How Suze Orman Starts Her Week

So Suze, is there anything you do on a Monday to set yourself up for success or prevent yourself from having a bad week?

No, because every day to me is an important day.

So you know how sometimes people are like, "Oh, thank God it's the weekend," and, "Oh, now I have to go back to work on Monday," and then they get happy again on a Friday? That's not how I live my life.

Every single day is a new beginning for me.

And I believe you and KT manage almost everything you do without the help of an assistant or a manager or a team, so I was curious if and how AI has started playing a role.

Do you use an AI assistant?

I don't use an AI assistant at all, but in terms of my work or things that need to get done, I'll use AI sometimes for, "Give me the history of this stock."

Mm.

"Give me this, give me that, and put them together." But what's interesting about my field, which is finance, all the artificial intelligence sites, whether it's Claude, Perplexity, um, Anth- all of them, right? Um, Copilot, ChatGPT, they will make serious mistakes when it comes to money.

Mm.

And so I can ask them questions.

I play with them, and I try to trick them.

[laughs]

And then I correct them, and then I ask the question again, and again they give me the wrong answer.

So it's very dangerous for somebody like me to rely on an AI to give me the information that I really, really need.

But I like it.

I think it's fabulous.

I hope it improves as time goes on.

It scares me for many reasons in terms of what it might do to jobs and other things, but, um, I don't use it to be better at what I do.

I use it just for fun little things right now.

Well, I was going to ask you, what would you say to people who want to use AI to help organize their finances?

I think they need to be very, very careful, and it depends what you mean by organize as well.

It may be, "Uh, here's all the things I spent money on this month, this year."

Mm-hmm.

"What do you think about it? Put it into categories." I think that would be fine.
