Money is a difficult subject for many people. From investing in the wrong thing to having bad money habits, these are things that can be reversed. So says Suze Orman, the financial guru who went through her own battles with finances back in the day.
Now, my version of this book is published as “The Laws of Money,” but it was initially printed as “The Laws of Money, the Lessons of Life.” The book is somewhat dated in that it was printed in the early part of the new millennium, but as the book says, the advice is timeless.
I did not expect a Jesus fest in reading this book, but that is a bit of what I got. It read like a twelve step program. The Laws take their inspiration from the Ten Commandments. Faith permeates the pages of this show more book. Well, at least in the beginning. The fourth law has really good investment advice and talks about IRAs and other investment options. Although I can understand that faith is a large part of Orman’s life, it becomes a bit saccharine. The other half of the book is a workbook where you can write down your personal exercises with money and thinking back and so on. Since I don’t write in my books, that part will go unused.
The book was fine other than those parts about the commandments. It just felt like down-home folksy wisdom. I can give this a 3 out of 5. show less

From book: *Why actions based on uncontrolled fear will never make your rich. * Why transofrming the unknown into the known a major key to wealth. *How always telling the truth increases the flow of money into your life. * Why- depending on your age, your level of fear, or your financial situation - there are times when you must act and times when you must do nothing.
