  <description><![CDATA[Money maven Suze Orman's latest book, <em>Women &amp; Money</em> addresses the complicated (and often dysfunctional) relationship women have with personal finance. Orman's direct, non-condescending style is perfect for this subject matter--she begins with the premise that &quot;Women can invest, save, and handle debt as well and skillfully as any man&quot; and then tackles the important question--&quot;So why don't they?&quot; Designed to educate and inspire, <em>Women &amp; Money</em> also offers a &quot;Save Yourself Plan,&quot; a five-month program that &quot;delivers genuine long-term financial security.&quot; Want to know more? Watch a video message from Suze below, and take a gander at the first chapter of <em>Women &amp; Money</em>--you'll be &quot;controlling your destiny&quot; in no time. <em>--Daphne Durham</em>  &lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;h1&quot;&gt;<strong>An Exclusive Video Message from Suze Orman</strong>&lt;/span&gt;<br/><br/> &lt;table align=center cellpadding=&quot;6&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align=&quot;left&quot;&gt; <img src="http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/books/promos/a-plus/suze.jpg" class="escapedImg"/><br/><em>Watch the video</em><br/> &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt;  &lt;p clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt; &lt;hr noshade=&quot;noshade&quot; size=&quot;1&quot; class=&quot;bucketDivider&quot; /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;bucket&quot;&gt; &lt;b class=&quot;h1&quot;&gt;Read the First Chapter of <em>Women &amp; Money</em>&lt;/b&gt;<br/><br/><img src="http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/books/promos/a-plus/suze.stand.jpg" class="escapedImg"/><strong>For Women Only</strong><br/><br/> I never thought I'd write a book about money just for women. I never thought it was necessary. So then why am I doing just that in my eighth book? And why now? Let me explain. All my previous books were written with the belief that gender is not a factor on any level in mastering the nuts and bolts of smart financial management. Women can invest, save, and handle debt just as well and skillfully as any man. I still believe that--why would anyone think differently? So imagine my surprise when I learned that some of the people closest to me in my life were in the dark about their own finances. Clueless. Or, in some cases, willfully resisting doing what they knew needed to be done. I'm talking about smart, competent, accomplished women who present a face to the world that is pure confidence and capability. Do you mean to tell me that I, Suze Orman, who make my living solving the financial problems of total strangers, couldn't spot the trouble brewing so close to home? I don't think I'm blind; I just think that these women became very, very good at hiding their troubles from me.Why not? They had years of practice hiding them from themselves.<br/><br/><em>Read more from Chapter 1...</em><br/><br/> &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt; &lt;hr noshade=&quot;noshade&quot; size=&quot;1&quot; class=&quot;bucketDivider&quot; /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;bucket&quot;&gt;]]></description>

    <![CDATA[<strong><em>Why is it that women, who are so competent in all other areas of their lives, cannot find the same competence when it comes to matters of money?<br/></em></strong><br/><strong>Suze Orman investigates the complicated, dysfunctional relationship women have with money in this groundbreaking new book.</strong> With her signature mix of insight, compassion, and soul-deep recognition, she equips women with the financial knowledge and emotional awareness to overcome the blocks that have kept them from making more out of the money they make. At the center of the book is The Save Yourself Plan—a streamlined, five-month program that delivers genuine long-term financial security. But what’s at stake is far bigger than money itself: <strong>It’s about every woman’s sense of who she is and what she deserves, and why it all begins with the decision to save yourself.<br/><br/></strong><br/><strong>Join the Movement to Save Yourself with this Unprecedented Offer to Readers of Women &amp; Money:<br/><br/></strong>Suze Orman believes that having an account of your own is the cornerstone of long-term financial security, and so she has begun a national movement called <strong>Save Yourself </strong>to turn this wish—that every woman have an account in her own name—into a reality. She is joined in this crusade by the financial brokerage firm TD Ameritrade, which has come up with an extraordinary offer for readers of WOMEN &amp; MONEY. Follow Suze’s <strong>Save Yourself Plan </strong>and open an account in your name with TD Ameritrade. Commit to an automatic deposit of at least $50 per month for twelve consecutive months, and TD Ameritrade will provide the incentive in the form of a $100 deposit into your account in the thirteenth month. In other words, you save $600 or more over the course of a year, and TD Ameritrade will reward that effort with a $100 bonus.

