Title: PRETTY GOOD, BUT READ THIS
Review: Does Orman know her stuff? Definitely. Is this book concise, well written and to the point, a no nonsense primer on achieving financial stability? Yes it is. Does Orman pander to the lowest common denominator, i.e. those with virtually no financial acumen? In my opinion, yes she does.I recently read an interview with Orman in the Wall street Journal where she claimed that of her $25 million in net worth she only has a million in the stock market. That's 4%. Most financial experts would assert that's way too little. But Orman's not an investor, she's a common sense lady with a brass tacks approach to money, and it serves her well.And I just read a book I like even better than Suze. Dave Barry's "Money Secrets" contains a dead on skewering of Orman. If you're familiar with Orman's approach and like Barry, you have to check this out.Dave Barry's Money Secrets: Like: Why Is There a Giant Eyeball on the Dollar?
