A shout out to author and money guru Suze Orman. You may love her, hate her, or you're tired of hearing her rantings about how to save money and respect your money, but if you desire financial security, you'd better listen up.
In her latest book, "The Money Class", Suze features examples such as how we treat our money and how important money REALLY is to us. Take out your wallet right now for a closer look at how organized or messy it is. Suze says you only need the most important cards in your wallet, like an American Express card and one additional credit card. Your gas card, insurance card, ID info and driver's license are all you need, in addition to the minimal amount of cash you need for that day or week. There is absolutely no reason to carry all of the cash you have in the world in your wallet at all times. This is just protection in case you're mugged or lose your bag in the subway!
In "Single 101: 101 Reasons to Celebrate Being Single", Reason #82, "You Can Build Your Own Wealth", I travel back to the 1700's, where Benjamin Franklin was hoping to capture the attention of America's early colonial society, urging them to save their money. Suze Orman could be labeled as the Ben Franklin of this era. She knows what she's talking about!
I give her so much credit for stepping up to the plate to help people. Countless others who have wealth and knowledge of how to gain financial security just sit back and laugh at those who don't have a clue about saving money. Just think of how your local back could offer more customer service with classes or workshops on managing your money. Maybe they'd gain more customers. The truth is, they love stupid people. They'd lose earnings if everyone really knew what they were doing.
Thanks Suze and keep on keeping on!
