Book Reviews of The Laws of Money, The Lessons of Life: Keep What You Have and Create What You Deserve
Book Review: MAINSTREAM COMMON SENSE W/O CONTROVERSY
Summary: 3 Stars
There is nothing critical that I can say about Ms Orman's advice or her opinions concerning personal finance. I concur with most everything that other readers who gave this book 4 or 5 stars have already said.
So why would I bother writing a review? And why not give it 4 or 5 stars like everyone else?
ANSWER: because Orman focuses almost entirely upon the weaknesses and probable shortcomings of the credit CONSUMER, and says nothing whatsoever about the rotten, secretive, profiteering banking and credit card industry. Perhaps they sponsor her television show...... ?
Instead of being condescending towards the average sucker who falls into the credit trap after being shamelessly LURED into it by banks and credit card issuers, I wish the author had delved into the TRUTH about credit -- the inflation, lending, fiat currency and the creation of the Federal Reserve... and I wish she had the guts to offer some practical advice about getting out of debt without getting reamed by the banks in court. That cost her 2 stars IMO... so I give her 3.
I recommend the following book about two people who just plain stiffed the goddam credit card companies and did it legally, too... without getting scammed by some cannibalistic Debt Elimination scheme or railroaded into bankruptcy court:
DEFAULT !!! Escaping the Debt Trap and Avoiding Bankruptcy
I also recommend the following factual history of the current Federal Reserve banking system, just in case anybody thinks it is somehow immoral to just default on their credit cards, read this:
Web of Debt: The Shocking Truth About Our Money System and How We Can Break Free
And I love this wonderfully illustrated childrens book that explains how we got into the financial trouble we are in today:
The Bunnibank - A 24 Carrot Parable
SUMMARY: Go ahead and bone-up on Suze Orman's rather self-righteous (but accurate) advice about not getting into debt in the first place, and working your way out of debt by paying the piper, so to speak.....
BUT if you are already deep in debt doo-doo, read Guedel's "Default !!! Escaping the Debt Trap and Avoiding Bankruptcy" -- a book about normal people who got themselves out of debt by fighting back instead of getting taken to the cleaners by the courts and the collection attorneys.