    <![CDATA[Money maven Suze Orman's latest book, <em>Women &amp; Money</em> addresses the complicated (and often dysfunctional) relationship women have with personal finance. Orman's direct, non-condescending style is perfect for this subject matter--she begins with the premise that &quot;Women can invest, save, and handle debt as well and skillfully as any man&quot; and then tackles the important question--&quot;So why don't they?&quot; Designed to educate and inspire, <em>Women &amp; Money</em> also offers a &quot;Save Yourself Plan,&quot; a five-month program that &quot;delivers genuine long-term financial security.&quot; Want to know more? Watch a video message from Suze below, and take a gander at the first chapter of <em>Women &amp; Money</em>--you'll be &quot;controlling your destiny&quot; in no time. <em>--Daphne Durham</em>  &lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;h1&quot;&gt;<strong>An Exclusive Video Message from Suze Orman</strong>&lt;/span&gt;<br/><br/> &lt;table align=center cellpadding=&quot;6&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align=&quot;left&quot;&gt; <img src="http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/books/promos/a-plus/suze.jpg" class="escapedImg"/><br/><em>Watch the video</em><br/> &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt;  &lt;p clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt; &lt;hr noshade=&quot;noshade&quot; size=&quot;1&quot; class=&quot;bucketDivider&quot; /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;bucket&quot;&gt; &lt;b class=&quot;h1&quot;&gt;Read the First Chapter of <em>Women &amp; Money</em>&lt;/b&gt;<br/><br/><img src="http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/books/promos/a-plus/suze.stand.jpg" class="escapedImg"/><strong>For Women Only</strong><br/><br/> I never thought I'd write a book about money just for women. I never thought it was necessary. So then why am I doing just that in my eighth book? And why now? Let me explain. All my previous books were written with the belief that gender is not a factor on any level in mastering the nuts and bolts of smart financial management. Women can invest, save, and handle debt just as well and skillfully as any man. I still believe that--why would anyone think differently? So imagine my surprise when I learned that some of the people closest to me in my life were in the dark about their own finances. Clueless. Or, in some cases, willfully resisting doing what they knew needed to be done. I'm talking about smart, competent, accomplished women who present a face to the world that is pure confidence and capability. Do you mean to tell me that I, Suze Orman, who make my living solving the financial problems of total strangers, couldn't spot the trouble brewing so close to home? I don't think I'm blind; I just think that these women became very, very good at hiding their troubles from me.Why not? They had years of practice hiding them from themselves.<br/><br/><em>Read more from Chapter 1...</em><br/><br/> &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt; &lt;hr noshade=&quot;noshade&quot; size=&quot;1&quot; class=&quot;bucketDivider&quot; /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;bucket&quot;&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong><em>Why is it that women, who are so competent in all other areas of their lives, cannot find the same competence when it comes to matters of money?<br/></em></strong><br/><strong>Suze Orman investigates the complicated, dysfunctional relationship women have with money in this groundbreaking new book.</strong> With her signature mix of insight, compassion, and soul-deep recognition, she equips women with the financial knowledge and emotional awareness to overcome the blocks that have kept them from making more out of the money they make. At the center of the book is The Save Yourself Plan—a streamlined, five-month program that delivers genuine long-term financial security. But what’s at stake is far bigger than money itself: <strong>It’s about every woman’s sense of who she is and what she deserves, and why it all begins with the decision to save yourself.<br/><br/></strong><br/><strong>Join the Movement to Save Yourself with this Unprecedented Offer to Readers of Women &amp; Money:<br/><br/></strong>Suze Orman believes that having an account of your own is the cornerstone of long-term financial security, and so she has begun a national movement called <strong>Save Yourself </strong>to turn this wish—that every woman have an account in her own name—into a reality. She is joined in this crusade by the financial brokerage firm TD Ameritrade, which has come up with an extraordinary offer for readers of WOMEN &amp; MONEY. Follow Suze’s <strong>Save Yourself Plan </strong>and open an account in your name with TD Ameritrade. Commit to an automatic deposit of at least $50 per month for twelve consecutive months, and TD Ameritrade will provide the incentive in the form of a $100 deposit into your account in the thirteenth month. In other words, you save $600 or more over the course of a year, and TD Ameritrade will reward that effort with a $100 bonus. Learn more inside the book or at <u>www.saveyourself.com</u>.<br/><br/><br/>Offer valid for one new TD AMERITRADE account (non-retirement) opened between 2/27/07 and 3/31/08, and funded by 12 monthly consecutive automatic electronic deposits of $50 or more. First $50 must be deposited within 30 days of opening account. To be eligible, you must be a U.S. resident aged 18 or older.

