The Difference by Jean Chatzky

Jean Chatzky's book "The Difference: how anyone can prosper in even the toughest times" book shares with readers how to make things work. There are several examples of people who have made strides to make their lives better. Years of striding and staying focused, they made it.

There's an interesting passage on page 37. Nothing is easy and here's her statement: "The Difference isn't easy. The Difference is an advanced concept. And yes, you have to want it, because it will-in all likelihood-occasionally put up a fight." Amid the interruptions in life, success happens.

Jean introduces readers to concepts to help bring her point home and hopefully, it translate to more money. Here are a few:

• Smoking hurts the pocketbook
• The one best way to save money is to stop spending it
• Ten ways to pinpoint your passion
• Tweaking things

I like this book by Jean Chatzky. Her examples of people who made it is a reminder that there is room for more success stories.
