Jean Chatzky Quotes

Unlike other loans, a reverse mortgage doesn’t have to be repaid until the borrower moves out of the home or passes away Picture Quote #1

It’s not about having it all. It’s about having what you value most Picture Quote #1

July is high burglary season because so many people leave town. To help avoid making that obvious, suspend your newspaper subscription and have your mail held. Another clear indication is if all your lights are off for an extended period. To fix that, you can buy a timer for about $30 Picture Quote #1

By the time most people file for bankruptcy, their credit is already trashed, they have a high debt-to-income ratio - a key indicator lenders look at - and they’ve likely defaulted on more than a few accounts Picture Quote #1

Wills are trumped by legal titles to real estate or beneficiary designations on financial accounts, retirement plans and insurance policies Picture Quote #1

One way to make sure you don’t lose assets in the future is to streamline your accounts. Consider using one bank for all your banking needs and one brokerage firm for all your investments Picture Quote #1

I’m big on setting goals, but I also think that if you have too many lofty ambitions and set goals for everything, you can sabotage your efforts by overextending your brain Picture Quote #1

If you decide you need a secured card, use it to charge small items every month, then pay the balance off in full. If your credit score improves, and the bank doesn’t offer to upgrade your card within 12 to 18 months, give them a call. If they refuse, try another lender Picture Quote #1

If you haven’t gotten a raise in the past couple years for a job well done, it might be time to ask for one Picture Quote #1

If you want to give a tangible present, but you know the recipient wants cash, give a little bit of both. This strategy is helpful for occasions that involve a public opening of presents, like a bridal or baby shower. You can give something that can be wrapped and opened, along with a card containing a check Picture Quote #1

Debt certainly isn’t always a bad thing. A mortgage can help you afford a home. Student loans can be a necessity in getting a good job. Both are investments worth making, and both come with fairly low interest rates Picture Quote #1

You may be basing a portion of your self-worth on your bank account without even realizing it. Try to pinpoint the activities and qualities that, free of charge, fulfill you Picture Quote #1

Weak passwords are a crook’s best friend. Make yours long and complex, and change them often - not just on your bank account but on your email and social media, too Picture Quote #1

Web banking lets you monitor your spending, tweak your budget, schedule payments, and more, particularly if you marry your online bank with the personal-finance management tools available online Picture Quote #1

Use visual cues to prompt yourself to put away more. A photograph of the beach house where you and your husband can envision spending your retirement will remind you to bump up the contribution to your 401(k); a snapshot of your child in a college sweatshirt can encourage you to put more into a 529 college savings plan Picture Quote #1

Every minute you spend looking through clutter, wondering where you put this or that, being unable to focus because you’re not organized costs you: time you could have spent with family or friends, time you could have been productive around the house, time you could have been making money Picture Quote #1

To bring down your credit card balances, write down the benefits of reducing your debt. No more gnawing feeling that you’re throwing money away, perhaps. More money flowing to other financial objectives. Then consult the list when you have doubts Picture Quote #1

It’s not exactly a big surprise that women mature earlier than men do. As a result, they tend to display better judgment, particularly when it comes to money Picture Quote #1

Just because someone will lend money to you doesn’t mean you should borrow it Picture Quote #1

Couples that do save have stronger, more stable, less stressful unions. In other words, you don’t want to be fighting about saving; you just want to be saving, period Picture Quote #1

Joining finances can be tricky. Money has long topped the list of topics couples fight about Picture Quote #1

If you’re not clipping coupons before going to the grocery store, you’re overspending. If you’re ordering in or going out to dinner because you don’t feel like cooking, you’re overspending. If you’re not tracking where your money is going, you’re very likely overspending Picture Quote #1

Your retirement comes before your children’s tuition. That’s because there’s no financial aid for retirement, and there’s still a good deal available for college Picture Quote #1

Nontraditional students often have the misconception that aid is intended only for high school students entering college. Luckily, that’s not the case Picture Quote #1

When something you use again and again is on sale, take advantage. This strategy doesn’t apply to perishable items, and you don’t want to buy so much more than you need just to get a deal, but if you know you’re going to use a product eventually, it pays to take advantage of the cheaper price Picture Quote #1

Being charitable provides a boost to your psyche that is tough to replicate in any other way. But note that although any charity will happily take your money, you can give in other ways and still reap the same happiness reward. Volunteering and donating your old or unused belongings have the same result Picture Quote #1

In fact, the bigger the bill, the less likely you are to spend it. If you want to really save money, spend only cash and carry only fifty-dollar bills Picture Quote #1

When you’re setting up a budget, a general rule is to start with your fixed expenses - your housing and insurance payments, and car payment, if you own one Picture Quote #1

You can cut the fat from your spending: Stop taking taxis, call your cable company and ask for the same deal new subscribers get, have dinner at home and then a drink out instead of a $100 meal with wine Picture Quote #1

Resilience isn’t a single skill. It’s a variety of skills and coping mechanisms. To bounce back from bumps in the road as well as failures, you should focus on emphasizing the positive Picture Quote #1
