Publisher Description

Suze Orman has transformed the concept of personal finance for millions by teaching us how to gain control of our money -- so that money does not control us. She goes beyond the nuts and bolts of managing money to explore the psychological, even spiritual power money has in our lives. The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom is the first personal finance book that gives you not only the knowledge of how to handle money, but also the will to break through all the barriers that hold you back. Combining real-life recommendations with the motivation to overcome financial anxieties, Suze Orman offers the keys to providing for yourself and your family, including: * seeing how your past holds the key to your financial future * facing your fears and creating new truths * trusting yourself more than you trust others * being open to receiving all that you are meant to have * understanding the lessons of the money cycle The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom is useful advice and inspiration from the leading voice in personal finance. As Orman shows, managing money is far more than a matter of balancing your checkbook or picking the right investments. It's about redefining financial freedom -- and realizing that you are worth far more than your money.

"This book is fabulous for someone with little knowledge of how to plan for their financial future and acknowledge their financial present. Despite moments of 'new-age' spiritual mantras and a few moments of over zealous conservatism, I found this book incredibly helpful in taking control of my financial life in the way that was right for me. It is best with the workbook."

As always Suze terrifies me into thikning I have to work until I am 100, and need to get a second and third job, but there were some useful tips in here.
