Through candid interviews and a study of more than five thousand people, financial coach Jean Chatzky reveals the traits and habits of those who have moved from the lowest economic strata to the highest. It's not that those people were born into money, caught a lucky break, or have an Ivy League education. It's not even that they are smarter than you or make more money than you do each year. So what do they have that you don't--at least not yet? This book helps you take a look at where you are now and offers simple strategies for going where you want to go. Find out why it's important to: get happy, but not too happy; do what you love, but don't quit your day job; harness your intuition to take risks that make sense; make connections; and make your money work as hard as you do--From publisher description.
