SUZE ORMAN’S MONEY CLASS reveals Orman’s expert take on what actions people need to take in light of the new economy.

She provides audiences with powerful, timely and often surprising advice for moving forward on the most important financial fundamentals: saving and investing, building a career, planning for retirement and more. As Orman puts it, “Bad financial habits can hurt you in any economic environment, but in the one we’re in now, they can bankrupt you.”
