Product Description
Why is it that women, who are so competent in all other areas of their lives, cannot find the same competence when it comes to matters of money?
Suze Orman investigates the complicated, dysfunctional relationship women have with money in this groundbreaking new book. With her signature mix of insight, compassion, and soul-deep recognition, she equips women with the financial knowledge and emotional awareness to overcome the blocks that have kept them from making more out of the money they make. At the center of the book is The Save Yourself Plan?a streamlined, five-month program that delivers genuine long-term financial security. But what?s at stake is far bigger than money itself: It?s about every woman?s sense of who she is and what she deserves, and why it all begins with the decision to save yourself.
Amazon.com Review
Money maven Suze Orman's latest book, Women & Money addresses the complicated (and often dysfunctional) relationship women have with personal finance. Orman's direct, non-condescending style is perfect for this subject matter--she begins with the premise that "Women can invest, save, and handle debt as well and skillfully as any man" and then tackles the important question--"So why don't they?" Designed to educate and inspire, Women & Money also offers a "Save Yourself Plan," a five-month program that "delivers genuine long-term financial security." Want to know more? Watch a video message from Suze below, and take a gander at the first chapter of Women & Money--you'll be "controlling your destiny" in no time. --Daphne Durham

Read the First Chapter of Women & Money
 For Women Only
I never thought I'd write a book about money just for women. I never thought it was necessary. So then why am I doing just that in my eighth book? And why now? Let me explain. All my previous books were written with the belief that gender is not a factor on any level in mastering the nuts and bolts of smart financial management. Women can invest, save, and handle debt just as well and skillfully as any man. I still believe that--why would anyone think differently? So imagine my surprise when I learned that some of the people closest to me in my life were in the dark about their own finances. Clueless. Or, in some cases, willfully resisting doing what they knew needed to be done. I'm talking about smart, competent, accomplished women who present a face to the world that is pure confidence and capability. Do you mean to tell me that I, Suze Orman, who make my living solving the financial problems of total strangers, couldn't spot the trouble brewing so close to home? I don't think I'm blind; I just think that these women became very, very good at hiding their troubles from me.Why not? They had years of practice hiding them from themselves.

 Right on the nose October 1, 2008
If you're thinking, why do I need a book for women...isn't anything to do with finances universal? Then you NEED this book... Read it, you will thank me.
Women & Money September 22, 2008
This is a self help book that I am actually reading all of and making true effort to put some of Suze's suggestions to use. I was already doing some of what Suze suggested and needed some guidance on some additional financial plans and she has provided the help that I needed. I recommend this to women of all ages and even men.
 Helpful advice September 19, 2008
This was a great book to help women understand some of the psychological issues we face when dealing with money. I learned where the root of some of my money troubles lie and how to start to take control. It's a great companion to Suze's other books which deal with budgeting, debt, and investing. Thanks Suze for writing a fun and insightful book.
Best Advice About Money and Life Management September 7, 2008
I'm using this as a text in an Intro to American Business course that includes a section on Personal Finance. Go online and take the Orman assessment to uncover the 5 areas you need to concentrate on. There is a 5-month plan that will straighten out your finances, credit cards, FICO score, forms you should have completed (will, treatement wishes) and investments. Practical whether you're 18 or 80.
Orman said women don't understand finances and so they glaze over them. She's right. And we can't afford to be Bag Ladies so listen up both men and women. Our friend Dean read the book while he was visiting us this summer.

The book is informative as well as written with honest advice. I will always have it for a reference.
