 Timeless Advice - Yet Nothing New from OrmanMar 26, 2010
By TW
Suze Orman has always offered exceptionally sound financial advice based on personal accountability and moderation. The New Rules for New Times stays true to this message by providing an abundance of strategies for a large assortment of potential financial issues.
The format of the book is very straight forward, containing descriptions of financial situations followed by immediate action plans. This approach permits one to immediately focus on those areas that are most personally relevant. Suze also includes a chapter on introducing finance to children that any parent should be aware of. If this book is your only introduction to Suze Orman, you will be served well.
I have always considered Suze's advice indispensible and a representation of the best from the financial community; however, I question the need for this book on the basis that her message has been made clear in past books. I read this book earnestly looking for something new and discovered only a rehashing of the same message she has always given; leaving me wondering if her desire to sell another book trumped her ability to produce new content.
The book begins with the statement that "the financial hurricane has passed", leading with the notion that we now need new rules. Yet have Suze's rules not always been sound? Does Suze believe her rules regarding accountability, moderation, and respect for risk, rules that have been the cornerstone of her financial advice for years, suddenly now requires upgrading? The realty is her advice is as sound today as it was ten years ago, yet the implication is that we now need a new book with new rules.
Orman's look back on recent events and financial turmoil has supposedly given her a new outlook; yet what does this say of her foresight? If Suze can be certain that the worst of the financial turmoil is behind us now, why was she completely blindsided like nearly all of us when the market turned just two years ago? If she was unable to anticipate the dangers then, why would we have confidence in her assertion that there is smoother sailing ahead?
The reality is Suze's message doesn't need updating and she doesn't need to offer anything new, she simply needs to remind people of why her guidance is sound. Perhaps this approach might not sell as many books but it is a message that is better suited to serve readers than just reprinting the same general material with a different cover year after year.
I really believe Suze Orman and her financial guidance is a huge benefit to society, but this book is just not worthwhile. The reality is Suze Orman deserves glowing reviews for her work in financial community, but I would avoid this book and seek out one of Orman's core books such as the Suze Orman Financial Guidebook.

 Sound Advice for New TimesOct 25, 2010
By Olga Lita
Frankly, I think Suze Orman is one of the best voices in the financial community and I am a fan of her show, so buying this book was a no-brainer for me. SUZE ORMAN'S ACTION PLAN indeed contains a great amount of useful and updated information on personal finance, and I do not regret picking it up. However, for those who are looking for a book by Suze after watching her show, I'd recommend some of Suze's earlier works, THE COURAGE TO BE RICH, THE 9 STEPS TO FINANCIAL FREEDOM, or WOMEN & MONEY. While the advice in SUZE ORMAN'S ACTION PLAN is sound and relevant to current times, I did not feel it surpassed one of her earlier books on the quantity and quality of useful information. That said, I'm still a great fan of Suze!

Not for everyone...May 07, 2010
By Gillian Willis
"A Practical Romantic"
It seemed to be more of the same information that you can get from hearing her talk on tv. And, it is not for someone trying to repair their credit after suffering a change in circumstances due to the new economy. She had no advice for such a person. Instead, it is for someone with a decent job and in a fairly good financial position, who just needs a little help to make better choices.

A disappointed fanMay 09, 2010
By Amazon Guy 5
I'm a fan of Suze Orman's but was disappointed in this book. Although the title says "new rules for new times," there's nothing new here from her. If you watch her show or are familiar with any of her advice, this book won't have new insights. She even mentions many times in the book that her answer to the scenario listed isn't different from the smart advice she's always provided.
If you are new to thoughtful financial decisions, this book will probably be helpful - hence why I gave it 3 stars instead of 2. It gives straightforward basic responses to various scenarios.

Some valuable updated information and some old Orman basicsApr 27, 2010
By Susanna Hutcheson
"Copywriting for the Discriminating - - (...)"
I picked up a copy of this book at a local book store because I needed some quick information and I knew Orman had it in her new book. Is the book updated for the new rules? Yes indeed! I have her last book and you can trust me when I tell you this book is updated and has lots of new information that you really should have if you want to survive in today's world of changing financial rules.
One example is paying on credit cards. Simply put, Orman says if you have a high interest card and no emergency savings, you should now pay only the minimum on the card and put money into savings until you have eight months living expense in savings.
If, on the other hand, you have a low interest card, you can pay more on the card and still put money in savings. In other words, the rules depend on what you have and where you're at. But, they have changed. No longer is paying off the card the most important move in all cases.
But, Orman tells of many other changes you should be aware of.
Certainly much of the information is just Orman's good sense advice --- much the same as it's always been. But, indeed, this is a revised book and if you care about your finances, you should own it. Orman knows her stuff perhaps better than anyone else.
In this book you will find chapters and action plans about ---
- credit
- retirement
- savings
- spending
- real estate
- paying for college
- protecting your family and yourself
- kids and money
I suggest you pick up or order a copy of this new book by Orman. It just may save you from severe financial problems --- and one thing is certain --- you'll likely discover some information of which you were totally unaware. That's where Orman shines.
