The New York Times bestselling financial guide aimed squarely at "Generation Debt"—and their 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 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 faces young people today and 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, there are icons that 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 counter-intuitive (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 has made her the most trusted financial expert of her 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 the reader 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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"An especially useful book for people who are young, in debt, and inexperienced. Fabulous!" —The Miami Herald

"Ah, how we wish we'd read something like this when we were young, fabulous, and stupid. Financial advice for the loan-saddled, credit-card-maxed-out twenty-five to thirty-five-year-old set." —The Seattle Times

"Orman does a good job of addressing in her friendly, conversational style the financial topics relevant to a younger audience." —The Kansas City Star

"Orman has made her reputation being a financial know-it-all, and she is out in full force with her latest. As always, she doesn't mince words... Orman's writing is direct, her tone friendly. Orman believes in empowering her young readers by talking to them straight... Each page draws you in with tips, questions, strategies, and lots of information. It is a lively book." —Pittsburgh Tribune Review

"Downright useful... Orman takes on the financial woes of the under-thirty-five crowd in this how-to book that tackles the mystery behind credit ratings, when to finance your dream business with credit-card debt, and how to talk to your boyfriend about his check-bouncing habit." —Publishers Weekly

"The first to target teens and twentysomethings, and she adapts her message appropriately, offering 'The Lowdown' on topics from credit scores to career moves to consolidating school debt." —Newsweek

"Written in a noncondescending manner, and Orman modifies some of the suggestions she has made for her older readers." —New York Post

"Unlike other finance books, this one is accessible and addresses real problems. In her usual passionate tone, Orman counsels how to consolidate student loans, how to squeeze a bit more money out of your paycheck if you're making just enough to get by, how to deal practically with credit-card debt, how to shop for a new or used car, what type of auto insurance to purchase, and how to focus on getting the right job." —The Hartford Courant

INTRODUCTION

Listen, I know dealing with the responsibility of money, especially a lack of money, may not necessarily be high on your list of priorities. But something motivated you and brought you to this page, so in some way you are telling yourself it’s time to start dealing with your financial life. It’s time to make some changes.

Most likely, you are young; I hope you feel you are fabulous; and chances are, you are also broke. I’ve talked to thousands of young people like you over the years, and, for what it’s worth, you’ve got plenty of company.

But you also have a great way out of your current situation. You have time. Because you are young, you have the time to right any missteps, and the time to build a solid financial life. I also know that you have the bandwidth to take the advice in this book and put it into action. You may be intent on feeling beaten up these days, but I’m not going to play along. I admire you for your grit in coping with a lousy job market, skyrocketing real estate values, and hefty student loans. But what I also hear when I talk to you is that you have what it takes to manage the hand you’ve been dealt.

Now, having said all that, I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re wondering if this book can really deliver the goods or if it’s going to be yet another personal finance book by someone who has no clue about the issues you’re dealing with. I guarantee you that this is definitely not your parents’ money book. I get your situation.

The advice in this book is customized to fit your life today. How do I know what you’re going through? Because you told me. You were quite blunt about what you want from me, as well as what you don’t want.

You want advice that deals with your reality—a set of solutions for the problems you have. You want to be told what to tackle first, and you want clear advice on how to get the job done. And that’s what you are going to get here, delivered as concisely as possible. I only dive into details that are absolutely crucial to your success. And you don’t need an iota of prior knowledge. I know you’ve been too busy or uninspired to figure out how a Roth IRA works, what a FICO score is, and why you should even care. No worries. I have written every section of this book so you can quickly and easily comprehend exactly what actions you need to take and why.

What you don’t want is yet another personal finance book spewing the same old advice that doesn’t work for you. I completely agree. You won’t catch me telling you to cut back on the lattes and “simply” save $10 a day. As if saving $3,650 a year when you are broke could ever be simple. Nor will I tell you that credit cards are the devil in plastic (on the contrary, I think they can be good for you) or that you must have eight months of living expenses saved up as your emergency reserve fund before you are allowed past go. Un-uh. I know that’s not realistic or reasonable for the majority of you at this point in your lives.

Besides, if you didn’t have credit card debt and you already had an eight-month emergency cash fund, why would you have picked up this book? You sure wouldn’t fit my definition of broke.

BROKE IS relying on a cash advance on your credit card to pay the rent or mortgage, and praying that you have enough left on your credit line to do so.

