Suze Orman's Official Channel

Hosted by Suze Orman

America's matriarch of money gives blunt, direct financial advice to callers and viewers, often with a dose of tough love.

The brief

A library of classic episodes from Suze Orman's long-running CNBC show, where she fields questions from everyday people about their financial lives. Orman's style is part financial advisor, part tough-love therapist, and part game show host. She analyzes viewers' debt, savings, and spending, culminating in a blunt verdict on whether they can afford a purchase or if their retirement plan is sound.

Suze Orman's personality is the show's defining feature. Her theatrical, no-nonsense delivery, catchphrases ("People First, Then Money, Then Things"), and signature segments like "Can I Afford It?"—complete with a giant "Approved" or "Denied" stamp—make complex financial topics accessible and entertaining.
