Ten timely financial steps to build the life you really want.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced us to rethink everything. Now, when it comes to envisioning a post-pandemic future, noted financial expert Jill Schlesinger hears one question over and over: How far should I really go to change my life?
The Great Money Reset is your guide to getting serious and building your best life. A road map for navigating our present era, this book shows us how to take advantage of the seismic changes unfurling all around us to make big life improvements. Whether it’s negotiating a better deal with your boss, starting or selling a business, moving to a new locale, retraining for a new career, taking time off to find yourself, or saying “the heck with it” and retiring early, The Great Money Reset provides an essential frame-work for strategizing and planning your next move.
Is quitting your job a wise decision or the biggest mistake of your life? Should you pursue that graduate degree or are you throwing away your money for a few meaningless letters after your name? What kinds of lifestyle sacrifices will you need to make―and could you tolerate―in order to realize your dreams? What tax and investment moves should you make to secure your future as you head into uncharted territory? And how can you put yourself in a strong position to undertake future life transitions that you can’t fully imagine now?
The Great Money Reset answers these and many other questions with Jill’s signature clarity, wit, and no-nonsense honesty. You’ll learn how to change your work, change your wealth, and change your life.
In ten simple steps, this book empowers you to break free of your unsatisfying pre-pandemic reality and thrive, regardless of whatever surprises might come next.

Whether you consider yourself financially savvy or are navigating the complexities of fiscal decisions, there's unparalleled wisdom in learning from the experiences of others, both successes and failures. This book serves as a treasure trove of personal narratives, offering valuable insights. Reading it was a revelation, providing clarity on the reasons behind my decision to retire a few years early. The emphasis on preparation, seeking advice, understanding personal expectations, and receiving affirmation that my goals were achievable proved invaluable during my transitional phase. If you find yourself contemplating a significant change, exploring this book could be a catalyst for your own reset, guiding you in determining where to go and how to solidify your financial aspirations.
If you’re thinking about making a career change this book is a must read! She has a lot of good things to think about.
Jill Schlesinger's guidance on CBS has been a steady companion, but delving into her book earlier would have significantly enhanced my preparedness before leaving my job early in the pandemic. Packed with financial insights and invaluable advice, this book serves as a comprehensive resource for anyone contemplating a life change.
The chapter on "Bully Your Boss" resonated with me, offering a practical approach: Button up your big ask; Understand the full picture; Lose the ego (sort of); Leave time to practice the conversation; and don't Yuck it up.
Another highlight is the chapter on "Family Planning (No, Not That Kind)," emphasizing the significance of family relationships in the context of Making a Great Money Reset.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to individuals across all income levels. Its wealth of wisdom and practical advice proves invaluable for those navigating financial transitions and seeking peace of mind in the process.
A helpful guide for a career change. I found valuable insights in this book, particularly appreciating the emphasis on shifting mindset regarding both money and life. Jill Schlesinger's use of examples and stories added depth to the content. While I gleaned useful information, I gave it a 3-star rating as I felt it leaned more towards individuals who already had their financial affairs in order. If you have a strong foundation in finance and are contemplating a significant career change, this book could be an ideal read for you. Happy reading!
