Jill Schlesinger, Business Analyst for CBS News & Author, to speak at The Westport Library

Do you have a “friend” who is smart, has a great career, holds a graduate degree, has even saved a fair amount for retirement, but who keeps making the same dumb mistakes when it comes to money?

Jill Schlesinger, one of America's most experienced and respected money experts and author of The Dumb Things Smart People Do With Their Money, will share ways to stop the cycle. The author will be signing books that are available for purchase, as well as giving a brief presentation and Q & A. Admission is free. This event is co-hosted by Temple Israel Westport and The Westport Library. Refreshments are sponsored by Office Evolution Westport.

About Jill Schlesinger: During her decades as a Wall Street trader, investment adviser, and Business Analyst for CBS News, Jill Schlesinger has watched clients, friends, viewers, and listeners repeatedly become their own worst financial enemies. As she’s discovered, it’s not lack of smarts that cause even the brightest, most accomplished people among us to be their own worst financial enemies, but simple emotional blind spots. When it comes to some of the biggest financial decisions, it’s frighteningly easy to let your heart lead instead of your brain. CBS Business Analyst Jill Schlesinger will join us to discuss her new book The Dumb Things Smart People Do With Their Money: Thirteen Ways to Right Your Financial Wrongs. Read more about Jill: www.jillonmoney.com
