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!
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 subscribe via email to this website. My goal this year (and each month) is to get out of and STAY out of debt! This means I have to be more prudent in my spending. I will start by doing some of the tips I have found here!
Christina
Work less, owe less and save more.

Our goal is to be debt free except the house by the end of the year (should be sooner actually). Been doing Dave Ramsey for 4 years now. But I did see jeans items at Target and was interested, thanks for a chance to win!

I belong to DSM’s forum!
Sue
Last year we got hit with a $9,000 tax bill, even though we had taxes held out of our checks. My credit card has a lower interest rate than the government’s plan, so we charged it. I want that paid off this year!
Stacey
My financial goals this year are to live within my means – period.

My goal for 2010 is to work our way out of debt and save more!
lynne
My main goals financially are: repay the money I took out of my savings to repairs, improvements to my house. Look for other ways to supplement my income. There is a very real chance that I may lose my job of 30 years due to cuts in education–I am hoping to learn some new skills & be open to accepting change.
Stephanie
I would like to pay 1/3 if not more than our credit card debt. I am also in the process of setting up a budget for us, to see if we can free up some more money to put towards our debt. I also want us to start up a savings account. I hope I win this as I don’t own any budget books, I have been checking them out of the library and then having to return them and recheck out when they become available again. So this would be a great help to me in helping my family accomplish our financial goals. Thanks for the great giveaways, they get me excited that maybe I will win:)
