Okay, we know she is a financial expert who gives no-nonsense advice to folks who are struggling with issues of money. But I think she also has amazing insight into people and relationships. I was watching her show last weekend with my friend, Mari, and sat riveted as Suze signed off with what apparently is her tag line of “People first, then money, then things.” I was stunned by the simplicity and yet the power of those six words. In these trying economic times, we must remember that it is our relationships that sustain us. When the 401k is in the dumps and we can’t go out to eat anymore, it is the people in our lives that make it bearable. We really can survive a lot when we have our best friends by our side.
So, Suze, I raise my glass of (cheap) chardonnay to you and say – thank you for reminding me what truly matters in life. People first, indeed.
