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 really want to get organized and stick to it. One other goal is to pay off some bills and get into keeping up on what all needs to be paid before they get way behind, but I need help. Thanks, Kim

Our financial goals for 2010 were to create a budget (we did!) and to stick to it (we’re trying!). We did great paying off debt last year, so this year we’re focused on even less debt and more savings!
Thanks, Tara!
Faith
I’ve been a fan of Jean’s forever it seems. Or maybe that’s just how long it seems we’ve been in debt. My goal for 2010 is not to let it stop me from enjoying all the other wonderful things in my life. I am able to pay down our debts a little at a time and still enjoy my many, many blessings that do not cost a cent!! Thanks!!
Julie G
My financial goals are to pay off a couple small credit cards, start a “rainy day” fund and learn how to budget my money better. I think this is a fabulous giveaway that is really going to help someone.. Thank You!!
MELINDA
My goal is to make an additional principle payment on our mortgage every month. I plan on doing this by eliminating buying coffee on my way to work and then again while at work. I have been making it at home and then taking a thermos to work with me. I have also learned how to make bread. I make several loaves on my day off and freeze them. I have not had to buy bread in months and my kids love it. It really saves on buying lunch. I have a large family so even little things like this really add up quick.
