want the life that you have, and be happy with every day from now until eternity. everybody, for now anyway, just for now "the money class" is dismissed! [cheers & applause] (man) stay tuned for more advice from suze and your final chance to call in your support for this station. we have been schooled; that was quite a class. was larry, the cutest thing you ever saw in your life? i hear you're still in touch with him. yes, just so all of you know 'cause i know you all have hearts out there in public television land; larry and i speak, we speak through e-mail; he's fine, he's going to be fine. i love that man! yes. the neat thing is there's so much more, like what you show with larry is that there are opportunities out there. there's a lot of information; people just aren't aware of it. yes,

and so here's the goal really of this show, which is this, and the total goal, truthfully of "the money class" book that i've written it's so that you can take control of your life. so many of you feel like you're out of control. you don't where to go, you don't know what to do. don't you just want to feel like you have a little bit of power and you have control over what's to happen tomorrow? well, that's how we feel here on public television. we want to know that we can control our destiny that we can continue to bring programming like this to you, not just this week or next week but forever-- forever. so to be able to do that, have control over our destiny, you have to help us. but to help us having control over our destiny we want you to have control over yours so this a give-and-take thing right here. so ernie, we've created thank-you gifts that say thank-you to all of you for watching public television, but i've got news for all of you you're going to be thanking us once you get these gifts! and it's so easy. you make the call

of support the number's on the screen or better yet, you can even visit us on the website but the important thing is that you make that pledge of support, do it now. it not only helps your community it helps the experience of public television continue to come into your homes. but we're also going to help you with your future, your financial future. for a lot of folks, like myself included, i thought, i didn't do what i should have done when i should have and now it's too late. but you're telling me it's never too late. here's the roadmap where to go from now. it's never too late, but here's the thing you can do things that are wrong, you can be thinking that it's not too late so you take actions but it's possible that the actions that you take aren't the actions that you should be taking. but you don't have to worry about that with the gifts that we have for you here. so just very briefly, i'll take you through it, 'cause you know, i'm the one who loves to talk about money! and i love to talk about money because i'll be the last person on the earth to ever tell you that money alone will ever make you happy. but i'd be the first one to tell you lack of money sure will make you miserable. so take a listen everybody because you now are going to have the tools so that you really will be able

to create your new american dream. for $75, you will get a dvd of this program. we say thank-you if you want to enter in on that level. no matter where you are we appreciate any gift that you have for us here on public television. at $150, you will get a copy of the dvd and a copy of "the money class" book. i just want to take a second to talk about this book to you. this book, without a shadow of a doubt, is the most important book that i have ever written in my life. it will literally take you by your hand and help you go through each class, each class that is vital for you to be able to learn how to create your new american dream. it covers in detail everything you need to know about your family, careers real estate, and it has an extensive chapter in fact 3 of them, on retirement planning. as you see on your screen, these are just a few highlights of the

actual lessons that are in "the money class" book. this book comes with everything you could possibly need including a pass code that allows you to go to my website where a classroom opens up to you with everything you need, it works hand in hand, i am telling you, this book will give you control back into your life. however, at the $250 level, this is where everything comes alive. you get the dvd, you get "the money class" book. you also get "the money tools." "the money tools" were created for you just here on public television. why did i do that? i personally believe that public television is a gift. it is a gift to every single one of us that gets to watch it. we learn, our lives are enhanced our values are embraced, and we become more. so this is a gift that i created for all of you because, because of you we're allowed to continue to bring programming like this to you. so ernie... i'm ready, i'm ready.

