Suze Orman's 2009 Action Plan

Nothing you haven't heard before

I love Suze, but this was a waste of money, she gave the book away free on a website. Same stuff, pay cc's, build emergency fund, don't overspend. Go to the library and get her other books, it will save you $10.

Suze Orman Has a Plan to Get Your Finances on Track

This is a great little paperback (and very affordable) that will help you navigate the new financial obstacles you may be facing in 2009 and beyond. Suze writes with her tough love approach, and is very candid about saying NO when you have to. The book has situations and actions--for example, Situation: your daughter is getting married and you thought you'd have a huge wedding for her. Action: how to realistically plan a wedding that doesn't sink you immediately and in the future.<BR/><BR/>This is like "Eat This, Not That" for finances.<BR/><BR/>If it is hard for you to say NO to yourself or your children, you can make Suze the "bad cop." This is a great reference book that will help you assess your current state, and move forward with a real plan instead of fear or ignorance.<BR/><BR/>Suze Orman writes about complex issues, but breaks actions down into simple, doable steps for anyone.<BR/><BR/>Get a copy for yourself and one for giving away. Most of us will need this in 2009 and beyond.

Suze Orman's Action Plan for 2009

The book is full of new information for these hard time that we are having now. She has updated information from what she had said in the past. I have every books and programs that she has put out. What I like about Suze, is that she make everything so that anyone can understand what she is trying to tell us about our money etc.

Suze has a plan!

Explains the housing crisis with vocabulary that makes it easy to understand. This is really good info for people that are starting out now. That includes both of my children in the young twenties. It gives them goals and a saving "discipline" to develop.

Sound Advise in an Unsound Economy

Well organized information for today's uncertain economic times. However, I wish I had some of this presented to me in this clear format twenty years ago! The book on tape is a good listening and learning tool from Suze Orman.

Great Financial Help in Audio Book Form!

This is a terrific (and very affordable) book on CDs that will help you navigate the new financial obstacles you will be facing in 2009. Suze Orman is reading the book on 4.5 hours of CDs. Four CDs, easy to carry in the car with you¿great for long commutes.<BR/><BR/>Suze has written this book with her tough love approach, and is very candid about saying NO when you have to. The book has situations and actions--for example, Situation: your daughter is getting married and you thought you¿d have a huge wedding for her. Action: how to realistically plan a wedding that doesn¿t sink you immediately and in the future.<BR/><BR/>She has a terrific analogy about the economy being like a gravely ill patient. The patient is now in intensive care and will eventually recover fully, but it will be a long, slow recovery. She graphically tells the grim story, but she also tells how to live with a new game plan for the next few years as the economy slowly recovers.<BR/><BR/>This is like ¿Eat This, Not That¿ for finances.<BR/><BR/>If it is hard for you to say NO to yourself or your children, you can make Suze the ¿bad cop.¿ This is a great reference that will help you assess your current state, and move forward with a plan instead of fear or ignorance.<BR/><BR/>Good gift for yourself or anyone. If you like to listen to her, buy the CDs. If you don¿t, then just buy the book.

This is good if you have lost your job and are in dire straits. I wish it had addressed how to adjust if your income has not dropped but the world is in panic mode.

I saw her on TV recently and she had reversed some of what was in the book. Finally addressing the problems that are happening to those of us who have jobs and are facing the actions of banks and credit card companies that want us to pay for their mistakes.

Suze Orman's 2009 Action Plan

Simple question and answer format. Saves you from staying up late on Saturday nights to obtain the information, although, much of this information should be available on her website for free.

2009 Action Plan

Lot of good info. Lots of the info already seen on The Oprah Show. Nice hands on tool to review if needed.

Suze Knows Her Stuff

Suze Orman really knows her stuff. I haven't finished reading the whole book yet and already I'm finding ways to save money and put her advice to good use.

Good Job; Good Info;

This is a great book, she really covered the waterfront on what to do on credit cards, retirement, the whole gamut of what you need to do. You can get a lot out of it by reading more than once, too; the advice is enduring. Great job, Suzie!

Waste of money

Not for a reasonable person that has established financial goals. This is for the undisciplined with little or no money, deep in debt, and no place to go.

Watch Suze on Oprah

If you have ever seen Suze on television then there is no real need to purchase book. Her theories are mostly common sense. She needs to write a handbook about how we can be better disciplined.

Well worth it!

What a great book! Very easy to read and understand. Extremely relevant to todays financial conditions.

Good for people just starting out with lots of questions

This is a great book. It gave a lot of insight into how to save money, pay down your credit cards, short and long term planning ideas, etc.

One of the important things it talks about is credit and how companies view your credit. I found this really helpful.

If you are an experienced investor, this book is not for you. it's more for people just starting out or those trying to buy a home for the first time.

Relevant to the current economy.

I found the information of great value. This book is good to use in addition to other materials.

You can't go wrong with what Suze suggests

In this economy just having someone who tells you how to prepare yourself now for the present and the future is awesome and with Suze you gain a confidence and piece of mind.

Extremely Helpful

I found this book to be extremely informative and points people in the right direction for handling their money properly. I would recommend this book to anyone who is in a financial bind and wants to live with little to no debt.
