Amazon.com: If you are tired of struggling to make ends meet but don't know a 401(k) from Special K, this book is for you. Aimed specifically at "Generation Broke"--those in their twenties and thirties who are working yet buried in credit card debt and student loans--this user-friendly guide offers a clear introduction to practical investing and money management techniques that can turn even a dismal financial situation around. Bestselling author Suze Orman has a knack for taking the fear out of money matters, and in The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous &: Broke, she shows readers how to set priorities and achieve goals, whether it is to buy a house or save for retirement or pay for a child's education. She also offers inspiration to readers to face their financial problems and get started on a solution. After all, there is good news: young people still have the time to correct problems so that they will never be broke again. Readers who find terms such as diversification and IRA rollover scary--or worse, unimportant--will learn much from this book.
In these pages, Orman clearly and succinctly explains what a FICO score is and why it's so important, offers the lowdown on stocks and mutual funds, provides career advice, and offers lots of tips on dealing with student loan debt, saving money even when times are tight, debt consolidation strategies, and the safest way for newlyweds to merge their finances. She also offers information on credit cards, including why canceling cards is not a good idea, when it makes sense to use them, and the best strategies for paying them off. It may not be the only money book you'll ever need, but it's an excellent place to start. --Shawn Carkonen

The Money Book for the Young Fabulous & Broke This is a great gift for high school graduates. It's my standard gift and I often get great feedback from the kids.
simple, direct. not to bad. not a lot of info i didn't already know. anyone whose in financial trouble i.e. prospective buyers likely already have the knowledge they would get from the book. want to skip the book? pay off your highest damaging loans asap. if you've done that...get a roth ira.
not bad though, and it's only what 15$? cheap...although it's my thinking like that that is likely the cause for me needing financial planning books...
All-Around Good Money Book I'm a college junior and only on the second chapter and am already impressed with this book. My mom's a Suze fan and I needed to learn more about my finances, so this book was a perfect fit. The only reason I gave it a 4/5 instead of 5/5 is because it seems to be geared perhaps a little more towards people who have already graduated and already having to deal with mortgages and debt etc instead of people like me who are simply trying to get a head start. However, that being said, this book really is amazing. It's a step-by-step financial process with an online supplement to boot. It also has a glossary with a lot of financial terms, just to make sure the lingo isn't over your head.
It's really a great investment, I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about money who's looking to safeguard their finances...oh, and who's young, fabulous, and broke.
i wish i had read this book ten years ago Suze Orman's book is about teaching young people how to value and respect money, a common theme throughout all of her work. She uses real-world examples to show why it's so important to a) get into a career that we love,and b) use this knowledge to move into a job that we can be happy with so we are not job-hopping. She also talks about the necessity of saving for retirement right now and not waiting until we are much older. At the end, I could definitely see where I didn't value money or myself. The best thing that I could you as to why you should read this book is that you will find yourself questioning your financial decisions and if you follow Suze's advice, you should do all right and hopefully be content someday with your money.
You will use this book for YEARS! This book is such a help! I bought this book a few years back when I was truly broke. Now, that my financial situation has changed (thanks to this book) I went back and read it again and got even more information about the next step to take in healing my financial self so I'll never be broke again. The book comes with a code that allows you access to the YF&B website, forums, an action planner that tells you exactly what step to take first and even MORE specific information from Suze. If you own the book. .. don't skip on the website. It's a great supplement. I see myself using this book another 10 years. It'll be the best money you ever spent!!!