    <![CDATA[Money maven Suze Orman's latest book, <em>Women &amp; Money</em> addresses the complicated (and often dysfunctional) relationship women have with personal finance. Orman's direct, non-condescending style is perfect for this subject matter--she begins with the premise that &quot;Women can invest, save, and handle debt as well and skillfully as any man&quot; and then tackles the important question--&quot;So why don't they?&quot; Designed to educate and inspire, <em>Women &amp; Money</em> also offers a &quot;Save Yourself Plan,&quot; a five-month program that &quot;delivers genuine long-term financial security.&quot; Want to know more? Watch a video message from Suze below, and take a gander at the first chapter of <em>Women &amp; Money</em>--you'll be &quot;controlling your destiny&quot; in no time. <em>--Daphne Durham</em>  &lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;h1&quot;&gt;<strong>An Exclusive Video Message from Suze Orman</strong>&lt;/span&gt;<br/><br/> &lt;table align=center cellpadding=&quot;6&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align=&quot;left&quot;&gt; <img src="http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/books/promos/a-plus/suze.jpg" class="escapedImg"/><br/><em>Watch the video</em><br/> &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt;  &lt;p clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt; &lt;hr noshade=&quot;noshade&quot; size=&quot;1&quot; class=&quot;bucketDivider&quot; /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;bucket&quot;&gt; &lt;b class=&quot;h1&quot;&gt;Read the First Chapter of <em>Women &amp; Money</em>&lt;/b&gt;<br/><br/><img src="http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/books/promos/a-plus/suze.stand.jpg" class="escapedImg"/><strong>For Women Only</strong><br/><br/> I never thought I'd write a book about money just for women. I never thought it was necessary. So then why am I doing just that in my eighth book? And why now? Let me explain. All my previous books were written with the belief that gender is not a factor on any level in mastering the nuts and bolts of smart financial management. Women can invest, save, and handle debt just as well and skillfully as any man. I still believe that--why would anyone think differently? So imagine my surprise when I learned that some of the people closest to me in my life were in the dark about their own finances. Clueless. Or, in some cases, willfully resisting doing what they knew needed to be done. I'm talking about smart, competent, accomplished women who present a face to the world that is pure confidence and capability. Do you mean to tell me that I, Suze Orman, who make my living solving the financial problems of total strangers, couldn't spot the trouble brewing so close to home? I don't think I'm blind; I just think that these women became very, very good at hiding their troubles from me.Why not? They had years of practice hiding them from themselves.<br/><br/><em>Read more from Chapter 1...</em><br/><br/> &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt; &lt;hr noshade=&quot;noshade&quot; size=&quot;1&quot; class=&quot;bucketDivider&quot; /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;bucket&quot;&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong><em>Why is it that women, who are so competent in all other areas of their lives, cannot find the same competence when it comes to matters of money?<br/></em></strong><br/><strong>Suze Orman investigates the complicated, dysfunctional relationship women have with money in this groundbreaking new book.</strong> With her signature mix of insight, compassion, and soul-deep recognition, she equips women with the financial knowledge and emotional awareness to overcome the blocks that have kept them from making more out of the money they make. At the center of the book is The Save Yourself Plan—a streamlined, five-month program that delivers genuine long-term financial security. But what’s at stake is far bigger than money itself: <strong>It’s about every woman’s sense of who she is and what she deserves, and why it all begins with the decision to save yourself.<br/><br/></strong><br/><strong>Join the Movement to Save Yourself with this Unprecedented Offer to Readers of Women &amp; Money:<br/><br/></strong>Suze Orman believes that having an account of your own is the cornerstone of long-term financial security, and so she has begun a national movement called <strong>Save Yourself </strong>to turn this wish—that every woman have an account in her own name—into a reality.

    <![CDATA[<strong><em>Why is it that women, who are so competent in all other areas of their lives, cannot find the same competence when it comes to matters of money?<br/></em></strong><br/><strong>Suze Orman investigates the complicated, dysfunctional relationship women have with money in this groundbreaking new book.</strong> With her signature mix of insight, compassion, and soul-deep recognition, she equips women with the financial knowledge and emotional awareness to overcome the blocks that have kept them from making more out of the money they make. At the center of the book is The Save Yourself Plan—a streamlined, five-month program that delivers genuine long-term financial security. But what’s at stake is far bigger than money itself: <strong>It’s about every woman’s sense of who she is and what she deserves, and why it all begins with the decision to save yourself.<br/><br/></strong><br/><strong>Join the Movement to Save Yourself with this Unprecedented Offer to Readers of Women &amp; Money:<br/><br/></strong>Suze Orman believes that having an account of your own is the cornerstone of long-term financial security, and so she has begun a national movement called <strong>Save Yourself </strong>to turn this wish—that every woman have an account in her own name—into a reality. She is joined in this crusade by the financial brokerage firm TD Ameritrade, which has come up with an extraordinary offer for readers of WOMEN &amp; MONEY. Follow Suze’s <strong>Save Yourself Plan </strong>and open an account in your name with TD Ameritrade. Commit to an automatic deposit of at least $50 per month for twelve consecutive months, and TD Ameritrade will provide the incentive in the form of a $100 deposit into your account in the thirteenth month. In other words, you save $600 or more over the course of a year, and TD Ameritrade will reward that effort with a $100 bonus. Learn more inside the book or at <u>www.saveyourself.com</u>.<br/><br/><br/>Offer valid for one new TD AMERITRADE account (non-retirement) opened between 2/27/07 and 3/31/08, and funded by 12 monthly consecutive automatic electronic deposits of $50 or more. First $50 must be deposited within 30 days of opening account. To be eligible, you must be a U.S. resident aged 18 or older. See <u>www.saveyourself.com</u> for obligations and limitations and to accept this offer.
