Thats right, here to make you feel like you hit the jackpot is personal finance editor of the International Financial business times, Lauren Lawrence cole. How are you . So were talking about trying to pay down debt. We all have a ton of that. When it comes to paying down de debt, 40 of americans are in this boat so youre not alone. Use the momentum beginning of you need accountability and speed. The new year, try to pay it down as quickly as possible. Find a buddy and use an app. You need a budget as a good one. Sweep and mint. Com. The accountability thing, arent you either like that or youre not . You got into debt badly to begin with because of those kinds of habits. Thats why i say do it fast because if you can really use the momentum, you can use and make progress. You walk, see it and buy it. You want it. First of all, dont go by there. Dont walk around. Stay off the computer. We actually spend 200 on average per month on impulse shopping. Oh, youre kidding. That adds up at the end of the year. Stick to your list. If you commit to doing that, 2,400 itself thats enough to take a pretty nice vacation for two. Or pay down the debt. If you happen to save some money what should we do with that . We really need to be investing. The stock market can be scary. People only need 10 of their income to go towards cash each month. You really want to put the rest of it towards the stock market, towards your 401k. Right now people have 20 or more in cash. Thats quite a lot. Its not going to help you develop wealth in the long run. When you see the dow lately, its hard. You panic. I understand, but its the number one way to build wealth over the long run. Better than cash really. All right, u say buy less and furor eror eror fewer things and go more places or experience more things. This ones exciting, right . So the number one new years enjoy life to the fullest. Research shows that if were spending money on experiences, could be dine being out, it could be a great trip somewhere, were so much happier. We get memories as opposed to the new sweater that ends up in the closet anyway. Which hoda cant find. Which is probably in a pile. You say this is a good time to ask for a raise or get a new job . Yes, only 8 of americans are happy with their income. But the job market is better than weve seen in recent years so its a great time to ask and 3 out of 4 people who ask do get a raise. I was surprised by that. 3 out of 4 actually will get it. At least a portion of it, right . Something. Its worth a try. Thank you very much. We appreciate it. Everyone has a story, and this is about a family and long lost love that has come full circle. Plus a little spice makes everything nice. After your local news. Mmmm mmmmm mmmm, mmm, mmm mmmm, mmm mmm, mmm mmmm, mmmm were back on this thirsty thursday. Were exactly two weeks into the year. Which means this is the time some people start cheating on their diet resolution. Our today food team has come to the rescue with a healthy meal thats so good you feel like youre cheating. Here to share with us her lighter version of the dish. Oh, you did so well with my last name today. Is it marcella . Marcella. Good. Slap the chicken. Im going to cook it for you guys. You asked me a good question about chicken. Weve got a fivepound chicken. Im going to sneak. Using the wooden spoon, im going to separate the skin from the flesh and then im going to sneak some fresh jalapenos that i thinly sliced. Right under there . What does that do . It not only adds flavor and spice, when youre cooking the chicken it protects it from the heat so youre creating a all the way down . The more you can get in there, the better. Then we just season the chicken. Were going to add some herbs. Weve got some oregano. Either cilantro or parsley will work. I like to stick whole limes in there. You cut it in half and stick it in . The juices are going to seep into the chicken. A couple of garlic cloves and thats it. Not much prep really. Not really. And then to season it, congress not oil, one of the healthier fats. Then brush that on there. And salt and pepper. Thats your seasoning for the chick sgln chicke y leaving a lot of this hangin out. Is that all right . Thats okay. Youre going to put it in the pan over some Butternut Squash also lightly the seasoned with a little bit of coconut oil. Were doing that when its raw . Everythings in one dish. Nice and heavy cast iron. So you put that in the oven . For about an hour and 20 minutes. 475 . Thats the thing, youre going to get this beautiful crispy skin. When it hits 160, that chicken is ready. What are we making . Were making tocke gin tacos. Youve got this beautiful flavorful chicken. You see the jalapenos, they cook down so theyre not so spicy. Now were going to make tacos. Youve got the onions, pickled jalapenos, limes, radishes, fresh tortillas, my nice and light refried beans which are cooked in coconut oil. I love refried beans. This version is healthy. The recipe is on your guys website. So tacos. Heres yours, kath. So you take chicken. If youre vegetarian, just add squash. No thank you. Why would anyone do that . Fingers, we dont have enough time. We dont . Well, maybe we do. No onions, how about jalapenos . No. Radish . No. Okay, your taco bar cy want the refried beans. Scoop it out. A little bit. That would be how about this and this. And do you put any sauce on it or just like that . I actually make my own salsa so i find it perfectly acceptable if you go to the super market and get a nice pico de gallo. The fresh ones are usually much lower in the calories. You need salsa. Yes, you do. Delicious, delicious. Love it. Recipe is on our website. Today. Com food. They rekindled their romance. You wont believe what brought them together. Everyone has a story. Really good.
