if you agonized about money, chances are you're not alone. almost 7 out of 10 americans say finances are a significant source of stress in a recent survey. a new book may provide some solutions. it's called "the dumb things smart people do" with their money. 13 ways to right your financial wrongs. this is a first book by cbs news business analyst, the first of many i'm predicting. and certified financial planner jill schlessinger. congratulations. i love this book. it's a quick read. you're not talking down to the viewers and you're revealing you're very popular. you have a lot of friends to talk about in this book. >> with a lot of financial problems. >> you talk about your financial problems as well but you spend a lot of time talking about your friends. your friend gayle came to you with college debt concerns. she tapped into her nest egg to pay for her son's college tuition. this is something a lot of parents are doing. you're saying it's a big no-no.
8:17 am
>> the big problem around college is we know our kids have to get educated, and the problem we now see is that parents are taking that to the extreme. they are putting their kids before themselves. they are making very bad decisions about their own retirement and pulling money out, borrowing money, not funding when they should be. so the real issue here is you have to have tough conversations with your kids early on. explain what the family can afford. make your choices wisely. and have the kid be part of the conversation about how we are going to finance this. this is a family decision. this is not about you enabling your kids. >> and you can negotiate tuition? is that true? >> that is true. the kid has to do it, though, not you. mommy and daddy got to stay out of that picture. >> you write, please don't make money more important than it is. what does that mean? >> well, what we have found in looking at a lot of research is that people are pretty happy when they have a certain amount of money. when they can pay their bills and have a house that they can afford. and when we go beyond that
8:18 am
amount of money, you don't get much happier. and so all these money issues that we have seen crop up can really be explained by our emotions. specifically, fear and greed. boy, they are just so important and they have big pulls. the problem is, when you fall prey to those emotions, you can make really bad decisions for yourself. >> you call this chicken soup for the financial soul, which i thought was a really good way to describe it. i come from the generation, my mom used to say it's always better to own rather than rent. if you rent, you're just throwing money away. you don't really have anything to show for it. you give a different perspective in this book. aunt jill, as you call yourself. >> i didn't make that up for myself. that's somebody else's moniker. owning versus renting is a rally important decision. there is that notion, it's the american dream, i have to own. in so many cases, renting is more affordable. you have to run the numbers and say does rent make more sense? does buying make more sense?
8:19 am
and then think of this in a different way. i'll put this to anyone like gayle. instead of saying i'm throwing money out the window, say i'm buying opportunity because renting gives you so much more flexibility and that's what i want people to reconsider it. >> one of the dumbest mistakes that smart people have is not having a will, which seems hard to believe, but a lot of people don't plan. >> unbelievable. and what happens, again, this is an emotional topic. you don't wake up and say, gosh, i really want to contemplate my own death. >> some people don't. >> so -- except john. and what's interesting about it is it's not just about people who have money. this is about your wishes being met. who is going to take care of your kids? how do you want to be treated in the late years of your life and what is going to be the game plan for that? this is incredibly important. again, hard conversations to have, but not having them will not solve the problem. >> you say people make dumb mistakes in retirement. i thought this was interesting because you said you've never met somebody that people say it's very difficult to down
8:20 am
size. but you can't down size without changing your lifestyle. in retirement you think, you have a good nest egg of, say, $2 million you mention in the book, but people are surprised how quickly that goes. $2 million sounds like a lot of money. >> a million sounds like a ton. when people retire early, and they are healthy they say i'm going to spend my money. i'm entitled to that. and i understand that 100%. the problem is, if you spend too much early in your retirement, you are going to face some serious problems later on. and so that's why you have to plan. >> always have to have -- you live off 10% essentially is that true? >> not necessarily. depends on your social security, whether you have a pension. you have to run the numbers. everyone is difference. one thing with having a rule of thumb, it doesn't always work for you. you are unique. you have to think about your situation. >> i like your line about retirement. sometimes it's better to buy a toyota over a mercedes-benz when you first retire. >> absolutely. retirement is a huge issue. people totally understand. i have to save for retirement.
