We have a confession to make: Suze Orman scares the bejeezus out of us. Her voice, the way her face contorts into a million expressions, it feels like she’s right in our living room giving us a lecture on bad money management. But we have to admit that there’s some perverse pleasure in watching her show, especially when she invites a guest viewer to pour out his or her financial woes. It’s like watching a lion tearing into a bunny rabbit. It makes us want to bleat, “Just say you’ll stop using the credit cards, just say it!”
That’s why when we came across her book, The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke on Amazon, it took us some time to consider buying it. But despite her rather grating nature, we have to admit that Suze does dispense some excellent advice, and we like her brand of tough love. Her mantra is that life comes first and money second, but in a sensible manageable balance, so if your life philosophy falls in her line with her thinking, you should consider picking this up.
