Aimed specifically at "Generation Broke"--those in their twenties and thirties who are working yet buried in credit card debt and student loans--this user-friendly guide offers a clear introduction to practical investing and money management techniques that can turn even a dismal financial situation around. Bestselling author Suze Orman has a knack for taking the fear out of money matters, and in <I>The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous &: Broke</I>, she shows readers how to set priorities and achieve goals, whether it is to buy a house or save for retirement or pay for a child's education. She also offers inspiration to readers to face their financial problems and get started on a solution. After all, there is good news: young people still have the time to correct problems so that they will never be broke again. Readers who find terms such as diversification and IRA rollover scary--or worse, unimportant--will learn much from this book. <p> In these pages, Orman clearly and succinctly explains what a FICO score is and why it's so important, offers the lowdown on stocks and mutual funds, provides career advice, and offers lots of tips on dealing with student loan debt, saving money even when times are tight, debt consolidation strategies, and the safest way for newlyweds to merge their finances. She also offers information on credit cards, including why canceling cards is not a good idea, when it makes sense to use them, and the best strategies for paying them off. It may not be the only money book you'll ever need, but it's an excellent place to start. <I>--Shawn Carkonen</I> 936177 27 3 2007 The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke total:1376|5:438|4:522|3:334|2:65|1:17| 1376 5427 1939 327 3 1 false false Tue Jan 01 19:02:19 -0800 2008 Tue Oct 02 10:22:03 -0700 2007 Wed Dec 26 18:29:43 -0800 2007 more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Jun 13 08:08:31 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 13 08:18:19 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 1 false false Tue Apr 03 12:04:08 -0700 2007 Tue Apr 03 12:04:12 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 1 false false Wed Mar 12 10:39:19 -0700 2008 Thu May 17 12:02:04 -0700 2007 Thu Sep 27 15:33:53 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Sat Dec 13 22:28:55 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 13 22:29:23 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 19:50:14 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 19:57:43 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Dec 18 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 18 09:44:03 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 18 09:49:26 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Feb 26 08:19:18 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 10:51:35 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 26 08:19:18 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun May 31 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue May 26 18:25:21 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 12:53:49 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Mar 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 08:51:41 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 07:31:36 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Dec 02 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Oct 25 19:03:15 -0700 2008 Tue Dec 02 12:51:48 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Jan 19 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 13 20:45:14 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 19 12:36:52 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Oct 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 05:51:58 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 05:55:00 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jul 15 17:49:11 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 17:58:21 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sun Jun 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 05:48:30 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 07:35:19 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Oct 11 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 11 19:22:59 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 11 23:49:27 -0700 2008
