Okay, so we’re ready, or almost ready, to buy a house.
I’ve been hearing all about those amortized home loans. And I want to know how that effects my position. The media hype is that millions of people are on the verge of foreclosure. In Texas, they say there will be fewer than the rest of […]
Suze Orman used to be Susie but she wanted be more powerfully herself. Tracee Sioux used to be Tracee Sue Jones and then Tracee Sue Simmons but didn’t want to change names with marital status. Check out So Sioux Me if you’re curious how I resolved my child-bride/divorce naming delemma.

The other day in a matter of minutes myself and my two kids were overcome with congestion. We were fine, and then all three of us weren’t. There was something in the air that we just didn’t respond well to.
In the same way I’ve noticed there is something in the air breeding discontent. By discontent, I […]

In Women & Money, Suze Orman says women walk around as if they are “on sale.” Not for sale, because everyone gets paid to do something or has a monetary value applied to what they do, but on sale.
As in Clearance: 50% off!
This is wrong, Orman says, because if we don’t value what we do enough to […]
Suze Orman does seem to have her pulse on the minds of women. In Women & Money, she asks us to let go of some serious roadblocks to progress.

In Chapter 1 of Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny, Suze Orman brings up a very relevant point about the evolution of women’s work. We work now, but come from a social paradigm where working and having money is new. If you think in a historical context women have never had […]
I’m always a little surprised when someone tells me that they don’t make a budget. I suppose I always think Grown Ups make budgets. I guess not all of them do. I will say that I think it’s a wise thing to do if you ever want to get anywhere financially, anywhere besides where you […]
