What does it take to create your New American Dream?
Suze Orman, the woman millions of Americans have turned to for financial advice, says it’s time for a serious reconsideration of the American Dream—what promise it still holds, what aspects are in need of revision, and how it must be refashioned to fit our lives so that we can once again have faith that our hard work will pay off and that a secure and hopeful future is within our reach.
In nine electrifying chapters, Orman delivers a master class on personal finance for this pivotal moment in time. She addresses every aspect of the American Dream—home, family, career, retirement. She teaches us that in order to create lasting security we must learn to stand in our truth. We must recognize, embrace, and be honest about what is real for us today and allow that understanding to inform the choices we make. The New American Dream is not the things we accumulate, says Orman, but the confidence that comes from knowing that which we’ve worked so hard for cannot be taken away from us. In THE MONEY CLASS, Orman teaches us how to take control over our present—right here, right now—in order to build the future of our dreams.
Whether navigating the complicated mix of money and family, offering the most comprehensive retirement resource available today, or delivering a bracing dose of reality when it comes to recalibrating our expectations and our goals, Orman educates us with her signature no-nonsense approach and laser-like clarity. She empowers us to live a life of integrity and honesty that will create an enduring legacy for future generations—a New American Dream that lies in truth, security, financial freedom, and peace of mind.

"It was a great book, clear and methodical, without being preachy, she asks you to answer some tough questions about how you view money. I think more than anything, that look into YOUR situation can help you take the next step towards feeling good about your financial situation."

" My dad already taught me all this stuff. But it's nice to refresh and make goals for the future. The basic premise of the book is to be truthful about what you can afford. She also says to live below your means, not just in your means. Smart lady. "
— Becky, 1/30/2014 -
" Don't laugh at me, friends. I'm a self-help junkie. And truly, this lady has taught me so much. "
— KJ, 1/27/2014 -
" Good premise, uncovers the mental thought process behind your financial situation and how you choose to spend your money but very little direction as to what to actually do with your money. But then again, maybe it wasn't meant to be that type of book. "
— Anthony, 12/19/2013 -
" This is a great book for someone who needs a book on financial planning in today's economic climate. "
— Karen, 12/10/2013 -
" So far so good. Although it was written for Americans, I find as a Canadian most of the info is still informative and helpful to anyone American or not! Looking forward to reading more. "

" I liked it. Good info, simple explanations, repititious in places but that's okay with me. "
— Susan, 10/20/2013 -
" I like Suze, I really do, but I found this book so involved that I ended up checking out a little. Overall, good tips- but I think that I might need something a little more basic to start out with. "
— Dawn, 9/23/2013 -
" Decent content, but much of this I've already seen discussed in other books or personal finance websites/blogs. I don't think it adds much to Orman's previous books. "
— Joy, 9/7/2013 -
" A decent, practical book on your finances, again preaching living under your means and breaking the debt cycle. Reasonable approaches and philosophies for all ages, but especially relevant for younger families. "
— Andy, 7/2/2013 -
" Good book for beginners. She addresses everything to get on a good financial plan and comes at it from different ages for planning for retirement. Think if one was brand new to getting a financial life the book would take awhile to get through. "
— Debbie, 6/29/2013 -
" Learned some helpful things, like bankrate.com calculators. Well worth the effort. "
— Donna, 5/15/2013 -
" Very helpful for those who struggle with investing concepts. At 37, I found the final chapter for retirees as interesting and enriching as the rest of the book. "
— Scott, 1/4/2013 -
" Basically everything you hear on the show but in a lot more detail. I skipped over a lot of it, but it had some really good pointers. "
— Dana, 10/29/2012 -
" Tries to cover too many topics. Nobody is at once trying to explaing finances to their young children while at the same time contemplating the best strategy for 401K distributions and long-term care. That said, I lover her theme of "standing in your truth." "
— Martin, 10/27/2012 -
" Blah, blah, blah! Same old message, reiterated in a different way. "
— Sarah, 9/26/2012 -
" Some interesting parts..some didn't apply to me. I got from it what I wanted. "