BROKE IS having a ton of student loans that make you nauseated when you think about how long it is going to take you to pay them off.

BROKE IS not opening your credit card bills because you’re terrified to see what you owe and have no way of paying. So instead, you get hit with the late fee and finance charges.

BROKE IS wanting to buy a home but having no clue where you can come up with the down payment. So you are stuck renting a small place.

BROKE IS counting every coin in your change jar as well as scrounging under the sofa cushions in a desperate attempt to find the dough to cover your bounced check and the $25 fee your bank is going to slap on you.

BROKE IS wanting to save for your kids’ college educations but not knowing how to swing it because you are already strapped trying to make the mortgage and car payment, and you haven’t even started saving for your retirement.

BROKE IS not having one penny saved, even though you have a good job. If your car breaks down, so will you. You don’t have the money for repairs, but you need the wheels to get to work.

This is by no means an exhaustive list. I’m sure if we all met up, we could have a great time seeing who has the best “Broke is” story. But even though your specific stories may differ, you all want the same thing. You want to fix your situation so you are no longer broke.

That is exactly what this book is about. Our starting point is that you are broke, by your or any definition. Our ending point is that you are not. And we aren’t just going to get you past broke, we are going to make sure you never revisit broke. This is such an important point; I see far too many people go from being broke to finally having some money, only to slip back to broke again because they didn’t know what to do with their money. I don’t want that to happen to you.

Here’s the bottom line: You picked up this book because you are broke. Keep reading and you will discover what you need to know—and do—so you will not be broke forever.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Suze Orman has been coined America’s favorite financial advisor by The New York Times, and “a force in the world of personal finance” and a “one-woman financial advice power house” by USA today.

A #1 New York Times bestselling author, two-time Emmy Award winner, host of the popular Women & Money podcast, magazine and online columnist, writer/producer, and one of the top motivational speakers in the world today, Suze Orman is undeniably America’s most recognized expert on personal finance.

The single most successful fundraiser in the history of PBS, Orman has received an unprecedented eight Gracie Awards, which recognize the nation's best radio, television, and cable programming by, for, and about women. Twice named to the TIME 100 and ranked among the World's 100 Most Powerful Women by Forbes, Orman was the host of The Suze Orman Show on CNBC for 13 years (now available to stream for free on Amazon Freevee) and a contributing editor to O: The Oprah Magazine for 16. Some may say, however, that her true claim to fame is having been spoofed on Saturday Night Live four times.

Orman's incredible journey to becoming America's most recognized expert on personal finance began as a young broker at Merrill Lynch, helping clients of all backgrounds create a financially secure retirement plan. Orman was an account executive at Merrill Lynch from 1980 to 1983, served as Vice President-Investments for Prudential-Bache Securities from 1983 to 1987, then directed the Suze Orman Financial Group from 1987 to 1997.

Currently, Orman hosts the popular Women & Money podcast, serves as the official personal-finance educator for the United States Army and Army Reserve, and is a special advocate for the National Domestic Violence Hotline, bringing her message of awareness and empowerment to women who have suffered financial abuse. On her days off, you will find Suze and her wife, KT, spending time out on the water in the Bahamas, following their newfound passion for wahoo fishing.

STOP! Read.. This right here is YOUR divine intervention..
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2013
Verified Purchase
I almost didn't read this book, but I kept hearing Suze Orman's name, and a few folks I know have made references to her, so I said "Okay, this lady is successful for a reason, so I must have something to benefit by picking up this book". So I stopped everything I was working on stuck my nose into this book. Let me tell you, as I was reading, based on my own experiences with the topic's that Suze talks about, I was ranting and raving to EVERYONE I care about to get this book and read it before I even had a chance to finish reading it all, and now that I have, there isn't enough words I can say about how important it is to understand these things, but I am going to try.

I think it's fair to say that getting money isn't the real battle that most of us encounter, correctly managing what we have and making it grow is the true battle. I have a real passion for financial literacy. EVERYONE should read this book no matter your financial literacy level. Suze breaks down various topics ranging from fico scores, credit debt, retirement accounts, mortgages, investments, and much more, in a every Simple, Easy, and Direct way. I can't think of a single stone she leaves untouched that's financially critical to know from the first day you turned 18.

