Suze Orman knows a lot about financial matters, and one of the things that she seems most interested in getting across is that money is not evil. There are a lot of people out there who feel that money broke up their friendships and their marriages and caused them all types of stress and problems. There are also a lot of women who feel like they have to give up control of their money to men – their fathers, their brothers, and their husbands.
Orman wants everyone to know that control over their money should be their own, no matter their gender. If a person is of age and mentally competent, no one else should be trying to take care of their money for them.
Relinquishing control is often a poor choice because there’s no guarantee that it can be gotten back easily. In addition, it’s difficult to be sure who control is being given up to and whether they are completely trustworthy.
