I have had this book on my nightstand for years, but have avoided reading it because I feared I would get a bit of a scolding for my financial habits and I was also worried that it would be too dry to read before bedtime. Please have another look and correct your work. Not only that, but I've counted at least 3 times where double-negatives have made a sentence non-sensical, or where a sentence cancels out what the sentence prior to it states.
There are lots of anecdotes to keep the topics interesting and relatable. Did anyone edit this book for Kindle. After buying a Kindle, this is the first non-work-related book I've read during my commute.This book is suprisingly easy to read.
What. The information in this book is invaluable.But I have to say, I am shocked at the number of typos and editing errors. This book has been out for a LONG time, yet there's an instance on just about every page of two words being smashed together without a space between them.
This criticism is in no way aimed at the author, but the publisher. You should be embarrassed.
She generally introduces a topic, gives real life examples, discusses these, then gives the reader an exercise to do. Another lesson she discusses, which is probably news to many readers, is that you must be generous with money before you can truly be wealthy. In general, Suze discusses end of life matters (wills, trusts, ect)., investing (retirement plans, mutual funds, etf's, etc)., saving your money (spending within you means, credit cards, etc)., and the psychology of why people ignore these issues (childhood experiences with money), and how you should handle your wealth responsibly (take control of it, plan accordingly for your death, and give to those in need). This book is great for people who would like to get control of their finances and is an equally great refresher for those who already have their finances under control. By donating some of your money, you are releasing your fears of losing it, and freeing yourself to earn more. In relation to finances, this generally leads to losing money.
If you ignore this voice inside of you, you are ignoring your true self and in time, this voice will win the yelling match and you will have to face it.
She gets a little too psychological and spiritual at times for my taste, but she did hit a lot of underlying truths.
I do think this is true for most people.
I'm in the latter but it was still worth reading, though I did skip some of the credit card and budgeting stuff.
She says this puts you in touch with the best part of yourself.
For example, she says the sixth law of financial freedom is to trust your inner voice.
I think this is true for finances, as well as all of lifes decisions in fact.
It reminds of the philosophy in Lao Tze's Tao de Ching, which basically says to get something, you must first not want it.
Great read, especially for less than $6.
Thank you Suze for your quick, no nonsense approach to managing money. Your WONDERFUL. Your book has been great for myself and countless others.that's why it's selling so well.
Your book is the kick in the pants I needed and my husband thanks you as well. I find it to be extremely helpful. I feel like I can go on now and not be afraid of what to do next.
They already know who you are and what your about ,so it's their own damn fault if they don't like it. I can't believe that there are some (people). on here, saying that this book is not helpful ,if that's the case they need to get some other book and just shut up already.
I can't wait to get your other book's as well. Thank you again.
The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom include incorporating the proper mindset as well as tips on managing money, investing, and setting up proper wills, trusts, and insurance plans.Orman writes in a friendly manner making her content enjoyable and easy to read. As a leader in mainstream financial advice, Suzie Orman has become successful by providing intelligent financial advice that works. Orman is a proponent of financial accountability and sound money management declaring that financial freedom begins with the way you think, not in a financial planner's office. She provides an abundance of real world examples to support her principles, and more than enough content to provide anyone financial stability. I highly recommend The 9 Steps for a better understudying of how to strengthen one's finances and plan properly for the future.
