Book Reviews of Suze Orman's 2009 Action Plan: Keeping Your Money Safe & Sound
Book Review: Specific, relevant tips delivered in Suze's trademark no-nonsense style
Summary: 5 Stars
Let's face it: If common-sense Suze Orman was in charge, the country would likely be in a lot better shape. She serves up plenty of tough love in her latest book, which launches with an overview of how we got into our current economic mess, which she says is the fall-out of "a wild, drunken party of dishonesty and greed on a national scale." Yep.
This book comprises scores of helpful Q&As, with advice that is specific to this moment in time. Can paying just the minimum due on your credit card hurt your credit score? (Yes, now it can.) Are your FDIC-insured accounts still safe? (Yes, not to worry.)
This timely book covers new IRS rules and other changes. Orman even includes red flags to put readers on the alert about specific rules that are likely to be revised in 2009 and beyond, directing us to her Web site (or other resources) so we can stay abreast of the likely changes.

How to Prepare for the Unexpected
If in late 2007 you were told that over the next twelve months housing would crater to 20% below it's all-time peak, unemployment would rise from below 5% to nearly 8%, stocks would fall nearly 50%, and a gallon of gas would spike to more than $4 (and then drop below $2) you would probably have shrugged it off as just a whole lot of doomsday-scenario crankiness. But that's exactly what we all had to live through and continue to grapple with in 2009.
The lesson is that the unexpected can happen. In fact, sometimes a whole lot of unexpected happens all at once (see: 2008). No one can control external events, but you do have absolute control over the most powerful tool: your will to make the smart and right choices that will insure your financial security, no matter what happens. As I have said for years: Hope for the best, plan for the worst. If you plan for life's "what if's" there's no need to panic when the news turns bad. An emergency cash fund is your security when a recession causes rising unemployment. A long-term investment strategy that employs a mix of stocks and bonds makes it easier to get through scary bear markets; living within your means, rather than running up credit card and HELOC debt leaves you better able to weather financial storms.
My 2009 Action Plan is designed to make sure you are ready for the unexpected-this year and every year forward. I most certainly hope things get better for us all, but in the meantime I want to make sure you have a plan in place that will protect you no matter what "what ifs" lay ahead.
