The Dumb Things Smart People Do with Their Money Thirteen Ways to Right Your Financial Wrongs
Author: Jill Schlesinger

Why do even the smartest among us make dumb mistakes with our money? Pinpoint your biggest money blind spots and take control of your finances with these tools from CBS News Business Analyst and host of the nationally syndicated radio show Jill on Money, Jill Schlesinger. — Do you have a ?friend? who is super smart, has a great career, holds a gr... more »aduate degree, has even saved a chunk of money for retirement, but who keeps making the same dumb mistakes when it comes to money? Is this ?friend? you?

After decades working as a Wall Street trader, investment adviser, and money expert for CBS, Jill Schlesinger reveals thirteen costly mistakes you?re probably making right now with your money without even knowing it. Drawing on heartfelt personal stories (yes, money experts screw up, too), Schlesinger argues that it?s not lack of smarts that causes even the brightest, most accomplished people among us to behave like financial dumb-asses, but simple emotional blind spots. So if you?ve made well-intentioned mistakes like saving for college for your kids before you?ve saved for your own retirement, or taken on too much risk when you invest, you?ve come to the right place. And if you?ve avoided uncomfortable moments such as sitting down to draft a will or planning long-term care for an aging parent, this is the book for you.

By breaking bad habits and following Schlesinger?s pragmatic and accessible rules for managing your finances, you can save tens, even hundreds, of thousands of dollars, not to mention avoid countless sleepless nights.

Practical, no-nonsense, and often counterintuitive, The Dumb Things Smart People Do with Their Money tells you what you really need to hear about retirement, college financing, insurance, real estate, and more. It might just be the smartest investment you make all year.

?A must-read, whether you?re digging yourself out of a financial hole or stacking up savings for the future, The Dumb Things Smart People Do with Their Money is a personal finance gold mine loaded with smart financial nuggets delivered in Schlesinger?s straight-talking, judgment-free style.??Beth Kobliner, author of Make Your Kid a Money Genius (Even If You?re Not) and Get a Financial Life
