom readers will each win a set of Jean Chatzky financial planning tools:

  • Pay It Down! by Jean Chatzky
  • Needs & Wants To Buy List
  • Monthly Budget Kit
  • Get-Out-Of-Debt Kit
  • Savings Kit

    My financial goals for 2010 include getting better about sticking to my budget each month, building my savings and lowering my debt. Lofty goals, I know, but I’m counting each small step as a success.

    My financial goals are to save more and spend less. I’ve also been selling items on ebay that we no longer need. My goal is to pay for a much-needed family vacation just be getting rid of stuff we don’t need!

    my financial goal for 2010 is to save $2,500 towards a down payment for our very own home. We were one of the unfortunate ones who lost our home in the great foreclosure landslide two years ago and with two little boys growing up we need a home of our own.

    My family has been debt free for a few years now, but with year 2010 here we have set a goal to put more money to saving for our kids college funds, our retirement funds, and I included vacation funds… everytime we go shopping with our coupons I automatically tranfer the saving from the coupons to our “future” accounts… it is dollars here and cents there, but man it has added up quickly in just a month!!!! It is now a game we play as a family! Saving and teaching our kids how to save as well!!! Thank you!