there are 6 cd-roms here, which one do you like the most? the one that i like the most identity theft. so let me start with what ernie happens to like the most. these 6 cd-roms created just for you in "the money tools" kit. he says he likes the identify theft. what is this one? this one's very simple. how many of you are afraid that maybe your identity is going to be stolen? if you're afraid of that, you should be, because this is a problem that is increasing all the time. one cd-rom, put it in, will give you one year of identity theft protection. now, this will give you many things, but it will help you in case you lose your wallet, it will help you get all those credit cards sorted for you, it gives you $50,000 of protection if you do get your identity stolen so many things on this one cd-rom, i cannot even tell you. (ernie) what's your favorite one? (suze) i have to tell you, i have 2 favorites and i'm going to get them out here. (ernie) what they give you is peace of mind. once you do this, to know that you're secure is such a wonderful

gift. my 2 favorite cd-roms are these number 1, the will and trust kit and the must-have documents. it is in this one here where my own trust lawyer now becomes your trust lawyer. you're going to be able to in the luxury of your home, create all of the documents that you need today to protect your tomorrows. every single one of you should have a will a living revocable trust, a durable power of attorney for healthcare, and an advanced directive. now you be honest with me and you stand in your truth. do you have those 4 must-have documents, signed, sealed and delivered right here and right now as i am looking into this camera? ah! i didn't think so. alright, would it give you comfort to know because you go, what lawyer where do i go, i don't have the money. my lawyer is now going to be your lawyer. all you have to do is answer the questions on this cd-rom up will come the documents that you need in your particular situation. it is good in all 50 states, mac and pc, no matter what, it's good, and

internet access is required. so here's what's so fabulous about this. once you have done this, now, anytime you make a change you go back, go back to the cd- rom that lives on your computer so if you go from being single to married, make a change, it's not going to cost you anything. go from single with no kids to single with one kid-- not going to cost you anything. now you have grandchildren, now you have great grandchildren every time you make a change, it's not going to cost you a penny. so if you went to see janet for just the 4 must-have documents, it would cost you at least $2500. now, here's what you can do. i understand very well that there are people out there that maybe can't afford this. maybe you have an uncle 86 years of age, or a grandpa or even your mama and you want to protect them as well. here's how you're going to do it. just step up to say thank-you thank-you public television for giving us great, great entertainment, ethical entertainment, entertainment that has integrity, and here's what you do. you can take

this cd-rom once you've downloaded it into your computer, you now can send this as a gift to your uncle, your aunt, your mother your father. so it's $2500, $2500, $2500 $2500, you can save the whole world. you can be part of creating this new american dream by making sure others are protected. so this is my very favorite one of all, ernie. i want to find out what your 2nd favorite is. (suze) you got it! right now i need all of you to go to the phone, make that call of support, we want to hear from you we want to help insure your future, right now, joan has a few other things she wants to share with us. thank-you, well today suze's asking you to stand in your truth, to look within yourself and be honest about your relationships with those you love and your relationship with your money. and i'd like to encourage you to take this moment to stand in your truth and your relationship with pbs, that is really what you have with this station. it is a relationship. and when you turn to public television, you expect quality, variety integrity, and you trust

us to be unbiased and truthful. in fact, year after year, the roper public opinion poll has shown that americans consider pbs to be their most trusted source for news and public affairs information. and parents trust us to provide their children with a safe haven where they can learn and be respected for being just the way they are. we take our role in this relationship very seriously. we work to bring you programs that value your time and respect you as an intelligent person. when you turn on this station, we hope you are inspired surprised, moved to tears or moved to take action, and ultimately we hope you feel the time you spent here was time well spent. you look to us to add richness and meaningful experiences to your life, and we look to you to make this all possible, because we rely on your financial support-- that's the truth! please call the number on your screen and support us with a donation in any amount you feel comfortable making. we promised you we would continue. i don't want to leave you hanging, your other favorite one. i like them

all all 6, so picking a favorite is like a favorite child. i will forever believe you have favorite children out there, but anyway, we won't go there right now. next cd-rom that i actually love is the fico kit you will get 3 fico scores from transunion, along with 3 credit reports from them. you're also going to be able to find how to get out of debt. there's a debt eliminator; it literally goes in on this one cd-rom here, i'm looking for it right now. while you're looking for it i'll say, don't waste a moment; get to the phones right now make that call of support. if it's important to you to have a strong financial future, if it's important to you to have a public television station that is strong and vibrant in the future, make that call right now-- we need to hear from you. yes, but you know what? as much as we need to hear from you, you need to hear and get these things that we're offering you right now because these are the keys, these are the tools that literally unlock your financial future. again, for $75, yes, you can get the show.

