Yeah I saw the commerical for it last night. I love Suze Orman but unfortunately i am at work now. 
She gave a little advice Saturday night before her show about the financial crisis. It was very good.

I'm Tivo'ing it. Wish I knew a way copy those files. I know there is a usb port on my cable box, but that's about as savvy as I get. Though that would probably be illegal. lol
She just really stuck it to a couple who have been living off their credit cards, even paying their mortgage with credit cards. They are now $90k in CC debt. They sat there silently listening to her basically yell at them, but I think they got her message and I think she's sending a very important message to all the viewers. I hardly EVER watch TV during the day. Honestly. I don't know what the heck made me turn on the TV - and for it to be Suze Orman on the screen it was just too strange that I caught it.
I guess one good thing about having had an issue with my credit over the years was that I learned to only buy what I can afford. I have no debt and everything I have is paid in cash. I even do what she said and keep my cars for 10 years until they die. 
I would have done that anyway, I am just one of those people that doesn't care about a new vehicle, I just need the darn thing to get me from point A to point B. Though I am guilty of paying $200 for a pair of jeans...(ridiculous! I know) so I'm not faulting anyone for wanting a nice vehicle!

The thing she talked about and said a few times that makes me worry is the ability to get a mortgage. Darn it, I'm in my 30's, with a 10 yr old son and I've been busting my butt to reach a point where I could buy us a home. I could have done it a few years back, but I wanted to wait until I was in a better position. It makes me a little nervous to think that I still won't be able to do that. Eeek. I hope not.

In the Sacramento area, they rerun Oprah at 9 on a different channel, a lot of areas do the same, might want to check....or I was wondering if they do an online version. Personally, I believe what Suzie says to be pretty on track, but her voice and mannerisms drive me crazy. Even so, would have DVR'd, but its doing weird things, and is unplugged.
Starting Score: EQ 679, TU 697
Believe me i know how you feel. I am 37 with a 5 yr old. My only saving grace is that she is going to the #1 charter school in the state. FREE TUITION. She wants a house and a puppy. That is my goal by the time i am 40 (3yrs). Trying to have my credit back on point by March/ April 2009.
Suze does scare me sometimes but she really keeps it real. Granted sometimes i go off radar but something always pulls me back.

Oprah does not come back on in NJ until after 12am. I will be knocked out by then
I'm soooo bummed I missed it, but I expect it will be available on YouTube before too long and it's such an important issue for everybody, maybe Oprah will air it again!
I would think you could still buy a house right now, depending upon where you live. Our scores are still bad, as I've only made a LITTLE progress on them and haven't worked on credit issues since before Hurricane Gustav!
We found out today, much to our surprise, that we may be able to qualify for a house we've been looking at. It's a foreclosure, built just last year, sitting on an acre with the inside unfinished. This is perfect for us because we WANT to finish it!
UpUpUp, please PM & let me know what state you're in (I know you've told me but I forget...sorry).
