Basically, she had no savings. No rainy day fund. No retirement funds. No investments.
What's the first think Suze Orman types tell all of those women that watch her? Have enough set aside for 2-3 months living expenses - minimum!

You could call her stupid, but I find it fascinating.
In fact, I'd say they're often highly correlated.
