Stacey Tisdale at Hue-Man Bookstore

“…the average American household has $9,000 in credit card debt,” Tisdale says. On-Air financial journalist Stacey Tisdale has reported for some of the greatest news organizations in the world.  Frequently seen on the Today Show, she has reported for CBS News national TV and radio broadcasts, CNN, PBS, and she’s been an expert on the Oprah Winfrey Show, and in O Magazine.  For more than 15 years she has been creating healthy financial lives, she embarked on a six-year study to find out what’s really at work in our choices about money. Her findings, laid out in her book The True Cost of Happiness:  The Real Story Behind Managing Your Money are creating nothing short of a revolution in the way we look at our finances. Tisdale found that social messages from the things that advertisers tell us we must have for ourselves and our children, to social stereotypes about race and gender are the primary drivers in our financial choices. Partnered with renowned financial planner Paula Boyer Kennedy, Tisdale takes readers through a methodology that allows them to create a financial plan that supports their highest goals and values. She’ll be signing her book The True Cost of Happiness, @ Hue-Man Bookstore, March 19^th at 6 pm, Contact Hue-Man Bookstore, 212.665.7400, www.huemanbookstore.com
