Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
When Suze Orman was 13 she watched her father dive into the flames of his burning take-out chicken shack in order to rescue his cash register. In that moment Orman learned that money was more important than life itself. And so it became her quest to be rich. But years later, when Orman became a wealthy broker with a huge investment firm, she was profoundly unhappy. What went wrong? She had not yet achieved financial freedom. In her nine-step program, Orman covers the ingredients to financial success--confronting our beliefs and fears, learning the nuts and bolts (and insiders secrets!) of savvy management, and finding the spiritual trust that leads to abundance.
Product Description
Managing money is far more than a matter of balancing our checkbooks or picking investments?witness the fact that many of us know what we ought to be doing with our money yet often just don't do it. This is the first personal finance book that gives us not only the knowledge of how to han-dle money, but also the power to break through the barriers that hold us back.
Suze Orman, best-selling author of You've Earned It, Don 't Lose it, goes beyond the nuts and bolts of managing money to explore the psychological, even spiritual, power money has in our lives. Before we can get control of our finances, we must get control of our attitudes about money, feelings that were shaped by our earliest experiences with it. Letting go of these anxieties and creating new attitudes are the first steps of Suze Orman's program.
Next comes mastering the practical elements of financial life: investments, credit, insurance, and estate and retirement planning. This book tells you everything you need to know to provide for your-self and your family?not abstract principles but specific, concrete, and easy-to-follow procedures. Here you will also find the latest tax code revisions regarding estate taxes, inheritance, and individual retirement allowances (IRAs), including vital information on the new Roth IRA and educational IRAs and how to make them work best for you. You'll also learn why you should trust your own instincts more than someone else's advice in making any financial decision.
Finally come the most unusual -- and powerful -- steps: understanding the spiritual side of money. As Suze Orman explains, financial freedom is about realizing that we are worth far more than our money. Her program concludes by showing how to leave behind financial anxieties and open ourselves to true abundance?not only of the pocketbook but also of the heart.

An interesting book about planning out a life long strategy for handling and accumulating money. The only problem with this book is that most of the techniques discussed are applicable only in the USA because of the system of tax breaks on pensions and savings schemes. We Europeans would find very little of use in this book .

This book is just what I needed to face up to my financial circumstances. Although some of the advice is only relevent in detail to the USA, the vast bulk of the discussion and practical tips really help to get to grips with your finances - and even quite enjoy it! It doesn't just get you to look at your money either - this book encourages and enables you to think about your attitudes towards money and where they come from. It has triggered some soul searching, and the beginnings of change in my financial life.

Format:Hardcover
Inappropriate for the U.K.market as very many of the issues are focussed on U.S. financial products and taxation. Side one of the four-side tape recording is totally devoted to introspection. Personally I found the psycho-analysis nauseating and irrelevant. The seemingly ever pervasive search to allocate 'blame' for one's actions on previous experiences is surprising, to say the least, in a 'financial book'. Disappointing, irrelevant and basic. A poor buy.
