Suze Orman and her books

Orman's second book helped make her a public figure.
Today, we look at three of her most enduring titles.

The Ultimate Retirement Guide for 50+ (2020, updated 2025) became an instant bestseller and is still her most popular book. Orman contrasts today's low-interest world with the 1980s, when she recommended 30-year Treasury bonds that yielded 15.5%.

For younger readers, Money Book for the Young, Fabulous, & Broke remains relevant despite being published back in 2005. Orman says youth have the most powerful financial asset of all — time. The Kindle edition costs just $6.

Women & Money tackles what Orman calls an emotional disconnect. Financial advice is gender-neutral, she writes, but many women still avoid taking control of their money. This book is her attempt to change that.

Other titles in her catalogue include:

• The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom: Practical and Spiritual Steps So You Can Stop Worrying
• The Money Class: Learn to Create Your New American Dream

Whatever you pick, Orman’s voice stays the same: blunt, practical, and empowering. As she puts it, every money problem can be solved by the person in the mirror.
