A financial guide aimed squarely at "Generation Debt'-and
their anxious parents-from the country's most trusted and
dynamic source on money matters
The Money Book
for the Young, Fabulous & Broke is financial expert
Suze Orman's answer to a generation's cry for help. They're
called "Generation Debt" and "Generation Broke" by the
media-people in their twenties and thirties who graduate
from college with a mountain of student loan debt and are
stuck with one of the weakest job markets in recent history.
The goals of their parents' generation-buy a house, support
a family, send kids to college, retire in style-seem
absurdly, depressingly out of reach. They live off their
credit cards, may or may not have health insurance, and come
up so far short at the end of the month that the idea of
saving money is a joke. This generation has it tough,
without a doubt, but they're also painfully aware of the
urgent need to take matters into their own hands.
The Money Book was written to address the specific
financial reality that young people face today, and it
offers a set of real, not impossible, solutions to the
problems at hand and the problems ahead. Concisely,
pragmatically, and without a whiff of condescension,
Suze Orman tells her young, fabulous & broke
readers precisely what actions to take and why. Throughout
these pages, icons direct readers to a special YF&B
domain on Suze's website that offers more specialized
information, forms, and interactive tools that further
customize the information in the book. Her advice at times
bucks conventional wisdom (Did she just say use your
credit card?) and may even seem counterintuitive (Pay
into a retirement fund even though your credit card debt is
killing you?), but it's her honesty, understanding, and
uncanny ability to anticipate the needs of her readers that
have made her the most trusted financial expert of the day.
Over the course of ten chapters that can be
consulted methodically, step by step, or on a strictly
need-to-know basis, Suze takes readers past broke to a
secure place where they'll never have to worry about
revisiting broke again. And she begins the journey with a
bit of overwhelmingly good news (yes, there really is good
news): Young people have the greatest asset of all on their
side-time.
