Young, Fabulous & Broke Meets the Budget Fashionista

Thank you to all the publishers who send me their latest money and empowerment books. I try to read as many as possible and review them here.

I especially was thrilled to get the Young, Fabulous & Broke by Suze Orman right after How to be a Budget Fashionista showed up in my mail. Those two are a match made in heaven for women under 30 and on the Ms.Money required reading list.

From her book How to Be a Budget Fashionista: Kathryn Linney teaches women that they don't need to sacrifice style to pay their electric bill. She opens her Prada bag of shopping and style tips to make you fashionably frugal, with change to spare. It is as easy at 1-2-3.
1. Know your Budget: Learn innovative, money-saving ways to increase your clothing funds
2. Know your Style: Get helpful hints from fashion insiders and use them to develop your own mode of self-expressions.
3. Know your Bargains: Discover the art of scoring exclusive friends-and-family coupons at your favorite department stores.

Once our under-30 set has finished off this read, they must turn to The Young, Broke and Fabulous book by Suze Orbman who does an excellent job of painting a pretty picture for even those in the most dire of money circumstances. Her thoughts are that anyone can escape the poverty syndrome and put a plan of action together that will give you financial freedom.

With it's off-the-hip friendly style, it will definately appeal to the Generation X crowd. It was simple and easy to read and captivated my attention like few money books do. I loved the clean layout with the Problem and Solution boxes that are right on target with the issues the just-out-of-college generation faces.
