In response to this post, I have to say that I'm out of my head.
How I Love Suze Orman, Let Me Count the Ways ...

Why on earth did I think, after watching a whole program on how to keep your money in your pocket, that it would be a good idea to drop 400 bucks on money management books???

I just found out that due to an administrative error my payment was not processed - Hooray!! For kicks, I comparison shopped on Amazon.com the products Suze Orman included in the kit that I almost bought and it added up to only $145 worth of stuff!! I almost spent $365!! I suppose I would've been contributing $220 to New Hampshire public television but still - what a rip off! And you know what really makes me mad? On TV she said, "I'm not selling this anywhere else, I wouldn't lie to you!" Grrr.

The only thing that can explain the unexplainable behavior I engaged in is brainwashing. Nope. I couldn't be responsible for impulse buying. Yup, I was sucked in by Wiley Suze and her sidekick, Hypnotic Hair.

I can't get enough of Suze Orman. She should win the "Nobel Prize for Empowering Women" for what she does for women and their relationship with money. I just caught one of her shows on NHPTV (www.nhptv.org) and I was moved to part with $365 for the 'free' gift.

Here's what it is comprised of:

To demonstrate my allegiance to her cause and to the good of all women, I will expose my debt levels with reckless abandon. Deep breath ... here goes.
