Book Description
The national bestseller that can help you create the life of your dreams for only $10 a day, using Jean Chatzky's powerful "debt diet."
Is it really possible to live without credit card debt, bill collectors, whopping interest payments, or anxiety about retirement? Yes it is, and Jean Chatzky, one of America's most beloved money experts, can teach you how to use the debt diet to make that dream a reality.
Millions of Americans watch Chatzky on NBC's Today show, and millions more read her articles in magazines like Money, Time, Life and Travel & Leisure. Unlike some financial gurus, she offers straight talk about the problems real people face in the real world. Chatzky proves that anyone, no matter how debt-ridden or how low on income, can find an extra $10 a day to knock out their debt and build a bright, secure future.
It might be as simple as spending less on your morning coffee or as drastic as trading in your SUV for a more practical car. You'll also learn how to track your spending, consolidate your debts, force credit card companies to give you their best rates, and plan ahead for the inevitable surprise expenses that crop up from time to time.

Financial Relief.......2007-09-10
"Pay it Down: From Debt to Wealth on $10 a Day" is an amazing book: easy to read, a workbook to help you sort out your own debt, and a wonderful resource of emails and phone numbers of all the places related to helping you get out of debt--whether you are just trying to get a better car loan rate or are in deep financial trouble. Jean Chatzky regularly appears on the NBC's "Today Show," as well as writing for magazines like "Time" and "Money."
In this book, she provides great advice for following a plan of finding $10 a day to put toward your debt and working your way to a happier life (her plan takes about three years of solid financial discipline to get to most results). She begins with the less painful ways to save and works her way toward much tougher choices. She offers practical advice and even builds in a way to have (planned) splurges. She offers practical advice that anyone can adapt, she realizes the reality of the need for cell phones and (basic) cable, at the same time helping you figure out how to find that extra money to reduce those dreaded credit card totals. She provides excellent advice about credit scores--how they are calculated, how you can improve your own, why you shouldn't cut up all those credit cards, and more.
Whether you just want to save a little more for retirement or need some serious financial help, this book is for you. There isn't anything much on investing money or what to do when you accumulate wealth: that's for another time. This is the nitty-gritty on dealing with debt and getting out from under those oppressive bills. I recommend this book.
Very Happy.......2007-08-23
I had a very pleasant experience purchasing this product. It was delivered in a timely manner, and was in the exact condition that the seller said it was. I will definitely be shopping at Amazon.com again.
Very basic, but there is some good information in it.......2007-08-06
So many negative reviews of this book are based on what the reviewer thinks everyone already knows - however it is they know that. True, this is not an in-depth economic or financial text, but it isn't meant to be. I consider myself an educated, relatively organized professional with workable financial knowledge, but I still picked up a few good tips from this book, and it made me think about a couple topics in a new light. My husband and I did the short exercises and discovered a surprise or two about our spending - nothing that was breaking the bank, but correcting the issues will save us some money that will add up over time.
This book is a very quick read done in a friendly, conversational tone. If you get it from your local library as we did, reading it won't cost anything, won't be much of a time investment, certainly won't hurt anything, and who knows, you may end up learning a thing or two that'll save you a few bucks.
Common Sense for those in debt and feel helpless.......2007-08-06
Get this book from your library (point one in saving $), and then go to your local library and get Oprah's Debt Diet series DVD's. Coupled together, (Jean is in both) you have GOTTA learn something!
Love this book! Way to go Jean!!
book full of nothing.......2007-04-10
If I ran a publishing company, my books would be different.
I would give each nonfiction author who has written a first draft of a book a sheet of paper with the following:
1. have more than 10 other famous authors already written widely available books with identical advice? if so you do not have a worthwhile manuscript. try again.
2. if you are saying "my plan works" where is the data to support your conclusion? basic numbers on compliance with your plan over the first month, first 12 months, two years?
3. if you have no data and you are saying the same thing as everyone else, why publish a book that only has a slight twist that differentiates itself from other books?
those 3 questions would stop books like this, leaving more space for the ones with substance.
the bottom line is that the covers of this book are too far apart. often that is said to disparage the book's content. in this case there is no content to criticize.
waste of paper. waste of time. waste of money and this "author" has damaged her reputation by putting this out, judging from reviews here.

