John Matarese's Interests
|
| General | Besides counting pennies? I enjoy writing an email newsletter (4,000 subscribers so far, thanks!), speaking to community groups, bike riding and skiing, and attempting my own auto repair (often unsuccessfully) to save money. Ha! Don't ask me about the time I damaged my engine trying to change the thermostat. | | Music | "I Wanna Be Rich" by Calloway, "Money (That's What I Want)" by the Beatles and any other songs that are about saving money. Non-money songs? John Mellencamp, U2, Sting, & Train. I'm into country right now: really like Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, and Rodney Atkins. | | Movies | The Color of Money, The Money Pit and any other movies about saving money. Whaddya expect me to say? Finding Nemo? (Actually I love that movie, makes me all weepy) | | Television | The "Don't Waste Your Money" segment on local TV news: who is that obnoxious guy with the bad haircut? Oh that's me. Never mind. I love "Desperate Housewives," but don't tell anyone. Shhh. | | Books | "Confessions of a Street Addict" by James Cramer. Supposedly he helps people build up huuuuuuge amounts of money through the stock market. I'm still trying. | | Heroes | The guy on the front of the dollar bill. I think it's Lincoln, or George Washington, but I don't remember right now, and my wallet is empty (as usual). Anyway, a dollar saved is a penny earned, or something like that. |

About me:
I'm the "Don't Waste Your Money" consumer guy on TV. Each week, I alert viewers to the latest consumer information and scam alerts.
My goal: to help people find the best values and avoid bad deals, whether its a lousy travel company, a gym membership you will NEVER get out of, or an online "discount club" that's going to charge your credit card from now till the end of time.
I'm not afraid to mince words, or call something that's garbage what it is: garbage. That doesn't make me friends, but that's not my job. If it's a ripoff, I'll let you know. Don't forget to check out my
Don't Waste Your Money website!
PS: That pop-up ad offering you a free Laptop computer? You won't get one.

Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone interested in a tip to save money. Sorry, no poker or stock tips. BTW: I am the world's worst poker player.
