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

    I lost my job back in Nov, so now we pay cash for everything. I have started a Christmas Club account at the bank for $10 a week. When I go to the grocery store I add up my coupons, what I save in coupons I put that money away in a jar. I hope by June to have enough money to take my family on a day trip.

    I would love to payoff my husband’s car and then work on paying off our house. I know it’s possible, just need some guidance!

    I am trying to reduce our overall credit card debt which is about $6000, while trying to build an emergency savings. I heard about Jean before and would be thrilled to win this prize as an aid to reach our goals.

    One of our financial goals is to buy a “new” used truck with cash to replace our pickup with 200,000 miles on it. We are over halfway there!
