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

    Oh I would love to have this. It would be great to have all in one book. This is a wonderful idea. Would be a big help to know where your money went and get the big picture of how you handled your money.

    My goal this year is to sit down with my DH and set up a budget and some real goals. We always talk generally about what we want to do, but haven’t really really planned. Thanks for the chance to win this book.

    My financial goals this year are to reduce debt and establish a savings. My fiance has been laid off for almost 2 years now and is working for a fraction of his old wages, we’ve improved how we handle finances but we could do better.

    My financial goals in 2010 are to eliminate at least 1/2 our debt and establish some savings, even if just a little each month.

    My financial goal for 2010 is to build up a 3 to 6 month emergency fund and to pay down one third of my credit card debt.

    My financial goals for this year are to make a plan and use it to make great progress towards lowering/eliminating my family debt. After a rough year with the IRS this would be most helpful.

    Financial goals for 2010 are very simple … keep the mortgage paid, electricity turned on, and food on the table. Anything beyond that at this point is unrealistic.

    My goal this year is to pay off those nasty credit cards! I want to get debt free to set a better example for my daughter.
