More quotes by Suze Orman
The things that matter most in this world are those that carry no price tag, for they can neither be bought nor sold at any price.
Suze Orman
A great teacher once taught me that you've got to have faith that everything happens for the best. I have had many setbacks in my career and every setback has led me that much further into my truth.

If you have a 50 percent match and you get in trouble financially, you can either withdraw money as a loan, or withdraw the 50 percent match. If you take it out, you have to pay taxes on it, but you still come out ahead.

Once your kids are grown and you know that you're completely healthy, consider canceling your life insurance policy.

I grew up thinking that because I couldn't read, I was stupid and would never amount to anything. I worked my way through college as a waitress and thought I wasn't capable of doing anything else. My grades in English were horrible, and I barely got through.

Absolutely pay off credit card debt. If you're not getting a match in your 401(k) and you've got credit card debt, you've got to get yourself out of credit card debt. When you get out of credit card debt, your credit score goes up and interest starts to go down.

After you marry, every asset either of you acquires is jointly held. That's why you both need to be in sync on your long-term financial goals, from paying off the mortgage to putting away for retirement. Ideally, you should talk about all this before you wed. If you don't, you can end up deeply frustrated and financially spent.

We tend to focus on assets and forget about debts. Financial security requires facing up to the big picture: assets minus debts.
Suze Orman
If you have debt I'm willing to bet that general clutter is a problem for you too.
Suze Orman
When you start really respecting yourself, those you love, and your money, the result is that you start having control over your money. What follows from that is control over your life.
Suze Orman
Focus on what you have.

Put your financial life on autopilot as a form of 'forced' saving.

Women are fighters. They will fight and fight and fight to get what they need, especially if they have children.

I have a million dollars in the stock market, because if I lose a million dollars, I don't personally care.

Money is the currency of life because it is the external measurement system that all of us have as to how we judge where we are in our own lives.
Suze Orman
Money is a living entity, and it responds to energy exactly the same way you do. It is drawn to those who welcome it, those who respect it. Wouldn't you rather be with people who respect you and who don't want you to be something you're not? Your money feels the same way.

Cut back your spending now.

I have never been a fan of bond funds. Unlike a direct investment in an individual bond that you can hold to maturity and be assured you will get your principal back (assuming no default), a fund has no finite maturity date and most funds are actively traded.

Abundance is about being rich, with or without money.

Stop buying things you don't need, to impress people you don't even like.
