Suze Orman - The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom
Suze Orman's reading of the audio version of her bestselling book The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom is nothing if not intense. Coming at you with the force of a summer hurricane heading for Cape Fear
To show her commitment to our financial well-being, Orman packs this abridgment with an unusual combination of practical advice and psychological exercises. During our three hours with her, we receive arguably the best education available on mutual funds, estate planning, income taxes--even life insurance. But we also learn how to "face our fear" of money by exploring our past for the source of the fear. Later, she tells us that giving money to charity actually helps us release this fear. And, in perhaps her most startling step ("trust yourselves more than others"), Orman suggests we follow our inner voice while making investment decisions, a voice she believes comes from God.
Whatever you may thing of that revelation, it's impossible to be put off by Orman's candid, idiosyncratic approach to money management. This is one self-help tape that lives up to the genre. Listeners who stick with Orman till the end will be truly inspired to take money matters into their own hands--and they'll likely get started immediately. (Running time: 10 hours and 43 minutes, two cassettes) --Ann Senechal --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.
5.0 out of 5 stars From paycheck to wealth,
A very successul friend once told me that you can live off your income but you can't get wealthy off you income, you only get wealthy by investing and properly managing yourmoney.This book will kickstart you and help make you money smart.I also suggest Financial Self Defense and More Wealth without Risk to add more financial strategies to your arsenal.All three books are must reading.
5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, useful, multidimensional
Just finished reading this...and then immediately went into work and changed my 401(k) contribution to the maximum. Also am looking for a money market account and will begin managing my own IRA stuff...now that I feel more comfortable doing it. Plan to lend the book to friends, and called my parents to tell them to get a copy and start getting things in order...such as getting a trust instead of a will, getting LTC insurance, etc. I liked her straightforward writing style; she has a knack for explaining the "mysterious" world of investing and finance in a way you can quickly and easily understand. She makes you feel more confident...that you can indeed manage your money. In today's often confusing world, it was very helpful to hear that you can trust your intuition and you don't have to "fall prey" to financial advisors. Also, from personal experience, I know that her advice about "good brings good" and "respect of money will bring you more money" is true. My husband got in a serious accident a year ago and at the time we were in a bad bad financial position--no emergency funds, high credit card debt, prospects of little or no income. This "kick in the pants" helped me to take control of my money and now a year later our credit cards are paid off, we have 4 months of bills in the bank, and I am maxing out my 401(k). Suze Orman's book came to me just when I was ready for the next step, and I am putting it to good use. I highly recommend!!!

This review is from: 9 Steps to Financial Freedom: Practical and Spiritual Steps So You Can Stop Worrying; Revised and Updated Version (Paperback)
Suze Orman is the premier financial author for the times. So much useful information. First, she gets you thinking right about money, then Suze shows you how to save and prosper.Suze says that the best financial planner you will ever find is the one that stares at you in the mirror and she is correct. Nobody is more concerned about your money than you are.I moved money out of my bank that was dead money sitting in savings, cd's and money market accounts and opened a money market mutual fund instead. This replaces my bank checking account as well.My investment capitol is now in mutuals (Vanguard 500 index) some blue chip stocks (GE, LRK) and I am using 5% of my portolio for buying options and write covered calls. With the market down, I recently added the Diamonds and the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) exchange funds.Along with 9 Steps I also recommend Wall Street Money Machine by Wade Cook and Stock Split Secrets. Great book Suxe and congrats on your new position at CNBC. I look forward to listening to your words of wisdom.
