Today I listened to the best advice and insights on money I have ever heard.

Today I listened to an episode on Suze Orman's Women and Money Podcast. She gave me, us listeners the best advice and insights I have ever heard. It was such an eye opener that I felt the need to share it with you...

The episode is about the reasons why you feel broke regardless how much money you make.

Suze gives you the keys to learn how to stop feeling broke and start feeling secure.

Here are Suze Orman own words:


"Money is the currency of life. If there's something wrong with your money it's because there is something wrong with your life.

It's not the money you make, it's what you do with the money you make that determines if you feel powerful or not in life when it comes to money.

Money is a physical manifestation of who you are.

In relationships all of we are looking for is a little bit of emotional acknowledgement. The same is true when it comes to money. We want to know that everything is ok.
The reason that you are broke or you have the feeling you are broke it's because you are BROKEN. You don't have any power.
When you don't have a total connection with your money, if you don't have control over your money, you then have a broken relationship with your money. You have what it takes to earn it but you don't have what it takes to do anything else.

For example, if your car looks like a garbage can, you have a broken relationship with money because you can't respect what money can buy. You cannot respect money itself.

When you have a broken relationship with money, you always feel broke.

What's broken is the true relationship with ourself.

Money is a mirror that reflects back to us. Look at how you feel broken at your relationship with yourself and how does that shows up in your money.

We don't have to live a broken life. When we think we can't be putting back together again (like Humty Dumpty), of course WE CAN!

You start to fix what's broken when you look inside yourself and you realize the ways that you are broken.

Broken means UNATTACHED.


In what ways are you not together, one with who you are? 

If you think something and say something else, it means you are broken, you are not attached, you are disconnected.
You have to go within. All we have in life is communication.
You have to communicate with yourself, knowing your own thoughts and feelings.

Others can never put you back together from being broken, only you can put yourself back together, ONLY YOU, ONLY YOU, ONLY YOU!


(Suze's essential law of money is :People first (which means YOU), then money, then things.

She reminds us again in this episode!)

You have to be one with who you are and what you have. If you are out of balance, you are broken.


Money can never make you feel not broke.

It's the feeling that you have inside you that make you feel broken or not.

What I learn from the past 40 years working in finance is that FEAR, SHAME and ANGER are the 3 internal obstacles of wealth.

Who you are determines what you have and what you get to keep."

Suze is a great teacher and I always look forward to listen to her podcast. She is a remarkable woman and I have so much to learn from her.
