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

In January I decided it was time to somehow put together all our financial information…how to do it ? It would be great to have these tools and get everything in order. I think it would make finances seem more manageable.

You have no idea how badly I need this set! I love Jean Chatzky – she has some great ideas. My husband and I have been trying to pay down our debt since last March (when I learned about couponing). We’re making progress, but still have a long way to go.

My goal is to be able to fly out to see my baby grandson as much as possible w/out neglecting the things that need to be taken care of (like tires and auto transmissions!) and not forgetting to plan for the future!
Erika
My goal is to save more, spend less and focus on activities for the family rather than obtaining more “stuff”.
Krista
Our financial goals for 2010 are to set up (and stick to) a budget, pay off our two credit cards and one of the auto loans, and make a dent in the other auto bill and other debts. We would love to pay off 1/3 or more of our debt, while creating an emergency fund. I would also love to start teaching our young children (5 & 2) basic money concepts, mainly through watching Mommy & Daddy establishing good goals.