Life is a presentation! Here is everything you need to get the results you want from the presentations you make ... time after time, without fail.
Professional speaker or salesperson, trainer or technician, this book gives you the critical edge for powerful presentations.

Customer Reviews:
All you need to know about speaking in public.......2003-01-21
Marjorie Brody's information, guidelines & tips are clear, concise, & well-laid out.
Few of us think of speaking to an audience with the same focus as Olympic athletes face their races. SPEAKING IS AN AUDIENCE-CENTERED SPORT can change that for you, especially if you are thinking of a career that will include public speaking.
If you are already grappling with such public presentations, then SPEAKING IS AN AUDIENCE-CENTERED SPORT will be another useful tool in your efforts for effective, memorable communication.
As an author speaking at readings & signings, I devoured SPEAKING IS AN AUDIENCE-CENTERED SPORT, & have returned to it, again & again, to boost my confidence, focus my meandering mind, & remember the tips, instructions & warm-up exercises.
Here's a good one..........2001-02-17
I thought I already knew how to give effective presentations, but Marjorie Brody's book told me I had a lot more to learn. Now I know how to better understand my audience's needs and tailor my presentations to meet them. This is really an excellent book for people in all different fields. I wish all the presenters I listen to would read it too!

Customer Reviews:
Every Food Lover Should Have This Book.......2006-04-22
Donna Long is amazing. The only thing I would reccomend is to write a book about Wisconsin. I know for a fact the Wisconsin has better places to eat, more hometown charm, and our cheese is better. But Donna Long did an amazing job. I bet she had a lot of fun going all over the state and getting a taste of everything. The stories of the people she met was the best part of the book. A must have for anyone who would like to learn more about food and local town charm.
Excellent--the perfect gift!.......2001-05-24
This book is a must-read for Minnesota natives and tourists alike! Tabbert Long has written a book that honors Minnesota's unique culinary traditions. In so doing, she honors the state's inhabitants. Unlike a travel guide that offers no personal perspective, this book's author both loves and understands the place about which she writes. An added bonus: the book contains delicious recipes from Minnesota restaurants!
FOOD! FUN! FANTASTIC!.......2001-05-10
Wonderful! Not only has Mrs. Long compiled an exceptional resource of the supremely underrated food-gifts that Minnesota generously offers its denizens and travellers, but she has done so with superb writing and wit. I hope there are many more books on the way from Mrs. Long!

Reflections of a gay banker.......2005-10-26
As an openly gay investment banker, I feel that I have expertise on both topics addressed in this book--namely finance and homosexuality. Few have considered how these two topics interact. I have often felt that the personal finance decisons of gay men like me (and women of course) are not the same as for those that are not gay. Bravo!!
Book Description
In order to make money you need to spend money--$5 to be precise, an investment you're likely to earn back in spades on your first eBay auction if you follow the advice in this pocket-sized guide! By focusing on just the most common tasks you're likely to perform, this tight, bright, four-color guide serves as a super quick reference to using eBay safely, securely, and (most importantly) profitably! In less than 50 pages, eBay veteran and digital technology whiz Stephen Gregory covers all the eBay essentials: making safe purchases, setting yourself up as a seller, writing effective product descriptions, creating and posting persuasive product photos, ensuring transaction security, and making sure your customers are happy. Each page features a full-page visual (either a photograph or a software screen shot), step-by-step instructions, and perhaps a warning or tip at the bottom of the page-nothing extraneous, nothing more than you actually want to know!
Customer Reviews:
Just what I needed.......2006-06-14
While it is true that eBay has all this information online, I spent hours there this monring just trying to find out the simple information in the booklet. EBay should have something like this available on their site for those just wanting the basic facts.
A few more pages on the selling side would have made it better for my uses, but now that I know the basics,I can skip all that.
all the info you can find on ebay.......2004-09-11
Nothing new in this book. If you go to any help page on ebay you can find this information not worth the time or money
