The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke by Suze Orman

Her advice at times bucks conventional wisdom (did she just say use your credit card?) and may even seem counter-intuitive (pay into a retirement fund even though your credit card debt is killing you?), but it's her honesty, understanding, and uncanny ability to anticipate the needs of her readers that has made her the most trusted financial expert of her day. Throughout these pages, there are icons that direct readers to a special YF&B domain on Suze's website that offers more specialized information, forms, and interactive tools that further customize the information in the book. Concisely, pragmatically, and without a whiff of condescension, Suze Orman tells her young, fabulous & broke readers precisely what actions to take and why. The Money Book was written to address the specific financial reality that faces young people today and offers a set of real, not impossible solutions to the problems at hand and the problems ahead. This generation has it tough, without a doubt, but they're also painfully aware of the urgent need to take matters into their own hands. They live off their credit cards, may or may not have health insurance, and come up so far short at the end of the month that the idea of saving money is a joke. The goals of their parents' generation - buy a house, support a family, send kids to college, retire in style - seem absurdly, depressingly out of reach.

They're called 'Generation Debt' and 'Generation Broke' by the media - people in their twenties and thirties who graduate college with a mountain of student loan debt and are stuck with one of the weakest job markets in recent history. The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke is financial expert Suze Orman's answer to a generation's cry for help. The New York Times bestselling financial guide aimed squarely at 'Generation Debt'-and their parents-from the country's most trusted and dynamic source on money matters.
