Getting Your Money’s Worth Newsletter Vol. 2, No. 1

GYMW Newsletter Vol. 2, No. 1 January 7, 2009 From 1010 WINS Everyone seems to complain about the schools. Yet, there is a specific change that only parents can bring about, writes David Akst in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. Insist that your children fully apply themselves and commit to doing their part. The strongest predicators of achievement are parents expectations. Parents of achieving students insist that conscientious school work be job number one. Resist the impulse to help too much. Would doing push-ups for our children strengthen their arms? Kids form lots of habits. Doing well in school should be one of them. Whats your view? Please email me: mailto:Judith@gettingyourmoneysworthnyc.com Judith@gettingyourmoneysworthnyc.com Recently on Getting Your Moneys Worth: Five young women who are smart and successful but drowning in debt formed a money club to support each other in managing their money. Together the five women were $35,000 in credit card debt. One year later they had no debt and had cumulatively saved $15,000. They named themselves the Smart Cookies and offer advice on cutting debt and spending smarter. They are passionate about helping women start similar money clubs. http://www.gettingyourmoneysworthnyc.com/GYMW-033a.htm Getting Your Moneys Worth airs on Time Warner Cable Channel 34 (or Channel 78 if you dont have a cable box), RCN 83 and streaming on the web at http://www.mnn.org Sunday mornings at 8:30 a.m. and on Brooklyn Cable Access, Time Warner Cablevision, Channel 34/67 on Monday afternoons at 1:30 p.m. and streaming at http://www.biconline.org/bcat.com .
