Suze Orman on Real Estate

[svelte]

Her message is very good, packaged in a way that will make people watch the show. She’s very good at that tough love stuff “WTF were you thinking???” and can say it in a way that people don’t take offense.

It gets too sappy for me to sit through a whole show, but I’m glad she’s on the air and that her message gets across to those who need it. I applaud her and wish there were more shows like hers instead of all this (non-)reality TV.

The mother hen of domestic economics. Good, solid, frank, honest-to-goodness, no holds-barred, wrap-on-the-knuckles wisdom, freshly baked straight out of the oven. She’s a brick!

I watched her show for the first time yesterday, and was heartened to hear her giving sound and conservative financial advice.
I only wish Gerri Willis on CNN could be so ‘tough love’.

I particularly liked the “Can You Afford It?” section, especially when a 14-yr-old fan-boy ( trapped in the body of a 45-yr-old husband) called in to find out if he could ‘afford’ a life-size replica of Robbie the Robot, for a mere $25K.
This was a guy with only $100K in his 401(K) and $50K of savings…

Suze actually rolled her eyes when he explained that he’d pay a downpayment and ‘finance’ the rest.
And, of course, asked the $64,000 question that pretty much every woman watching was asking themselves….”So, what does your WIFE think of this?…” embarrassed silence ensues… 😉

Personally, I find her a bit too OTT to watch for too long, but its still good to know that she pretty much rejects outright anyone who has debt of any kind – be it CC, Student loans, ARMS etc.. and tells them to get rid of ALL DEBT before going after big-ticket items.

And…some of the stuff people convince themselves they can afford to buy!

A guy was seriously thinking of going halves with sister and BiL on a Lakehouse for $44K (his share)- with a 10/0/80 mortgage, student loan, car lease payment and only $7K in savings. Sheesh…

would that be 90% or 95% of the general population?

I suspect the callers she picks to air are not a random cross section of general population. She (her show) probably selects the most egregiously (financially) ignorant callers. Like Jay Leno's walk around interviews on the street.
