Easy Money: Make More, Save More and Find Your Unclaimed Money
Every week on The Easy Money Show, 13-time Emmy-Winner Elisabeth Leamy (Good Morning America, Dr. Oz, Washington Post) digs up eye-opening —even jaw-dropping— ways to MAKE more money, SAVE more money and FIND your unclaimed money.
MAKE more like the young woman who paid for college by becoming an egg donor; MAKE more like the med student who made $100,000 by shooting stock photos. MAKE more like the recruiter who quit her job after she made a million bucks editing resumes on the side.
SAVE more by thinking big instead of small. SAVE more by refinancing your car loan —something most people have never heard of. SAVE more by appealing your property tax assessment —only 5 percent of homeowners do. SAVE more by snagging prescription medications for free —the only thing better than cheap is free!
And FIND yours —your unclaimed money. It’s out there, $42 billion worth. Things like final paychecks, tax refunds and life insurance proceeds you never received. Elisabeth has helped Americans FIND nearly $2 million of unclaimed money and she’ll teach you the tips and tricks so that you can FIND yours.
Together, we’ll MAKE More, SAVE More and FIND Yours —and we’ll do it fast. Unlike other hosts, Elisabeth guarantees she’ll get to the good stuff within 60-seconds of her show’s open. Easy Money
