Today Show: Retail Therapy Advice & New Surcharges on Credit Cards

Today Show: Retail Therapy With Jean Chatzky

Did you know shopping can actually help you with the wintertime blues? It is all about finding the happy medium of not spending too much money, which would make you more depressed, and not spending enough, which would just be a waste of money.

Jean Chatzky said a recent poll found 36 percent of people do the most shopping during the winter months. The key to the retail therapy, according to Chatzky, is buying just enough to make you happy and walking away without spending too much. She suggested buying a few items of cheap makeup for women and she suggested men head over to Brookstone for some kind of item they wouldn’t normally buy.

Today Show: New Surcharges On Credit Cards

Starting this Sunday, you may start seeing an extra charge on your credit card bills. According to Chatzky, retailers are tacking on a surcharge, which can be up to four percent, on some items. Although it won’t happen all at once, Chatzky said you will start seeing surcharges tacked on by hotels, taxis, airlines and other commuter services.

Luckily, any time a retailer is going to add this new surcharge they have to put up a sign, which means you should put down the credit card and pick up some cash when shopping there.

About Corey Gibson

After graduating from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in Journalism and Anthropology, I managed a pizza place for a year, while freelancing for various newspapers in the area. Working every weekend in sauna like conditions, never being able to take a day off and being covered in flour is something I will not miss. I hope Recapo has air conditioning.