for $150 you can get the dvd and what i'm considering my best work ever, "the money class" book. but for $250, you can get the dvd, you can get "the money class" book and this "money tools" set that was created only for public television and it is in these 6 cd-roms. these are not just cd-roms that you're listening to information. these are programs; they interact with you. (ernie) they take you on a journey, you explore your financial future. (suze) no, they don't just explore your things, they do your future for you, so if you need to create a will a trust or whatever, it does that for you. it evaluates actually your insurance policies that you already have. how many of you have insurance on your home? is it possible that you're overpaying on your insurance premium because your insurance agent didn't happen to call you to say, oh, the value of your home decreased, so you should lower your premium. this cd-rom will save you on your insurance premiums that you are currently paying. next, you have the fico kit with 3 fico scores from transunion and 3 credit reports. are you kidding

me, people? then you have the identity theft cd-rom everything is there that you want to make sure that your identity is okay, the dna lifeline, and the list goes on and on. so these 6 cd-roms have artificial intelligence in some of them, you answer questions, up comes what you need. these are worth thousands of dollars, and again many of them you can download on your computer and then pass them on so the gift goes on and on and on. make sure that you make that call of support. don't let the time run out don't be sitting there after we go away and say i should have. no more "should haves." do what you can and do it now. right now, we're going to go over to joan. it is time to make a contribution to support this station right now. and choose a thank-you gift to get even more out of "the money class"." with your gift of $75, you'll receive a dvd of this program suze orman's "money class," with the great bonus footage that is fun but also has even more information in it than what you saw in this broadcast. now with a $150 gift, we'll thank you with the dvd and "the money class"

book and that book has advice and information that applies to people of all ages and situations from starting your child's college savings plan to how much you should spend on a new home to managing your finances in retirement. at the $250 contribution level, you'll receive "the money class" collection featuring the 6 cd "money tools" set. the cds will protect the people you love, the money you worked so hard for, and the things you acquire with that money. the legal documents, credit report and other resources are virtually invaluable and can be shared with everyone you love. along with the 6 cd set, you will receive "the money class" dvd and the book. choose the amount that's right for you and then give us a call or go online and make your contribution right now. suze, what i love about all this too is it's not just for me, it's not just for the person who receives them as a gift. it does really change the life of your family. the truth of the matter is, and you know this, is money affects every

single person that you come in contact with. if you have a family, whatever it may be if you're in a relationship. when one of you isn't doing well with money nobody is doing well with money. and the key to money today is for you to take a "money class," for you to learn what you need to know. i say this all the time you might not want to know this information, but you really need to know it. you work 40, 60, 80 hours a week if you're lucky enough to have a job right now. don't let one moment pass, don't let one dollar go to waste. don't let your time be wasted in worrying about something, when all you have to do is go back to "the money class" and learn what you need to know. there are so many things in "the money class" book that say do this, don't do that don't do that, do this. and these are all new things everybody. this is not things that i said to do 4 years ago, 6 years ago 10 years ago; these things are for today's economy,

today's time so that you can take control over your life. it's all about taking control over your life, whether you are 20, whether you are 40, whether you are 80, this book covers the entire gambit. so these thank-you gifts here, no matter who you are, ernie, are great, and that's what's happening right on public television. public television is great; public television is great because it is priceless. in the same way i think these gifts are priceless to you, i mean, what would you pay to protect your family? what would you pay to make sure that you knew your investments were correct? what would you pay to make sure that your identify and everything was just the way that it should be? those are priceless gifts that we're offering you. but we're offering it from something that is even more priceless, and that's public television. how do you put a value on programming that touches the heart, how do you put a value on programming that enhances your family? how do you put a value on something who's sole

