Get some answers, Girlfren’ (or Boyfren’)

One of the greatest things about being home for breaks is definitely late night TV …. or just having time to watch TV, for that matter. So it was with great pleasure that I finally discovered the Suze Orman show - I’ll admit, I’ve been intrigued ever since they started spoofing her on SNL.

I’ve become quickly obsessed …. I spent most of today YouTubing clips from her show (and re-watching the SNL skits) - it’s sort of amazing how someone can be so obnoxious and yet so intriguing at the same time. I mean, she’s clearly smart, but there aren’t that many respectable TV personalities that can get away with referring to a caller as “Girlfren,” and there aren’t that many respectable people period who can emphasize so many syllables with equal importance. She’s sort of amazing.

So halfway through my Suze Orman marathon, my father discovered how incredibly lazy and unproductive I was being me and suggested I ask Suze for advice on how to invest my money - afterall, she’s bound to love me … I have no debt, about $7,000 in savings and some considerable cushion in the fact that I don’t pay many expenses (no rent, utilities, not too many bills, etc) and own a car. So, for probably the first time ever, I’m going to take my dad’s advice (he gave me $5 to get my car washed today and instead, I bought Starbucks … being home is so great).

I’ll keep you updated on what she says …. though I suspect it ends with: People first, money second, things third. Thanks, Suze.

The Suze Orman Show airs Saturdays at 9 p.m. and midnight on CNBC. Check her out.
