[edit] Zen Master???

[edit] Category: Jewish American Writers ?
I relaize that her parents were Jewish, but she identifies as a Buddhist. Should she be classified as a Jewish writer? --Robb0995 01:03, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- Well, she's certainly Jewish ethnically and culturally, even if she doesn't practice the religion. A lot of Jews aren't religious, but they are unquestionably still Jewish in many ways. Oh, btw, I'll add her to the Buddhist category. Vulturell 06:05, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Orman promotes the Fair & Isaac owned myFICO website, which charges consumers roughly $50 for FICO scores that are available to businesses for under $2 each.
This statement makes it sound like Suze is some kind of crook or something. I suggest that, unless that is actually the intent (which would probably be POV) someone should fix this sentence to read without the insinuation. In fact, I am going to erase everything after website and if anyone feels that the information needs to be added, they should find a more nutral way to word it.
update: rather than eliminate the ending, I reworded it in order to retain the information and link to Fico scores. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Amyanda2000 (talk • contribs) 00:34, 12 February 2006 (UTC).
- Actually, myFICO is the only place where consumers can get their FICO score as far as I know. Fair Isaac runs the FICO score business - FICO stands for Fair Isaac Corporation. I'll clarify the article accordingly. Toby (talk) 04:21, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Suze Orman is WRONG about Using the FICO score to build wealth!
A FICO score is NOT required to buy cars, obtain home loans, cell phones, student loans, etc. Considering how the FICO score is calculated the FICO score is an "I Love Debt" score. In the recent years the banking and lending industry has been heavily pushing the FICO or Beacon score to convince consumers that they should always maintain some level of debt to keep a good score. This is fuel to the fire that has overwelmed the middle and lower class into buying what they cannot afford. The reason the United States has on of the lowest global savings rates when compared to other developed countries is because the middle class and lower class are stuck living paycheck to paycheck thanks to credit card, car, and all other kinds of loan payments.
If what Suze Orman says is true, that Self Worth = Net Worth, then she should be telling more people to save money for major purchases instead of borrowing money to obtain a artificial score. Letting the bank have a plan for your money is like letting a wolf attend to your flock of sheep. I think a majority of Americans forgot that most businesses still accept CASH.
[edit] Does Anyone Know About Suze's Personal Life?
Is she married?
Divorced?
Gay?
She's mentioned that she is in a committed relationship with someone special - who is it? Does she have any children? birth, step or adopted?
