Women & Money

by Suze Orman

Achieve financial peace of mind with the million-copy #1 New York Times bestseller, now revised and updated for 2018, featuring an entirely new Financial Empowerment Plan and a bonus chapter on investing.

The time has never been more right for women to take control of their finances. The lessons, revelations, and shocks of the past few years have made it clear that standing in our truth is the only way to care for ourselves, our families, and our finances.

With her signature mix of insight, compassion, and practical advice, Suze equips women with the financial knowledge and emotional awareness to overcome the blocks that have kept them from acting in the best interest of their money—and themselves. Whether you are single or in a committed relationship, a successful professional, a worker struggling to make ends meet, a stay-at-home parent, or a creative soul, Suze offers the possibility of living a life of true wealth, a life in which you own the power to control your destiny.

At the center of this fully revised and updated edition, Suze presents an all-new Financial Empowerment Plan, designed to get you to a place of emotional and financial security as quickly as possible—because the most precious commodity women have is time. Divided into four essential components, the plan will teach you how to

Protect yourself
Spend smart
Build your future
Give to others

Also included is a bonus chapter on investing—for those who are living by Suze’s unbreakable financial ground rules and ready to learn how to invest with confidence.

Women & Money speaks to every mother, daughter, grandmother, sister, and wife. It gives listeners the opportunity to tap into Suze’s unique spirit, people-first wisdom, and unparalleled appreciation that for women, money itself is not the end goal. It’s the means to living a full and meaningful life.

I’ve never been OK with affirmations that state a wish as though it’s a current fact. It’s weird to me that Suze first tells the reader to do this and both wrote and say this lie out loud 25x/day: “I created a new truth to silence my fear. … My new truth was: I am young, powerful, and successful and I make at least $10k a month. … Mind you, at the time I was 30 years old and I’d been earning $400 a month and living off of Taco Bell.” BUT in her next chapter, she insists that a wealthy woman must live in harmony and balance. They must also be beautiful and happy while prioritizing cleanliness.

To be honest, the middle of this book has some decent generic financial advice with a beginning and ending meant to tie in the “women” aspect. For me, those tie ins fell flat. It feels like it is written for cis, white, middle class, able-bodied women who will never become disabled until they’re elderly and need long term care.

Has some basic finical information but reading this allows me to stay on the road to make large payments to get out of debt. Was not happy with the fact that many of the links that are in this book does not work. Was very annoyed by that. 3.5 Stars

Good, basic financial advice for women of all ages. Actually, men may benefit from reading his as well. What you get out of this depends on where you are in your financial journey.

Con: published in 2018 and some of the links are not functional in 2025

Useful! Both the practical financial tips and the dive into emotional issues related to money (as a woman) were helpful. (I think this book could be helpful for many men as well.)
