Get to Know the Money Lady: Suze Orman Offers Unique Personal Financial Advice

 | Feb 21,2008


Best-selling author Suze Orman, widely known as “the money lady,” offers her own unique brand of personal financial advice to millions. With a popular TV show, products for sale on TV and a new book in stores, Orman’s name is everywhere lately- and for good reason. Her personal financial advice helps people rid themselves of debt and also work on successful financial plan for the future.

Orman Understands the Money Woes of Fans

Suze Orman feels like she can relate to her fans who struggle with debt. Orman paid her dues, and then some, as a struggling student growing up in south side Chicago. After working as a waitress throughout her twenties and making just enough to get by, a customer gave her a $50,000 loan to invest in her future. She invested her savings with a shady stock broker and lost everything. This propelled Orman to become a stock broker herself, and she soon began writing books offering her own brand of personal financial advice- much to the chagrin of her peers.

Orman Explains Biggest Money Mistakes

The biggest mistake people make with their money is spending too much and saving too little, says Orman. The author and broker feels strongly that people spend to impress other people, worrying too much about unimportant matters. The risks, says Orman, lie in the fact that while spending too much to keep up with the Joneses, not enough money is being put into a 401(k) plan or in an emergency savings account. It’s a message that speaks strongly to both men and women, and the reason why her books, CDs, DVDs, TV show and column in O, the Oprah Magazine have an evergreen popularity.

Orman’s Personal Finance Advice at the Heart of Best-Selling Books

Orman’s books highlight her ideas for personal financial advice strategies. Orman’s advice is folksy and easy to understand, without being condescending. Some of her internationally popular books include The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom, The Courage to Be Rich and The Money Book for the Young Fabulous and Broke. The books outline her personal financial advice and offer tips for saving money and getting out of debt.

Suze Orman Makes a Splash with Latest Book on Money

Suze Orman’s latest book, Women & Money, was available through a free download for a day and a half on Oprah Winfrey’s website. The book was downloaded more than 1 million times. Orman stated she wanted to make the book available to as many people as possible, because she feels its message is so important. The book outlines a five-month plan to achieve financial security, in keeping with her personal finance advice strategies. In addition to being a favorite writer and frequent quest of The Oprah Winfrey Show, Orman also has a number of other products for sale, including kits to guard against identity theft and to set up wills and trusts.
