The New York Times bestselling financial guide aimed squarely  at "Generation Debt"—and their parents—from the country's most trusted  and dynamic source on money matters. The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke is  financial expert Suze Orman's answer to a generation's cry for help.  They're called "Generation Debt" and "Generation Broke" by the media —  people in their twenties and thirties who graduate college with a  mountain of student loan debt and are stuck with one of the weakest job  markets in recent history. The goals of their parents' generation — buy a  house, support a family, send kids to college, retire in style — seem  absurdly, depressingly out of reach. They live off their credit cards,  may or may not have health insurance, and come up so far short at the  end of the month that the idea of saving money is a joke. This  generation has it tough, without a doubt, but they're also painfully  aware of the urgent need to take matters into their own hands. The Money Book was written to address the specific financial  reality that faces young people today and offers a set of real, not  impossible solutions to the problems at hand and the problems ahead.  Concisely, pragmatically, and without a whiff of condescension, Suze  Orman tells her young, fabulous & broke readers precisely what  actions to take and why. Throughout these pages, there are icons that  direct readers to a special YF&B domain on Suze's website that  offers more specialized information, forms, and interactive tools that  further customize the information in the book. Her advice at times bucks  conventional wisdom (did she just say use your credit card?) and may  even seem counter-intuitive (pay into a retirement fund even though your  credit card debt is killing you?), but it's her honesty, understanding,  and uncanny ability to anticipate the needs of her readers that has  made her the most trusted financial expert of her day.Over the course of ten chapters that can be consulted methodically,  step-by-step or on a strictly need-to-know basis, Suze takes the reader  past broke to a secure place where they'll never have to worry about  revisiting broke again. And she begins the journey with a bit of  overwhelmingly good news (yes, there really is good news): Young people  have the greatest asset of all on their side — time.
