NY Daily News launches new personal finance section

New York Daily News business editor Scott Wenger e-mailed Wednesday night to let Talking Biz News know about the paper’s new personal finance section, “Your Money,” which debuted on Monday.

The new section is designed to help readers choose investments that make sense, protect money from scams, run and grow a small business, find and finance real estate and understand the gobbledygook.

Wenger wrote, “We also have lured some top columnists to offer guidance and practical tips you can use in your life.

“Jean Chatzky’s Bottom Line provides smart advice for your day-to-day life and for your future. She’s the author of the best-selling book ‘Make Money, Not Excuses’; host of a daily show on Oprah & Friends on XM Radio and author of columns at oprah.com/jean; and financial editor of NBC’s ‘Today’ show.

“Carolyn Kepcher’s Your Career features savvy insight from the workplace. She’s the former ‘Apprentice’ star who thrived toiling for one of America’s toughest bosses and the author of the best-selling business book ‘Carolyn 101.’

“George Chin’s Your Tuition is a crash course on lowering the cost of a higher education. If it seems like you need an advanced degree to apply for financial aid, George will help – as CUNY’s financial aid director, he’s been advising New York students and their parents for more than 25 years.

“Your Money won’t make you rich overnight, but it will give you the power of knowledge – so you can make better decisions for your life right away.”
