The Money Class: Learn to Create Your New American Dream by Suze Orman

3.0

This book is very well-intentioned, and Orman attempted the insurmountable task of covering all ages and stages of income including retirement. It might have been too ambitious, however; when she's finished covering your particular financial situation, it seems as though she's speaking over you to someone else and has almost completely stopped engaging with your age group/income level/job situation/etc. For about 80% of the book you feel like you're eavesdropping on a conversation totally meant for someone else. It's full of valuable information and great forward-thinking perspective if you do stick it out. Orman claims that the earlier you read this book the better, and while that may be true it is almost certainly more ideal for those with families in their 30s or perhaps those closer to retirement age.
