Pay It Down!: From Debt to Wealth on $10 a Day

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.

Debt Practice

I thought that the book was pretty much like the rest of the other debt books on there. Try to figure out what you can eliminate from your spending and try to pay cash whenever you can.

Simple advice but implementing it is hard

The idea behind this book is simple but hard to implement because it requires hard work and discipline. The author says that the number one enemy of the American family's finance is debt, particularly credit card debt. It is a problem for customers but a great revenue source for credit card...

Common sense printed for the masses

The basics of this book are that if you save $10 a day you can reduce your debt, not quickly but in a few years. I've seen many negative reviews of this book saying that eh, saving money and cutting back are common sense. While that is true one must consider that in the area of finance most...

She tells you what to say - very helpful!

I enjoyed this book's simple, no nonsense approach to getting a handle on debt. It was very "readable." I especially enjoyed the actual manuscripts of what to say to credit card companies, and sample letters to write to dispute things. Very helpful book.

What income bracket is she in?

$10 a Day! What Income Bracket does this woman live in? That is around $300 a month, and a lot of the people that I know that need help work very hard to take that much home a week. Perhaps she should spend some time learning how the other half lives. I know people who went into debt so their...

No new information

I did not find this book particularly helpful or useful. The concept is that you cut back your spending by $10.00 a day, and then take this money and apply it toward your debt. That is basically it. I think that this concept would have been better suited to a financial advice column, not...
