| On Oprah.com, she has a 8 step program for getting yourself out of debt.Theres 2 phases,,4 steps in each phase.This way they tell you to do one step a week.I havent completely finished reading it but what I have read I think is helpful and thought I would share with my friends!
At step 8 theres a 1 question quiz,,about your mood when you shop,,then tells you what it means and how it applies to your shopping and spending money.Pretty interesting.I am having a senior moment,,but on Oprahs site one of her finacial assistants on this program is Jean Chatzky.Isnt she the woman who wrote the tightwads gazette?I have never read her book but have seen it mentioned several times here.
Let me know what you think.

| I really like Jean Chatzky.
I have read several of her books.
Right now, I am reading "Debt is Slavery" but I cant remember the author. It is a short book, I have already more than half way through it, and I was only reading for an hour last night. But it is simple, no-nonsense things to think about.
Thank you for posting this site, Donna!
I cant wait to read it.
