Bestselling author Suze Orman has written a number of books designed to help people with their financial struggles, but now she’s helping out the most clueless of them all - young adults who don’t quite know what they’re doing yet. In The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous, and Broke, Orman offers inspiration and methods for twenty-to-thirty year-olds to dig themselves out of an early grave of credit card and student loan debts with a variety of investing and money management techniques that can help alleviate your financial problems - even if you’re not sure how you got there in the first place. Orman explains FICO scores, IRA rollovers, the stock market, and more in this beginner’s guide to financing that provides answers without insulting your intelligence.
