I watched this special on PBS three times and was impressed not only by the amount of information on the show but by her motivational speaking abilities. A wealth of knowledge for those who need a little direction. She explores many aspects of building financial wealth and security, including credit reports and FICO scores, paying off debt, handling credit cards, etc. A must see for young people starting out as well as older ones who may have made a few mistakes along the way.

Ms Orman is the best writer for young people just beginning their consuming [and saving] life. I bought this for my two children... and was pleasantly surprised that both seemed to use the step-by-step process to move to the next level.(one read the book, while the other watched the DVD) I am a fan of this writer and would give anything she writes high marks for clarity and direction. Suze is the best financial writer and her TV shows are also worth my time to watch.

Wish I had seen this DVD at age 10, Suze's advice applys at any age...Grandparents can take advantage of all these principles and make it work for the future of their children and grandchildren. It shows YF&B, how they can stand on their individual financial strength and stay independent and gain self-esteem.

Suze wrote this follow up piece because some folks found her old advice to be impossible. Having several months of emergency money put aside etc. The notion that someone hungry for job advancement should work 12 hour days and put groceries on their credit cards may also be impossible. It could also backfire when the company you are giving all your time to fails to notice your efforts. I was actually scolded for staying around too long at work even when I wasn't trying to collect overtime. I did learn something about credit scores though.

This is easy to understand, suze explains it well, holds your interest. i bought 1 for me and 1 for my boy. he inherited money and is spending it.

i have an insurance license, so i understand 401ks, etc... middle age and made some mistakes so watching it was great! lost a job and took another one not in my field. also want my boy to watch it to get his priorities straigt.

i gave it 5 out of 5 stars because it was good, but not as comprehensive as i thought it would be, but then again i hold insurance licenses, and this is supposed to be for the young- but good for beginners or those who have no financial knowlege or middle aged mistake makers. SUze holds your interest! if there were 4 1/2 out of 5 i would have given it that but its definetly better than 4.

i dont even have a 3 month emergency fund and am trying to get rid of credit debt.

i would recommend this to young people who want to get their priorities straight, reduce debt, or even middle aged people like myself who have made mistakes in finances along the way...

Suze Orman " The Young Fabulous & Broke " DVD Provides basic financial management information for people that are always struggling with bad money, credit cards management issues. She really motivates people on how to be concious about to create a good income source and how to get rid of the bad spending habits.

I can't believe the amount of information contained in this program. The advice she has is clear and her desire to help is sincere. Loved it!

I like Suze Orman, but this was at most entertaining, I probably won't watch it a second time. It didn't really provide me with enough new information on what to do with my finances and now I am $15 further into debt. Save yourself the money and just borrow it from the library.

Suze only spreads the lies and misconseptions that the credit card company's want you to believe. Listen to Dave Ramsey instead. Debt is NOT A TOOL!!!! Try living debt free and you will accumulate much more in the way of wealth.