Financial literacy is IMPORTANT. The financial decisions you make today are either going to help you or haunt you later in life. You owe it to yourself to make sound, informed decisions, and the topics that Suze covers are all things that we all encounter or hear about at some point in the early parts of our adult lives. If you haven't taken the financial plunge, wonderful, Suze's will help you navigate to achieve financial prosperity. If you've already sunk your ship, no worries, Suze lays out precises ways to rebuild and move forward.

What are you waiting for ?!? This book is one of the best investments you will ever make, PERIOD! It only costs a few bucks and you owe it to yourself to be financially successful and knowledgeable, so go get this book and read it NOW !! Don't thank me, I'm just paying it forward and you've been blessed with divine intervention. Best Wishes..

Shows Its Age
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2012
Verified Purchase
Despite this book 'only' being written some five years ago, this book shows its age rather badly. Since 2007, much of the financial world has been flipped upsidedown; interest rates have plunged, credit has been frozen, wages have stagnated and/or fallen for many, college continues its exponential climb in price with decreasing returns after graduation.

I bought this book as a YF&B-er myself, but found much of the hard-hitting reality of life in a post-recessionary economy out of line with Suze's advice; advice like placing ordinary living expenses on credit while you're young (you can pay it off when you get a good job out of college), finance your car (you can afford the payments once you get a better job), and other debt-loading activities...all out of line with the new reality many young people like myself (22) face, even with my substantially above-average income coming from a "designer" degree (USC).

Still, I have to rate the book 4/5 stars, as you will still find a good 75% of the advice still relevant. Just slash down her high interest rates on gains such as IRAs, 401(k)s, and investing. Definitely DO NOT take her advice for loading up credit cards while you're young...with the premise that you'll have the income to pay it off later. I see so many of my fellow college graduates doing this, and now have a hard slap of reality as they settle into their $30-40,000 jobs, with twice as much as that in college debt. Focus on living as frugally as you can (don't confuse frugality with being a cheap-ass), live with your parents, minimize student loans, and ALWAYS have an emergency fund.

For a more 'up-to-date' book with the same basic advice, try Zac Bissonette's book, How to Be Richer, Smarter, and Better-Looking Than Your Parents. A self-described fan and follower of Suze, Zac's book may be a little more in line with today's realities, while keeping in line with much of Suze's amazing and time-tested advice.

Should Be Required Reading in High School! (5 Stars)
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2015
Verified Purchase
Great book for the financially non-initiated!

I grew up pretty clueless about finance and when I hit 18, I almost wrecked my credit. I don't have repossessions or foreclosures on my credit, but seeing the actual score was a wake up call and buying this book is one of the best things I ever did for myself.

I wasn't terribly familiar with Suze Orman and I dreaded reading a boring book full of dry prose but this book is a breath of fresh air! Orman's writing is upbeat and conversational in tone and you feel that she really knows her stuff and doesn't judge your for explaining things that may be common knowledge to others. The book is also VERY clearly organized and reads great from front to back or as a reference text that breaks down topics and questions into more bite sized portions when skimming through or for looking for a specific answer.

I wasn't sure how mortgages worked or what the difference was between a 401(k) and a Roth IRA, but now I know. I know how credit agencies calculate your credit score and I've learned that while shiny new cars are great, they are a depreciating asset and with this knowledge, I feel more confident about my purchasing judgement/self control and optimistic about my financial future and the new path I'm on.

This book is great for high school students who are embarking on their path as adults, for people trying to get a handle on their current financial situation or for people who have a general interest in economics and how our decisions, large and small, affect us in one way or another down the road.

A fantastic book that was a joy to read! I can't recommend it enough!

Great expert advice and things we should all know in an easy to read outline.
Reviewed in Canada on March 25, 2019
Verified Purchase

Easy to read and understand and really helpful for beginners learning to dip their toes in the workforce, bills and saving money. Suze teaches you the basics and explains it in simplistic terms with real-life examples. Gives good advice and lays down the principles you should learn and know at the very least. Although this book may be outdated by now, not sure if there is a newer edition. This is US-based so the terminology and regulations may not hold for you depending on where you reside. Although, it's still a great foundation as the general outline, advice and examples are on the basis of every day finance. I'm Canadian and found this book still relatable to how we process things here. Learned a lot and very happy I finally picked it up and read it after having it sit through my 20s on the bookshelf. Wish I opened it sooner!
