Women & Money is Suze at her best! As always, Suze's books are not your typical finance books. Filled with Suze's passion, humor and energy, it will make you laugh; it will make you cry, as you identify with the stories and insights Suze shares.
In the first part of the book, it is as if Suze knows you personally as she gets to the heart of why women often sabotage themselves when it comes to their money. Suze discusses that women are extremely capable of being successful with their money, but women by nature are nurturers, so they put everyone before themselves. While this is not a bad trait Suze explains, women just need to give themselves and their money the same amount of attention they give everyone else, then all will benefit. Suze also addresses shame and blame; how these attitudes keep women powerless and how women undervalue themselves by putting themselves on sale.
In part two, Suze gives you a five-month action plan that simplifies everything from checking and savings accounts, credit cards, investing for retirement, wills, trusts and insurance. If that isn't enough, Suze wants you to get in the habit of saving money, so she created the "Save Yourself Plan" at TD Ameritrade. Very simply, you set up a savings account and contribute a minimum of $50 per month for twelve consecutive months, then in the thirteenth month you will receive a $100 bonus in addition to the one year's interest.
Kudos to Suze for empowering women everywhere, and helping us understand money better! - From a reader

Orman was born on the south side of Chicago, Illinois in 1951 to Jewish immigrants Ann and Morry Orman. Orman came from a working class background and has said that she did not "grow up with money". She was an undergraduate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from which she holds a B.A. in social work. In 1973, she and some friends moved to Berkeley, California, where she became a waitress at the Buttercup Bakery until 1980. From 1980-1983, she was trained by and worked as an Account Executive at Merrill Lynch, and from 1983-87 she was Vice President of Investments for Prudential Bache Securities. In 1987, Orman founded her own business, the Suze Orman Financial Group, which she directed from 1987-1997.
Her books include:
The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom (1997) You've Earned It, Don't Lose It: Mistakes You Can't Afford to Make When You Retire (with Linda Mead) (1997) The Courage to Be Rich (1998) The Road to Wealth (2001) The Laws of Money, the Lessons of Life... (2003) The Money Book for the Young Fabulous and Broke (2005) Women and Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny (2007) Other publications: Orman also has a Q&A advice section in Oprah Winfrey's popular monthly magazine O, alongside Dr. Phil's advice section. She also writes a biweekly column (as of Jan 2007) on Yahoo!'s Finance page.
She also hosts a weekend financial planning show for the CNBC cable television network called The Suze Orman Show. Orman hosts another TV program on QVC called Suze Orman's Financial Freedom. Orman had recently celebrated her fifth year on The Suze Orman Show on CNBC. And also celebrated her tenth anniversary on QVC with Suze Orman's Financial Freedom.
She has won two Daytime Emmy Awards in 2004 and 2006 for her PBS pledge drive specials, The Laws of Money, The Lessons of Life and The Money Show for the Young, Fabulous, & Broke. Her catch phrases are "Self-worth equals net worth," "People First, Then Money, Then Things," and "Truth creates money. Lies destroy it." "People First, Then Money, Then Things" is the catch phrase Orman ends "The Suze Orman Show" with every week.
In early 2007, Orman launched a segment on The Suze Orman Show called "Can I Afford It?" During the segment viewers call in to the show and tell Orman what they want to buy - e.g. engagement ring, car, HDTV, etc. - then tell her the amount of savings they have - retirement savings, credit card savings, home loans, etc. Then Orman decides if the caller is approved and can afford the item, or if they are denied and can't afford it. The segment airs every week and has grown to be the most popular segment on the show. - From http://en.wikipedia.org

From the publisher
Why is it that women, who are so competent in all other areas of their lives, cannot find the same competence when it comes to matters of money?
Suze Orman investigates the complicated, dysfunctional relationship women have with money in this groundbreaking new book. With her signature mix of insight, compassion, and soul-deep recognition, she equips women with the financial knowledge and emotional awareness to overcome the blocks that have kept them from making more out of the money they make. At the center of the book is The Save Yourself Plan - a streamlined, five-month program that delivers genuine long-term financial security. But what's at stake is far bigger than money itself: It's about every woman's sense of who she is and what she deserves, and why it all begins with the decision to save yourself.
Join the Movement to Save Yourself with this Unprecedented Offer to Readers of Women & Money:
Suze Orman believes that having an account of your own is the cornerstone of long-term financial security, and so she has begun a national movement called Save Yourself to turn this wish - that every woman have an account in her own name - into a reality. She is joined in this crusade by the financial brokerage firm TD Ameritrade, which has come up with an extraordinary offer for readers of WOMEN & MONEY. Follow Suze's Save Yourself Plan and open an account in your name with TD Ameritrade. Commit to an automatic deposit of at least $50 per month for twelve consecutive months, and TD Ameritrade will provide the incentive in the form of a $100 deposit into your account in the thirteenth month. In other words, you save $600 or more over the course of a year, and TD Ameritrade will reward that effort with a $100 bonus. ...

Every woman has a responsibility to educate herself and her daughters in money management, financial responsibility, and financial investment. When I was growing up this was a "man's business" and no one talked to girls about finance. We do ourselves and our daughters a disservice.
Ms. Orman's newest book takes her wisdom and proven advice and applies it to a gender desperately in need of it. A valuable reference for those who want to know more about money matters and how to teach it to our children. As usual, Suze knows best! Use this book to build a better future for yourself, and to plan ahead for your children!

I really like Suze's show and think she offers great common-sense advice that some of us just don't think of. In this book, I think it's good that she addresses the issues that women have with finance because a lot of women find it difficult to really get excited about saving, investing, and otherwise being good with money- most of us would rather shop than look into retirement planning. This book is a great survey of our innate tendencies (similar to a really funny book I just read- "How to Take Advantage of the people Who are Trying to Take Advantage of You" by Morse- like how we jump at a sale sign, even though the price may not be any better) and how to overcome them to become successful financially. A lot of the advice is redundant (from her "9 Steps" book too), but it's all really good advice and it makes sense to target women.
Also, I'd like to add that I enjoyed reading her history about her rise through the financial planning world and Merrill Lynch. I could definitely relate to her story and experiences. The bit about women wanting her to "baby sit their money." It's unfortunately true. |

This book is excellent. I have known many woman, whose husban divorced them after some 20 years of marriage and they had no idea how to handle money. So what if she doesnt marry or have kids. Her job is to give fincial advice. Why should it be anybody elses business what stocks she invests in? Read the book before judging. I think that every woman should read this book. |

Finally a financial "magician" without the smoke and mirrors! The is a must read for any woman interested in financial freedom and independence. I thought I was investment savvy until I read this book and realized how many simple, common-sense mistakes I have made with my very hard earned money. Ms. Orman has opened my eyes. Thank you so much! |
