For generations, the American Dream worked: You could expect to own a home that would increase in value; to put your children through college; to own a car, maybe two; and you looked forward to a retirement that would come early enough for you to enjoy the fruits of years of labor. Today, however, every aspect of that dream is under threat: for many, they owe more on their home than it’s worth, or they simply cannot afford to buy a home at all; they don’t know how they will pay for college; and retirement seems like a hazy fantasy.
Suze Orman, the woman millions of Americans have turned to for financial advice, says it’s time for a serious reconsideration of the American Dream? what it still holds, what aspects are in need of revision, and how it must be refashioned to fit our lives so that we can once again have faith that our hard work will pay off and that a secure and hopeful future is within our reach.
In The Money Class, Suze delivers a master class on personal finance for this pivotal time in our nation. In this bracing and urgently needed new book, she issues a call to action, demands that we “stand in our truth,” and shows us how the landscape has changed and why a new approach is necessary. Suze points out both the pitfalls and opportunities of the current economic climate and sketches a path to security and control.