8:21 am
what they don't understand is how am i going to spend in retirement? that's a huge issue. >> your big three list. one, two, three. >> paydown outstanding consumer debt. try to maximize your retirement benefits as best you can and please, please have an emergency reserve fund. 6 to 12 months of your living expenses in a safe place. all those government workers learned the power of having a safety net. you have to create your own. >> check, check, check. and if you have kids that are going to be college age, start investing now in a 521. thank you, jill. the dumb things smart people do with their money is on sale today. it is going to be a "new york times" best seller. >> it is. a big super bowl ad started a surprising spat with a powerful group of american farmers. ahead how bud light's roast about an ingredient not in its beer angered many growers. we'll be right back. angered many growers. we'll be right back. questions. a big brewery super bowl started spats.

the former ambassador there, caroline kennedy. colombia welcomes fleeing venezuelans. only on cbs this morning, caroline kennedy joins us in studio 57. ambassador, good morning. good to see you. >> thank you for having me. >> thanks for coming here to give us your firsthand account of what's happening there. you mentioned 1.2 million venezuelans are estimated tock living in colombia. you went down there with the international rescue committee. >> we saw thousands of people coming over every day just to buy the most basic supplies. food, medicine. many are staying because they just can't go home to venezuela. and what we really saw was that there are millions of children that are not in school. but colombia wants to educate them. so it was incredibly heartbreaking, but i think it also gave me great hope.
8:34 am
>> there is so much natural wealth in venezuela. even just not only the people but certainly the largest oil reserves. and you point out, too, half of their children are not in school. what are the long-term implications not only for venezuela, colombia, but latin america? >> this is the biggest crisis -- refugee crisis in the world today, which i don't think people had realized until recently. and i think that colombia is willing to educate all these children. they just need the resources because the numbers are so much bigger. th a stake in this because if we invest in the future of these children now and in every humanitarian crisis, they'll go home to rebuild their own countries. and that's what we really want. we want a stable colombia and venezuela. >> you talk to kids who say, i want to go to school. >> they are desperate to go to school and the parents, the reason they made the sacrifice to leave home is to give their children a better life and an education. and when we intervene or respond
8:35 am
to these humanitarian crises, only 2% of the money goes to education. >> why is that? >> people don't think it's important. it's a long-term investment. it's not a short-term crisis response. and so -- but i think -- or it's the parents' responsibility. i don't really understand it because i personally, as having worked in education, as a parent, mother, there's nothing more important than having children develop skills, develop their dreams, their hopes and future. >> a lifeline, not a luxury. >> absolutely. and these kids are determined to succeed. and so i think it's a tiny amount of money, and i think that education has to be included with health and shelter as one of the first things we w read, 7 million internally displaced persons in colombia. the largest in the world.% where is the united states in this conversation? used to be the leader of the world in these kinds of
8:36 am
questions. where is the united states? >> well, the contrast, you know, you just can't help but notice it. colombia has open borders. they are welcoming all their neighbors. and they are still recovering from their own civil war. so they are implementing -- that's why there are 7 million people within colombia that have left their own homes. this is a country that's welcoming everyone, committed to educating them. committed to giving them health care. so i think that's the kind of place that we need to invest because we can succeed here. we can give these people hope and they can return home and rebuild their own country which is what we all want. >> colombia isn't the only neighboring country taking in these refugees. i was in peru this past summer. they're also taking in a lot of these refugees. trinidad and tobago as well. are you in favor of the u.s. current policy now in supporting guaido and putting real pressure on maduro hoping that this ends quickly? >> well, i think i'm in favor of working with our allies, and that's something that seems to be happening, which is unusual for this administration.
8:37 am
so this is a fast-moving situation. and i really was focused on kids and education because that keeps getting left out of this discussion. and we end up talking again about all of these things, but it's tremendously hopeful, and the people there are just desperate for a new democratic society where they can -- >> starving to death. >> caroline, always good to see you. you made headlines in 2008 when you endorsed barack obama. anybody catch your eye so far? >> so excited. there are so many great people already in and more to come. >> are you saying me no speak english at this particular time? >> no, i'm not saying that. i'm saying i can't wait. >> fair enough. really good to have you here. super bowl performers maroon 5 are among the latest artists to team up with the grammys trt
