b'Jean Chatzky\\u202fis an award-winning financial journalist, author, and motivational speaker. She is the\\u202fTODAY Show\\u2019s financial expert, and has appeared on The View, Live!, Morning Joe, The Talk and Oprah among others. Her most recent book, AgeProof: Living Longer Without Running Out of Money or Breaking a Hip was written with the Cleveland Clinic\\u2019s chief wellness officer Dr. Michael Roizen to explain the vital connection between health and wealth \\u2014 giving readers all the tactics, strategies, and know-how to live longer, healthier, more lucrative lives.\\n Graduating college and all \\u201cgung-ho\\u201d as she calls it, to become a journalist, Jean got her first job at a magazine called Working Woman. Recognizing that business journalism was more her speed, Jean took some time away from Working Woman and designed her own path/detour. She went on to cooking school (interesting, right?) and did some freelance work, landing her on Wall Street (the business capital of the world!).\\n Finally dipping her toes into the business world water, Jean had found her niche. Her experience and stock research duties on Wall Street led her to many more business/financial opportunities, which include work with personal finance magazines, becoming the Financial Editor on The Today Show, and also writing books along the way.\\n \\u201cI am honored and love working in so many different jobs. It\\u2019s like I\\u2019m able to put all the information into different formats. I absolutely love reporting!\\u201d\\n Jean is a total financial powerhouse! Her tips and advice that she shares on today\\u2019s podcast may be just the thing some of you need to hear. Over the years, I\\u2019ve learned that feeling financially secure and stable is a huge part of one\\u2019s happiness, so any time I can share tips or have a guest on with expert advice, that\\u2019s what I do!\\n \\u201cFinancially limiting beliefs come in all shapes and sizes. Some of us don\\u2019t believe we deserve it while others are too fearful to dive into it, believing that money is too confusing, even though once you dive in and just start, you\\u2019re 99% there.\\u201d\\n \\u201cIt\\u2019s actually very motivating once you visit your savings account after a while, and see what you have accumulated. It\\u2019s almost like, \\u2018I can do this! I\\u2019m a saver!\\u2019\\u201d I\\n f you eventually want the stability, it\\u2019s not rocket science. Just do ONE thing and save a little bit more. And it won\\u2019t hurt to start incorporating one of Jean\\u2019s powerful but simple mantras:\\n \\u201cControl what you can control.\\u201d Jean coaches us that we all have the ultimate say in what we choose \\u2013 with both money and health. If you don\\u2019t like something, you can choose something better. You can choose to save a little bit more in your savings account. You can choose to eat a little bit healthier. You can also choose to let go of the things you can\\u2019t control and know that in the end it will be OK.\\n Finally, remember that focusing and fine-tuning our finances is a constant thing. Big changes don\\u2019t necessarily happen overnight. Start small, put habits in place, and you may find that both your wealth (and health) will benefit.\\n In This Episode You Will Learn About: Journalism\\n Writing\\n Finances\\n Entrepreneurship\\n Hard Work\\n Business\\n Motivational Speaking\\n Finding Your Passion\\n Loan Debt\\n Money\\n Limiting Beliefs\\n Automatic Savings\\n Resources: AgeProof: Living Longer Without Running Out of Money or Breaking a Hip by: Jean Chatzky\\n The Today Show\\n HerMoney Podcast\\n For the Love of Money Podcast\\n Visit Jean at\\u202fjeanchatzky.com Follow me on social media @LoriHarder on Instagram and Lori Harder on Facebook.
