Suze Orman Supports Financial Literacy for Women

March 31st, 2007

The Partnership for 21st Century Skills has identified financial literacy as a 21st Century Content area. We as adults need to be financially savvy and we need to impart that money sense to our students and children.

Tonight one of my girlfriends, Wendy Sterndale, told me about an awesome book offer that Suze Orman, financial guru, has to offer women that I hope you’ll accept or share with the women you care about. She has written a book called Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny.

Although geared towards women, I’m sure anyone can benefit from the financial wisdom. It’s a five month program to help you create a healthy relationship to money, make more out of the money you have for yourself and your loved ones, and gain more financial freedom. If you open a SaveYourself account with TD Ameritrade, they’ll add $100 to your account. So you can start easily investing and recoup your investment in her book too!

I’m on a major campaign to learn more about finances so that I can make fabulous choices around money and teach these tools and strategies to my students. I hope you join me in making financial literacy part of your life and your teaching.

I like Suze’s common sense approach to personal finance. I’ve read several of her books. Many of my family and friends are now following her financial advice. Her financial advice/info is top notch…

People need a lot more than motivation, they need real tax strategies.

We are facing the perfect storm in that whoever the next president is, tax rates will undoubtedly go up. Tax code enacted in 2001 and 2003 expires in 2010 and will capture all kinds of your income dead or alive, the largest increase since WWII. The Marginal tax rate will increase across the board from 13% by highest tax brackets to 50% by the lowest…go figure. Top tax rate on dividends will nearly triple to 39.6% from 15% most likely lowering stock performance. Capital gains will rise from 15% to 20% + state. Alternative minimum tax will bleed the middleclass yet more and capture 25 million new victims…akin to a plague. When you think about traditional tax deferred vehicles it does not make sense to defer taxes to what inevitably will be a higher tax bracket in the future at ordinary income. The answer may lie in life insurance structured for income and a self-directed solo-401(k)s since there are not income limits to ROTH on the solo-401(k). This is the dynamic duo of tax-free retirement income.

In my book “The 3 Secret Pillars of Wealth” we explore solutions to the crisis that is coming in 2016 when millions of Americans turn 70 and have to take mandatory retirement distributions (MRDs) leaving the stock market in a tizzy. The costs of funds coupled with the rising cost of fuel, food and other living expenses is shaping up for the perfect disaster unless we get educated and take action.

I agree with James. more than motivtion is needed and why is she only siding do much with women versus helping all who need it.
