Proof of the current recession- the Suze Orman Show

Nothing that reminds me more that we are in a recession than the snarling Suze Orman and her call-in show advising people on whether or not they can afford a particular purchase. It seems like most callers can save time and assume that if you need to call in and ask whether or not you can afford a certain purchase, then odds are you cannot afford it. Personally it seems a little challenging to take financial advice from someone that spends millions on a private jet or someone that claims stocks are the best investment vehicle for growth when she personally has 97% invested elsewhere. But it's good to know there is someone out there to give advice next time I am debating whether I can afford that Maserati or luxury yacht.
