Suze Orman s seminar-format video offers a financial pep talk to accompany her book of the same title. Though a good deal of her nine steps are nothing new or revolutionary--plan for the future, cut your credit-card debt, organize your estate, respect money, and take charge of your own money--she makes a few noteworthy points. Using psychology to flush out attitudes about money, she asks the members of her audience to think about their earliest memories of money and how it shapes their relationship with it now. She recognizes the feelings of shame and guilt associated with money and tells us to get over it--that these feelings are the very ones that paralyze our path to financial freedom. Her basic formula of financial freedom seems difficult to achieve since it requires us to factor in self-esteem, organization, dedication, and feelings of entitlement. She also feels strongly that stating your goal will make it happen, no matter how impossible it seems, which is reminiscent of the psychology behind the Little Engine That Could--a bit simplistic when it comes to the complicated but still accessible world of finances. Orman s target audience is both one that needs a financial pep talk and one that isn t necessarily well versed in financial jargon. A person of any age can find something useful in her helpful, if urgent-sounding, reminders. She uses some statistical scare tactics--such as mentioning that one in three people over the age of 65 will end up in a nursing home, so you d better get long-term care insurance--to drive her points home but then buffers them with an everything happens for the best and your self-worth is more important than your net worth-type philosophy. Orman ends the lecture with an enlightening question-and-answer session that elaborates on points not covered by her speech, such as how to find a good financial planner and the differences between retirement funds. Those looking for a specific formula to financial freedom may have to look elsewhere, as Suze Orman s philosophy is that we ourselves can and should be our own best financial advisors since we know ourselves better than any financial writer or planner ever could. --Gilia Angell

Useful bits - I found this book to be sowewhat educational with a some good ideas here and there. With books like this, I try the philosophy ",absorb what is useful",. Some things are very helpful and some are just conceit in my opinion. I wouldn t pay too much for it, but every little bit of simple info helps.

Outstanding book Suze - The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom is OUTSTANDING in presentation and content. Suze is indeed the Queen of personal finance and the most widely read financial author today.In addition to this great book, I also recommend More Wealth Without Risk and Financial Self Defense by Charles Givens. Two books that gives even more OUTSTANDING advice that you won t find anywhere else.Great books. Good luck!

My favorite personal finance book - Although Suze has written newer material, 9 Steps is still my favorite personal finance book. I believe it is the best personal finance book bar none.These fans of Quinn need to get a life. If Quinn is so great, how come her book doesn t sell and those that bought it [myself included] were vastly dissappointed with it.Besides, Quinn has her own place to write reviews. Why come over here unless it is a desperate attempt to drum up interest in her pathetic book.

This is only a mini book? Well thank you!!!!! (READ THE AD) - I mean it says that right on this Amazon website and it is advertized as a mini book so why would any intelligent (key word: intelligent) think otherwise before buying it?Next time before posting and making a fool out of yourself, why not try reading the Amazon website first? Good advice? Your welcome!

9 Steps to Financial Freedom. Excellent Book! - This is the first personal finance book that gives you not only the knowledge of how to handle money, but also the will to break through all the barriers that hold you back. This groundbreaking book goes beyond the nuts and bolts of managing money to explore the psychological, even spiritual power money has in our lives, along with useful advice and inspiration from the leading voice in personal finance. The pivotal insight in this book teaches you about redefining financial freedom -- and realizing that you are worth far more than your money. Highly Recommended!
