Upcoming Posts - from Suze Orman book

One of my staff members found a Suze Orman book at an estate sale and purchased it.  Because it's a very timely subject right now, we're going to share some of it here in the next few weeks.  It's called "The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom," and we would welcome and appreciate any comments you may have about what she presents in her book.

Suze Orman in 2008 was (allegedly) pro the newly-elected president, stating on her PBS-TV show that he would fix the economy.  Later, in 2010, here is a  "suze-orman-quote" posted on a blog found on Google:  http://www.economicnoise.com/2010/11/29/suze-orman-speaks-out/
When asked about her financial fears, Orman said: “My only fear in life, when it comes to money, is what’s happening in the United States of America. The American dream is dead for the majority of America.”  The dream she is referring to is not even a Cinderella story; it’s much more practical. Orman believes the hope of someday owning a home, of working one job for life and retiring at 65 has been crushed by the financial crisis. “The middle class has disappeared,” she continued. “We have a highway to poverty and no roads coming out. I fear for [those] who have been kicked out of their homes, could be living on the streets and don’t know how to get another job. Many of the millions of jobs lost I don’t think are coming back. I am really afraid for the majority of Americans today.”
What's your thoughts on all this?