intention is to entertain you in a way that has integrity, clarity, and honesty behind it? that's what public television is all about, which is why i am always so proud to be part of public television. do you know, i made my debut on public television in 1998, and i have never, ever looked back. i'm proud to stand here today as much as i was when i stood here back in 1998, and i want to be able to stand here years from now. but the way that that happens is through your support. so we want to support you, we're asking you to support us and do you know what i love about this collection here? the truth of the matter is, if you were to go out and buy this anywhere else if you could you would actually pay far more for it, and that is the truth. so suze wanted to bring you a gift that was worth every penny of it. because public television is worth every moment of your time that you watch, and i wanted to make sure that the gift that we were

sending to you for your support, was worth every single penny that you were sending to us, so this is the most equal exchange that we've ever offered before in the history of a suze show. well, it's interesting, when you say it's "priceless," people lose sight of the fact that it costs a lot of money for public television to be there for them. it's easy to turn on your tv and have it there, but it costs a lot of money, it takes a lot of viewers, just like you; the time that you take to put into it to make sure, ensure that it's there for your community. so right now we ask that you do do that, that you join us in this mission of bringing public television into everyone's homes and keeping it strong and vibrant a place where shows like this have a home where the information is there for people. yeah, and again, this is information that is so vital so seriously vital, i cannot even stand it. so joan, why don't you tell everybody about how vital it is. i would tell you that it is amazing, and it is vital. we have been on quite a journey with suze today. we're talking about tough subjects and the way it has such a profound impact on this country.

she has challenged us to dig deep and be honest with ourselves about our finances, and then stand in that truth as you move forward and make decisions that will affect your future. it's tough stuff. we've laughed, we've cried, and most importantly, we have found hope and inspiration that things can get better. it's a great example of what you find on public television-- motivation, inspiration, empowerment. the program is almost over, so if you have been waiting to call with your support please don't wait any longer. take advantage of this opportunity to invest in something that you find so valuable in your life. if you'd like to continue your own journey through suze's "money class," consider getting one of the thank-you gifts. again, at the $75 level, you'll receive a dvd of "suze orman's money class" with that great bonus footage; with a $150 gift you will get the dvd and "the money class" book, which is filled with insight and information for you to put to good use and at the $250 level you receive the dvd, the book and the "money tools" 6

cd set. so choose the amount that's right for you and then please give us a call or go online and make your contribution right now. thank-you. we are thrilled to have this opportunity to offer all of this information to you not only from the show itself that you've been enjoying but also from all these fabulous thank-you gifts. the only reason we're here is because viewers like you have been here for us in the past. and we hope that you watching right now have taken the time to make that call of support, not just for us, but as suze has been saying, for yourself. you know, on some level, i've grown up on public television. you know, the very first show was in 1998 and here i am and i'm going to be 60 in a few months. so if you think about it, over those years, i'm no different than all of you. i grew up here, and i grew up here appreciating everything. and so as i stand here in front of you as we're about to end right now, we number one want to say thank-you, thank-you for allowing us to continue to bring programming like this to you, but however, i hope you thank

yourself and you don't miss out on this most extraordinary, and it is, the most extraordinary thank-you gift we have ever offered before. it is worth far more than you have any idea but it is the way for you to create your new american dream. at the $250 level of course, you get the dvd you get "the money class" book, and you get the 6 cd-rom set called, "the money tool kit," created just for you here on pbs. this is worth thousands and thousands of dollars of documents, all kinds of forms, can you trust me on this one? this is something you should all do. now remember, just to quickly remind you at the $75 pledge level, we can say thank-you with a dvd of the show you have totally been enjoying. go up to the $150 level and we can say thank-you with both the book and the dvd a wonderful combination, so much information, plus the book unlocks so much more on the website. it's more than what you see in front of you. and then if you can go up to the $250 level, we say thank-you with the whole collection.

it's all there for you, the amazing dvd, the wonderful book, and the fabulous cd-roms. they are just a wonderful value. yeah, they're a wonderful value, but they truthfully are your key to unlock the door to your future so that you can, in fact, learn to create your new american dream. we thank you here from public television, thank you for taking "the money class" with us and just know this-- forever and a day you will be precious to us, so from our hearts to yours we thank you. and we thank you. thanks ernie. ♪ ♪
