The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom

Practical and Spiritual Steps So You Can Stop Worrying

De: Suze Orman

Narrado por: Suze Orman

From the nuts and bolts of managing money to the deep psychological and even spiritual meaning it has in our lives, this personal-finance audiobook shows everyone, even complete novices, how to take control of their money.

Suze Orman is a certified financial planner, a retirement specialist, and a registered investment advisor.

Orman begins with the insight that managing money is far more than a matter of picking the right investments or getting out of credit card debt. To get control of our finances, we must first get control of the feelings about money that arise from our earliest experiences with it.

Next comes Orman's clear, easy-to-follow advice about the practical importance of understanding and using investments, retirement plans, insurance, and credit.

Finally, Orman reveals why true financial freedom lies not in amassing wealth, but in realizing that we are worth far more than our money.

Good but out of date

I enjoyed hearing about the different types of life insurance, and wills vs. trusts. However, I didn’t know this book was from ~1997. The limits on contributions to IRA’s and 401k’s have increased significantly since the writing of this book and a Roth version of a 401k wasn’t talked about in the book since it wasn’t even an option at the time this book was written -only Roth IRA’s (which was covered). Sound principles but outdated.

great advice

great advice easy to listen to, I wish there was more about budgeting however this book touches on every financial aspect

Useful info

This is an easy listen, and offers lots of insight into why we have certain spending patterns, often stemming from early childhood experiences with money.

Very useful financial tips.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, she is very knowledge and is able to keep you interested to the end. I was surprised that the audiobook ended so soon I wanted to hear more. The audiobook is three hours but does not seem that long at all.

What did you like best about this story?

Financial tips for the average person. She gave real life scenarios which were very helpfuI. I also liked the fact that she included a spiritual twist to it. What is also interesting is that her family and her have experienced a lot of the same financial stress in their lives as we have. She knows how we feel.

What about Suze Orman’s performance did you like?

She is down to earth.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When she asks us to go back to our childhood and remember our first financial event.

enjoyed and will re-listen

the information about the irrevocable trust fund was wonderful. I thought that I can make index for an investment system with this irrevocable trust fund thanks for all the great info.

Very good book

Very good book I highly recommend it for people who want more control over their money and lives. Pick this one up

Needs updated

This is a good book and dozens of helpful solutions but the book is outdated and uses 1990's references for the basis of stories. The fundamentals are still true, strong and useful but Author needs to update.

Awesome Read

Loved this book great wisdom! Even though it is dated the principled within are still applicable.

Fabulous !!

Liked every chapter 👍
Looking forward to buying paper copies and handing them out to my adult children
I appreciate the clarity with which Ms Suze Orman spoke and her gentle yet firm manner delivering useful & wise information that combines the practical with the spiritual ! Yahoo 🤗💕

Tangible

This book really broke down the ways on how to go about changing your thoughts and views towards money. It actually made you feel like you can actually change your financial future with research, practice, self confidence and stepping out on faith in yourself, only if you are willing to do the work to change.

Thank You
