FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 15, 2008

The credit crunch, the stock market freefall, the staggering toll of home foreclosures and job losses: The economic crisis that struck in 2008 has left no one untouched. Seemingly overnight, the financial landscape has undergone seismic changes that have opened up all kinds of questions about things that used to seem so certain: Are your savings safe? Should your retirement fund be invested in the stock market? Will you be able to afford your child's college tuition? Who better to answer these questions than Suze Orman, the nation's go-to expert on financial matters?
 
In her new book, Suze Orman's 2009 Action Plan (Spiegel & Grau; on sale: December 30, 2008; $9.99), Suze delivers honest, straightforward guidance that will help you adapt to the new economic reality of today and place you on the path to financial security in the years ahead. She discusses what safeguards should be put in place, appropriate actions to take, costly mistakes to avoid and even opportunities to be had so that you are protected during the downturns and prepared to prosper when things take a turn for the better. 

Suze Orman's 2009 Action Plan addresses every question you may have about credit, savings and spending, paying for college, retirement, real estate and protecting your family.
