Belinda was interviewed by Richard Price of the Yahoo! Contributor Network for his article, Citibank Bill-Pay App Bug Charges Twice — and Many Customers Never Knew. Be sure to check it out!
Here is an excerpt from the article to get you started:
“People are not looking close enough at their [bank] statements,” said Belinda Rosenblum, a Boston based wealth expert and president of OwnYourMoney.com, a financial coaching company. She said that many people look at some transactions, especially small ones, with apathy. Rosenblum said that when an unfamiliar transaction shows up they often dismiss it as ‘It’s only $20,’ and not worth the effort to correct. But she said that recurring transactions like unwanted subscriptions can add up to hundreds of dollars. “It’s no wonder that so many Americans live paycheck to paycheck.”
Are you one of the many Americans living paycheck to paycheck? Could you benefit from taking the time to look at your statements? Post your comment below!
There’s a lot of confusion and panic right now about how to respond to this economic crisis and how to get ahead financially.
MONEY TIP: Take an honest look at your current personal and business life with money. If it is not EXACTLY where you want it to be, then there is something that you don’t know or aren’t doing to improve your situation. If you can see one area where you could be in your own way, then it is crucial you remove that roadblock so you can get into ACTION instead of more distraction.
If you recognize that you could use some help removing the mental roadblocks, you’ll want to check out T. Harv Eker’s brand new Millionaire Mind Intensive Special Edition — and the link below to your complimentary upgraded ticket. [click to continue…]

Tough week? Or is it a happy post-Super Bowl week for you? It’s become a bit somber up here in New England. One of my Boston friends has already started to move on by dressing her kids yesterday in Red Sox and Bruins outfits. But before we all move on, here are 3 quick MONEY TIPS to share with you first:
1- Those two teams fought hard to earn the right to be on the field in Indianapolis on Sunday night. They were IN THE GAME. When it comes to your life, and especially your life with money, are you sitting on the sidelines or actively playing the game? Success comes from active engagement. What is one thing you can do today to get in the game? To improve your money game, here’s a great starting play: www.MakingMoneyEasyProgram.com.
2- Michael Jordan once said: “I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” [click to continue…]
I usually find $200-$1,000 per month extra that new clients can be saving. (I explain the juicy “how” in my upcoming teleclass series.) I help you figure out (legitimately) how to pay less in bills so you have more cash for fun now and for your fantastic future. Read on to calculate your own Inaction Factor.
Let’s say it averages to $500/month savings. In 1 year, that’s $6,000. In 5 years, that’s $30,000 (before interest) in your pocket. That’s $30,000 extra cash to take a trip, add to your “sleep better at night” cushion account, pay off debt, help fund your kid’s college education, pay your bills, renovate your house, invest, or so much more…

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.
The second best time is now. ~Chinese proverb
MONEY TIP (Part 1): Waiting for the “right time” can be paralyzing — and costly. With our active lives of work, family, friends, exercise, the Superbowl this coming weekend, and so much more, there may never seem to be a “right time” to take a more active role in managing your money.

As you read in my last Money Tip, I LOVE questions. And, since this is all about Making Money Easy, here are some quick answers to the top questions you may have:
- Q: What is the class about?
A: A surprisingly simple new approach to money management for busy professionals who want to figure out where there money goes, plan how to live within their means (without feeling the stress, limitation or guilt of avoidance or painful budgeting), and set up an easy-to-use system so you are following the right actions every week/month/year.
- Will it really help ME?
A: If you meet the following 3 criteria: (1) If you spend money (no matter whether it is cash, debit card, or credit card), (2) you are ready for a change now and want to get off of the paycheck-to-paycheck hamster wheel because you are tired of not keeping more of what you earn, and (3) you are willing to attend the calls and do the action steps along the way. Then YES, join us.
- Q: Do I have to wait until the program is over to start making money easy? [click to continue…]
Wow! Since I announced earlier this week that — for a limited time only — I’m opening the gates to a new small group tele-seminar program based on my most popular and profitable money strategies and tools, we’ve been overcome with questions.
Just in case you missed the exciting announcement, the new breakthrough program is called:
Making Money Easy: How to Manage, Keep, and Save More This Year Than Every Year Before
I love receiving these questions! Here’s why…
MONEY TIP: The only “stupid” question is the one not asked. Most people worry about asking a question, or taking action for that matter, due to a fear that they will be judged, look/sound silly, or their true abilities will be unveiled (and insufficient). Au contraire! [click to continue…]
The training calls were so awesome, and I got so many questions, that I just had to do 3 things for you:
1- Open up 10 spots on my calendar between now and this Friday January 27th for 15-minute laser sessions to answer your questions. This training stirred up a lot of questions and interest, so I’d love to speak directly with you to help. I’ve changed lives in 15 minutes. If you’d like to see how I can help you, here’s the link to grab one of those slots for yourself now: http://bit.ly/LaserBelinda
2- Send you the recording link. Check out recording and our exciting new program while you’re there. Here’s the link: http://bit.ly/MMEasy
3- Share with you the special bonus that EXPIRES TONIGHT for an EXTRA $50 savings on the program. Be sure to use these codes when you sign-up:
Use “MME50” for the EZ Pay option OR use “MME25” for the 2-pay option (so you get $25 off of both payments)
If you act now, both pay options will get you the early-bird special pricing too!
As we enter the 4th week of January, let’s put a solid foundation on your 2012 goals. Getting personal, real, and into action will help you make this happen.
