1. Her site lists her upcoming tv appearances... perhaps she'll go over it again...
2. If you like Suze Orman, check out Dave Ramsey (daveramsey.com). Suze Orman is ok but she is too obsessed with the credit score. In the movie "Maxed Out," they report that her salary is paid by credit card companies and the credit bureau. Kind of a conflict of interest.
3. 1) Try to get out of credit card debt. 2) Begin a 6-8 month emergency fund 3) Sign up for your 401(k) to the point of the match, then fund a Roth IRA 4) Look for the best buy on a home. Purchase only if you have enough for a 10%-20% down payment and qualify for a 30-15 year fixed mortgage. 5) Never loan money or co-sign for someone 6) Annuities - single premium deferred annuity is ok, but never buy variable annuities within a retirement account 7) Buy individual bonds, not bond funds 8) Get a will and a living revocable trust 9) Get term life insurance only 10) Buy no-load mutual funds only.
