You’re smart. So don’t be dumb about 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.
 
 “A must-read . . . This straightforward and pleasingly opinionated book may persuade more of us to think about financial planning.”—Financial Times
 
Hey you . . . you saw the title. You get the deal. You’re smart. You’ve made a few dollars. You’ve done what the financial books and websites tell you to do. So why isn’t it working? Maybe emotions and expectations are getting in the way of good sense—or you’re paying attention to the wrong people. If you’ve started counting your lattes, for god’s sake, just stop. Read this book instead.
 
After decades of working as a Wall Street trader, investment adviser, and money expert for CBS News, Jill Schlesinger reveals thirteen costly mistakes you may be making right now with your money. Drawing on personal stories and a hefty dose of humor, Schlesinger argues that even the brightest people can behave like financial dumb-asses because of emotional blind spots. 
 
So if you’ve saved for college for your kids before saving for retirement, or you’ve avoided drafting a will, this is the book for you. By following Schlesinger’s rules about retirement, college financing, insurance, real estate, and more, you can save money and avoid countless sleepless nights. It could be the smartest investment you make all year.

Rusting stainless steel
Color: Black, Color: Black
Description says stainless steel. After 6 months rust has developed and I doubt it will last a year. Suction cups suction was fine. The issue is have is the "U' theater the caddy rests on has bent to the point any little bump on the caddy will knock it off the suction but "U" notch.

I need to make sure the kitchen doesn't look so messy.
Color: Black, Color: Black
Look, this sponge holder is the kind you stick to the wall so you don't have everything lying around in the sink. Honestly, it does the job: it keeps the blue sponge and the metal scouring pad in place so they're not soaking in water at the bottom of the sink. ✔️ The good • It looks clean and keeps everything more organized. • The metal basket is well-designed; nothing falls out. • The sponge dries faster because it's ventilated. • It doesn't take up any counter space; everything hangs neatly.

Great little organizer
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
I was tired of having my sponge and scrubbers all over the sink, so I gave this a try—and it actually works really well. The suction cups are strong and haven’t fallen off, even when the basket is full. It holds my sponge, brush, and steel scrubber with no problem. The stainless steel feels sturdy and doesn’t rust. Super simple, but it makes my sink area look much cleaner. I’m really happy with it!

Do Not Recommend
Color: Black
Caddy falls off every other day. Suction cups are visibly ugly and prevent caddy from hanging higher. Poor design and overpriced.
