Product Description 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?
Suze Orman investigates the complicated, dysfunctional relationship women have with money in this groundbreaking new book. 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: 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.
Amazon.com Review Money maven Suze Orman's latest book, Women & Money 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 "Women can invest, save, and handle debt as well and skillfully as any man" and then tackles the important question--"So why don't they?" Designed to educate and inspire, Women & Money also offers a "Save Yourself Plan," a five-month program that "delivers genuine long-term financial security." Want to know more?

For Women Only
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.
Not the best I've read November 22, 2008 I love Suze Orman and as a 26 year old woman I was more that excited about learning how to control my own destiny by learning all I could about my money. The problem....I would like to enjoy it before I retire. Suze should change all the names of her books to. " Suffer now, Retire rich part 1, 2, 3 and 4" because that's the philosphy of her books. I am more interested in learning techniques that can produce results in 3-5 years. 35 years is too long to reap the harvest. This book has it's place but it didn't help me much.
New Possibilities! November 2, 2008 29 out of 29 found this review helpful
I never imagined in a million years I would pick up a book on personal finance. I had an idea that investments and numbers were just too hard, something I'd never understand. Reading Suze Orman's "Women & Money" turned that notion on its head. Her warm, funny and no-nonsense book is not only informative and empowering, it is also really enjoyable to read. While she offers plenty of detailed and helpful financial advice, the underlying theme throughout -and what really impacted me- is that control of your financial destiny begins with you. How you treat your money is an extension of how you treat yourself. Her 'Save Yourself Plan' is about letting go of the old excuses that say 'I can't' and letting go of the shame and blame of past decisions; it's about empowering yourself with knowledge and starting fresh from exactly where you are in this moment.
A wonderful companion book to Ms. Orman's that expands on these ideas is Ariel and Shya Kane's Working on Yourself Doesn't Work: The 3 Simple Ideas That Will Instantaneously Transform Your Life. Their inspiring approach to living in the moment (instead of in a continuous loop of worry about the past and the future) gives you the tools to dissolve those old, limiting stories about yourself ("I'm not good with numbers!") and step into a life that is easy, alive, and full of possibility.
Promotes Financial Accountability for Women November 1, 2008 This is an excellent book that I would recommend to any woman who wants to gain organization and control over her financial situation. The book is written is an easy to understand format. It clearly explains what actions need to be taken each month, for five months, to create order surrounding your finances. Buy this book, get out your highlighter, mark the steps you are going to take, and check them off as completed.
Strong material October 28, 2008 Suze Orman provides an excellent perspective on women and power/money. Very useful information with interactive website. Nice.
Best Product for Women October 24, 2008 If you are a woman, you need Suze Orman's 'Women & Money.' It is a must in order to gain knowledge about your finances, so you will not have to rely on someone else or pay a huge fee for attorneys or financial assistants. Great - great product.
