My new friend Suze Orman's Save Yourself Plan at TD Ameritrade- open an account and get Free Money (seriously)

I just finished reading Suze Orman’s book “Women and Money” and URGE you to buy it and read it…a) it is absolutely worth reading & keeping as a resource and b) Suze is awesome in general, and c) your book comes with an offer code to open a “Save Yourself” account w/ TD Ameritrade. Basically, you set up an account, fund with regular monthly deposits of at least $50, and after 12 consecutive months you get $100 deposited into your account. (No maintenance on the account)

This program was started to help women be more insightful & confident about financial decisions, and the book provides a structured framework for saving. Here is some info below. You can buy the book pretty much anywhere, but note that the offer expires March 31, 2008.

Even without this offer, I highly recommend reading this book. I remember at Smith having a discussion in a class about women, independence and what it means to be a “liberated woman.” I’ve carried with me ever since the idea that women will never be liberated until they are financially enlightened- which means knowing HOW to finance her life and having the resources/knowledge to do it… financial independence.

I feel even more strongly about making sure other women sign up for this program because I am unable to take advantage of it due to company restrictions. I work for a broker-dealer and can't take advantage of this due to our designated broker policies, so I think anyone that can absolutely SHOULD.
