But Suze (pronounced "Suzie") Orman means business in this anecdote-rich compendium of tips on 401(k)s, marriage, homes, and happiness. The PBS star/financial adviser has made plenty of the mistakes she warns against, like getting a 30-year mortgage instead of a cheaper 15-year, using Visa cards as magic carpets to calamity, and losing $20,000 in borrowed bucks to bum investment advice. Then she became a Merrill Lynch broker and an author capable of selling 10,000 books in 12 minutes on QVC. <p> Orman's point--in this and her No. 1 bestseller <I>The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom</I>--is that you'd better face fiscal facts and avoid fear, denial, and the self-fulfilling low expectations the novelist William Wharton called "the Poverty Mind." America is a nation of check-bouncing, late-fee-incurring, guilty bad planners. How long will it take to pay off that $3,000 Visa bill with minimum payments? Thirty years, you poor, dear fool! What would you gain if you bought stocks instead of your daily latte for 30 years? $165,152! Her book might've been titled <I>The Courage Not to Be a Self-Sabotaging Neurotic</I>. <p> Orman is the Andrew Weil of money health--she yearns to enrich your life emotionally, too. If you can't stand discussions of the psychological origins of fiscal decisions, or self-help lingo like "money is attracted to people who are strong and powerful, respectful of it, and open to receiving it," you'll want a more nuts-and-bolts adviser. If you want pep talk, true tales of woe and makeovers, and a jolt of a true pop culture phenomenon, Suze is for you. <I>--Tim Appelo</I> 1008209 1999 The Courage to be Rich: Creating a Life of Material and Spiritual Abundance total:195|5:31|4:91|3:61|2:11|1:1| 195 725 319 31 5 2 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2003 Fri Aug 17 21:25:33 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 17 21:30:06 -0700 2007
