Suze Orman tells it like it is. On her televised phone-in show, she has no problem berating callers, breaking them down, and making them feel stupid for their financial foibles. She also writes books.
If you have nothing else to do tonight, and New York City isn’t out of the question, you might want to stop by the Apple Store in SoHo to hear her plug her new book.
Join lifetime Mac user and New York Times bestselling author Suze Orman at the Apple Store to discuss her newly released book, “The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke.” You can purchase a copy of her book at the event and even have Suze sign it afterwards. Also, enter for the chance to win a 12-inch PowerBook and two iPod shuffle music players.
The 12-inch PowerBook sounds nice.

I lost a lot of respect for Suze once she started selling cars for GM.

She takes shots at Dave Ramsey and David Bach in the intro and covers of her book.
She saids she won’t give you crap like giving up lattes and saving 6 months worth of expenses before you move forward.
She also has a section on careers and the home buying process.
JLP beat me to my comment. Just exactly how a 5-year loan at 0% (most likely higher if you’re credit isn’t perfect) to buy a brand-new SUV that will lose a couple grand the second you drive it off the lot escapes me.
That said, although she sold out, my opinion is that any author that gets people to be more aware of their finances is a good thing. Not perfect for everyone, but a good thing. Crap, now I’m sounding like Martha Stewart.

Even though I consider myself a Suze fan (GM commercials notwithstanding), I had pretty well determined to NOT buy this book.
However, if she’s taking shots at other gurus in the intro, then I’ll buy it. And read it with great interest. Bach deserves the shots, IMO. I’m not sure what Suze can hold over Dave Ramsey, though.
Pot, meet kettle, etc.
I almost forgot about those GM commercials. Suze did appear on the cover of the University of Phoenix’s alumni magazine for a story about financial gurus. The editors review Suze, Kiyosaki, the Gardner Brothers and a few others, pointing out their strengths and faults.
I have all of her other books. I don’t know what this one will say that the others did not.
