A companion to the bestseller The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom, Suze Orman's Financial Guidebook distills the most important points in 9 Steps, providing work sheets and self-assessment tests for each step that allow readers to take full inventory of their spending habits and attitudes toward money. Through probing questions and quizzes, Orman helps readers explore formative childhood experiences with money and understand how these influence their current financial anxieties. She also gives a crash course in wills, retirement plans and mutual funds, as well as guidance for getting out of debt. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. From: Reed Elsevier Inc.
