Suze Orman's 2009 Plan Book

[Nottawayfer]

Oprah had her Best Life themed show last week. Suze Orman has a book out to help people plan financially for 2009. It is free on Oprah's website if you want it. It will be there for a week. I believe Suze was on Oprah's show Wednesdayr or Thursday.

Thanks, Notta, I thought that the book wasn't available still, I'm glad it's still up on the website for free.

She's pretty sound in her thinking regarding finances, although with so many companies folding, I'm more cautious about buying stocks right now even though they're low.

My understanding is if you have more than 10 years before you need your invested money, your money will buy more stocks right now than it ever did before. If you have the time to wait, you will be really happy you did because the price per share will increase significantly.

She also says if you need your money within 5 years, do not leave it in the stock market. This is a mistake many have made.

That's definitely good advice, although notions of day trading just because stocks are low right now is really risky, investing in a 401k thru work with matching funds can have it's pitfalls too, and there is no guarantee that any company is going to be around in 2 years....it's going to be a bumpy ride for at least that long.

Thanks Notta. It's 224 pages, so I probably won't download, but thanks for thinking of us :-)
