“Which brings me to Suze Orman and her new best-seller, ‘Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny’. While it is written for American readers, it is a worthwhile read for Canadians – both women and men.”
“That there is a need in the 21st century for such books is a sad comment on a society that has been witness to commercials as far back as the 1960s crowing that ‘you’ve come a long way, baby.’ After all, money and finances are the same money and finances to everyone, right? Wrong, says Orman, who has written seven best-selling financial self-help books, is the host of her own Saturday night show on CNBC-TV and has a life story that is testimony to the fact that women can change their lives financially.”
“But the backbone of the book is a fivemonth course of action, called The Save Yourself Plan, that contains lots of good advice for people – not just women – who might want to help themselves financially. Orman asks the reader to devote one full day each month to complete the tasks laid out for the month.”
“Much of the information is backed up with more detail and interactive pointers on Orman’s Web site, www.suzeorman.com, which provides an extra dimension. And, in what is probably a publishing first, Orman and TD Ameritrade offer readers a US $100 bonus if they open a new TD Ameritrade account and deposit US $50 a month for one year.”
