Publisher Description

What’s the difference between you and Warren Buffett? Between you and your boss? Or between you and your successful neighbor? What do the financially comfortable have that you don’t? 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? What’s The Difference? Trusted financial coach Jean Chatzky shares the secrets her groundbreaking research of the self-made wealthy has uncovered so that anyone can break through the barriers that stand between them and true financial freedom.

    " I was a little disappointed. I really like hearing what she has to say on news shows, but this was really basic. I don't think I came away with anything new. I am on a mission to try several of her others and see if something comes up, though. "

    " Was disappointed with this book. I've read her articles in magazines and had always liked what I had read. This book just seemed to rehash and not very well basic principles. We all need to save, you need to take some calculated risks with your money and work harder when there is a benefit to come from it, etc. "
