Book Reviews of The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom: Practical and Spiritual Steps So You Can Stop Worrying
Book Review: Great for beginners and pros
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is great for people who would like to get control of their finances and is an equally great refresher for those who already have their finances under control. I'm in the latter but it was still worth reading, though I did skip some of the credit card and budgeting stuff.
In general, Suze discusses end of life matters (wills, trusts, ect.), investing (retirement plans, mutual funds, etf's, etc.), saving your money (spending within you means, credit cards, etc.), and the psychology of why people ignore these issues (childhood experiences with money), and how you should handle your wealth responsibly (take control of it, plan accordingly for your death, and give to those in need). She generally introduces a topic, gives real life examples, discusses these, then gives the reader an exercise to do. She gets a little too psychological and spiritual at times for my taste, but she did hit a lot of underlying truths. For example, she says the sixth law of financial freedom is to trust your inner voice. I think this is true for finances, as well as all of lifes decisions in fact. If you ignore this voice inside of you, you are ignoring your true self and in time, this voice will win the yelling match and you will have to face it. In relation to finances, this generally leads to losing money.
Another lesson she discusses, which is probably news to many readers, is that you must be generous with money before you can truly be wealthy. She says this puts you in touch with the best part of yourself. I do think this is true for most people. It reminds of the philosophy in Lao Tze's Tao de Ching, which basically says to get something, you must first not want it. By donating some of your money, you are releasing your fears of losing it, and freeing yourself to earn more.
Great read, especially for less than $6.

Summary of The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom: Practical and Spiritual Steps So You Can Stop Worrying
Over 3 Million Copies SoldA Personal Finance Classic that Changed Forever How We Think, Feel, and Act about Money
Ten years ago, Suze Orman, America?s most celebrated finance expert, transformed the way we all view personal finance with her groundbreaking The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom. This New York Times bestselling blockbuster broke from the ranks of traditional money management books by looking at finances from an entirely new perspective, advising people to approach money from an emotional standpoint in order to achieve their financial dreams. By emphasizing the psychological and spiritual power money has in our lives, while still including information on all aspects of our financial daily activities, Orman has helped millions break through the barriers that hold them back. She is now our country?s leading personal finance expert, and here is the book that started it all.
Orman is back in a brand-new, fully updated edition to The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom, her personal finance classic that offers thoughtful, easy-to-follow steps toward a life of financial freedom. Here is the most up-to-the-minute information on a wide range of financial topics that plague us today: credit card debt, bankruptcy, paying for education, wills versus trusts, the best retirement account, life insurance, and more. Combining real-life recommendations with Suze?s own brand of inspiration and motivation, this is the only guide you?ll need to provide for yourself and your family.
As Orman shows, managing money is so much 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. Let America?s leading personal finance expert show you how.
When Suze Orman was 13 she watched her father dive into the flames of his burning take-out chicken shack in order to rescue his cash register. In that moment Orman learned that money was more important than life itself. And so it became her quest to be rich. But years later, when Orman became a wealthy broker with a huge investment firm, she was profoundly unhappy. What went wrong? She had not yet achieved financial freedom. In her nine-step program, Orman covers the ingredients to financial success--confronting our beliefs and fears, learning the nuts and bolts (and insiders secrets!) of savvy management, and finding the spiritual trust that leads to abundance.
