I have watched Suzette for years.  I have her books and her portfolio.  With her help I am totally financially secure.  I used her portfolio to creste a  free living trust.  If it wasn’t for her advice, I would not be where I am today. I will be watching.


Thank you for your observations and experiences. I have never watched her and will when she is on QVC. I know WHO she is, I know what she looks like, but that is about the extent of it.

She had a prepaid debt card that she said was $3 a month. But she added 18 additional fees to the debt card. CBS on Money Watch had an article about it several years ago. 

 

She stopped it after a year or so.

Orman wont get a dime of my money. Shes a salesperson not an advisor. Her act has worn thin. I'm sure she has made millions but not at my expense.

No one has enough money unless you're a top movie star, gifted athlete or a billionaire!  Probably none of the folks on the QVC forum fall into one of these three categories.....I could be wrong though.

Re: Suze Orman returning to QVC

Suze is oversaturated on my cable system. I see her on PBS and CNBC almost every weekend. Frankly if youve seen her a few times you get all you need to know as she becomes repetitive and people ask her the same questions over and over. Im always wary of people dispensing financial advice. Thankfully I'm savvy enough to make my ow decisions but so many people aren't so I guess she has a market.

Re: Suze Orman returning to QVC

I think Suze is going to be on both channels. Not everyone has both HSN and QVC.

 

Personally, I think she has a lot to offer for people with simple finances, or more likely, the 20-somethings who have no idea they now need to get their paperwork in order because Mom and Dad can no longer make decisions for them in an emergency.

 

A lot of college kids don't realize they need medical directives etc. My son is a 20-something and he does not have any paperwork in order. If something happened to him, I would not be able to sell his car. Or get into any of the investments he is dabbling in. That is her market.

 

She is worth watching. I also don't believe she does it to make millions of dollars. She has already done that. I truly believe her passion is helping people who cannot afford, or need, a financial planner. Thousands and thousands of people live pay check to pay check, and those are the people who need documents in place and do not need an expensive financial planner.

 

The living revocable trust is now good in all 50 states. In the beginning I do remember a few people having trouble with it as not valid. She has worked through all that (as far as I have read).

 

I would do the trust, and then have an attorney look it over. WAY cheaper than hiring an attorney to do it from scratch. Is it good for someone with lots of "material titled things", or big bank acounts? Probably not, but that is not who she is trying to help in my opinion.
