I was watching The Money Class special on PBS featuring Suze Orman. I really wasn’t expecting to learn anything that I didn’t know from watching her weekly show. However, I was amazed at her human interaction. I’m used to seeing her chat with people via web cam or on the phone. It was really a chance to see how amazing she is.
I’ve been looking for a clip or even an update, but because I couldn’t remember the guys name I can’t seem to pull it up online. A guy in the audience was desperately looking for help because he had a crazy amount of student loans and was only making $20,000 a year. I knew the answer before Suze Orman said it: you can’t discharge student loans in bankruptcy. I was hoping that somehow she’d be able to pull an answer out of the air for this guy. Instead, she had him join her on the stage and look at all of the people who thought he could turn this around, and that he thought he had worth. I really love how sometimes, it’s not about money. It just made me feel like people could do anything, turn the recession around, find an acne treatment, or get out of debt. It’s about your own power to change things around, and she is really an expert and combining these two elements together.
