Learn moreThey were five dynamic young women: smart, successful—and secretly drowning in debt. Inspired by an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show on personal finance, Andrea, Angela, Katie, Robyn, and Sandra formed a money club, together developing strategies for turning their finances around. Just one year later, they had dramatically improved their financial situations—and had made major developments in their careers, relationships, and life goals to boot. Their proven recipe for success has since been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show and MSNBC, and in the New York Daily News.
How did they do it? These five women—with varied careers in marketing, public relations, social work, and TV production—joined forces to create a fun, simple, effective strategy for achieving financial success, forming a money club, and supporting each other every step of the way. Now, in this extraordinary hands-on guide, the women, who dubbed themselves the Smart Cookies, share the secrets of their success.
Weaving anecdotes from their own lives with practical how-to advice, the Smart Cookies offer strategies that cut across the financial spectrum, whether you're deeply in debt or just want to manage your money better. Tackling the unique financial challenges facing women today, they offer easy-to-follow advice on everything from creating a spending plan to boosting your income to starting your own money club.
The Smart Cookies have been meeting since March 2006. As five fabulous women who appeared to have it all, each shared a major financial problem she was hesitant to reveal. When the Smart Cookies created a money club, they barely knew one another, but today they have become close, committed friends and business partners. With support, accountability, and simple strategies for attracting more money, they managed to turn their financial picture around in under a year. Andrea, Angela, Katie, Robyn, and Sandra reside in Vancouver, British Columbia, where they are the hosts of Smart Cookies, a fresh, new television show on the W Network. They are passionate about helping women everywhere start money clubs and begin talking about money.
Andrea Baxter is cohost of the financial advice television program Smart Cookies on the W Network in Toronto, Canada. Before becoming a Smart Cookie, she had a successful career as a marketing director, but she just wasn't successful when it came to her finances. Saddled with almost $20,000 of debt, no savings, and a large mortgage, Andrea knew she had to start making some changes. After just a year of being a Smart Cookie, Andrea had paid off more than one-third of her debt and had started contributing more money to her retirement savings plan and opened a new savings account. With the help of a booming real estate market and smart money practices, she is now debt-free. Andrea, known as the "Debt Buster" on the show, now helps others develop plans to move into the black while keeping their lives fun and fabulous.
