By Wes Moss, CFP

What does it take to be happy? After years of meeting and advising hundreds of wildly different peopleDemocrats, Republicans, doctors, teachers, lawyers, utility workers, engineers, writers, the list goes onIve seen that a significant part of being happy is having financial security. And almost all of these happy people have one thing in common: They took an active role in smartly managing their money, career, and financial futureand they started doing it at a young age.

Shoo, Jimmy Choo! shows you how to do just this. In my years as a CFP, Ive seen that happy people generally know how much money is coming in and how much is going out every month, and how to fill the gap in between. They have an informed, solid plan for retirement. They buy homes they can afford, using traditional mortgages and paying down the principal every month, and end up owning their home outright by the time they retire. They pay off credit card debt and loans in a timely manner. These are key principles necessary for a secure financial future, and these are just the principles that Catey Hill highlights for young women in Shoo, Jimmy Choo!. Not only can Cateys fundamental principles literally be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in your pocket, they can help make you one of those happy people...

Shoo, Jimmy Choo! is a timely book, but even timelier is that Catey had the foresight to sit down and begin writing this book long before it was cool to not keep up with the Jones. This keeping up with the Joneses mentality led Americans into massive debt. In fact, the average American was spending nearly every penny they were making. Many Americans bought homes, cars, clothes, gadgets and many other things they simply could not afford. Many Americans saved almost no money. And look where it got us... In a day and age where this massive consumer debt, combined with things like Wall Streets complex financial instruments, has driven our country into the worst recession since the 1930s, it is clearly time to get back to basics. And thats why I recommend Shoo, Jimmy Choo! to young women: It takes you back to basics with practical, easy-to-follow financial advice that will set you up for a financially secureand happierfuture.

Style, Diet, and Fitness...
for Your Finances

AN INTRODUCTION TO SAVVY MONEY MANAGEMENT (AND WHY YOU NEED TO START, LIKE, NOW)

You dont have the pocketbook of Ivanka Trump. Not even the pocketbook of good ol K-Fed. In fact, youre not even close. Thats right, youre nearly B-R-O-K-E. Scraping the bottom of your purse for quarters, eating Ramen noodles right before payday B-R-O-K-E. Or, more likely, youre buying hot new patent-leather flats, getting fabulous biscotti highlights, all on an overextended credit card (and no savings to speak of) B-R-O-K-E. And it makes you wonder... How did a cute, employed girl like yourself end up having to hock her skinny jeans on eBay just to pay the rent?

Or maybe youre not quite B-R-O-K-E, but you dont have much in your retirement fund, you dont really understand investing, or you dont have a solid plan for your financial future. (And ladies, a solid plan does not include waiting to save money until you make more money, marrying Barron Trump, or winning the Mega Millions.)
