" I bought this book at a library book sale for 25 cents, as I often like to peruse personal finance books. I find that no matter how many of them you look at, there are always little tips and tricks that are good for keeping motivation high. I've seen Jean Chatzky in magazines and on television, and I really thought I liked her. Turns out I am pretty lukewarm to her. She writes with a female reader in mind, but her stereotypes of what this female reader is like are farfetched and annoying. She assumes her readers are 30 to 45, and that they are obsessed with clothing and handbags and shoes and makeup and facials and spa treatments and botox. WHAT? Needless to say, I found it very difficult to relate at all. Furthermore, this book is one of the "wordy-est" lengthy books of its sort, but there is ultimately very little information in here. Most of the chapters are broken down into sections called "Don't bitch" and "Don't make excuses".....as if her readers are some whining fashionistas who are financial airheads. My two stars are in honor of each chapter's "Map to a Million", where she demonstrates ways that small changes can really make a HUGE impact in your long-term peace of mind. "
