If you happened to be home on Saturday night at 9pm (…and know what I look like) there’s a chance you’re already aware of this bizarre news.
Long story short. I wrote an article about following Suze Orman’s cash-only diet. Here it is on Aol’s lifestyle site, Lemondrop.com
Suze found said article because some fan of her show read it and tweeted it to her. And Suze is a major tweeter.
A Suze Orman Show producer then left me a cryptic e-mail that my Mom was certain implied I was being sued.
What followed was an financial strip-search, over-the-phone media training, and 8:30am TV taping all leading up to my national television debut (I know, but Sesame Street was on cable. But more on that…never).
The segment aired on Saturday (which was among the stranger birthday gifts I’ve received) and my mother’s phone has been ringing ever since (…beginning to ring Saturday night and ending Sunday around noon).
I wrote a recap of the whole insane experience for Lemondrop.com, so if you happened to be out of the house on Saturday at 9pm (or still don’t know what I look like), you can still find out all about how Suze Orman schooled me in spending.
And – note to 20-something selves – manicures, jewelry, and gifts are not legitimate budget items.

That’s kind of awesome. Watching the video now.
very cool. That article you wrote for Lemondrop was actually what got me reading their site in the first place.
I just saw your article on lemondrop! I’m trying to do something similar, and writing about it on my blog at http://www.athousandpenniesaday.blogspot.com. Check it out if you have a chance–I feel like our experiences are really similar!
