Suze Orman has given advice on almost every financial situation that you could imagine. One thing recently that I was particularly interested in is what Suze Orman calls her Action Pledge for 2009. In a given month Suze Orman wants everyone to take her pledge that says: “Do not spend money for one day. Do not use your credit card for one week. Do not eat out at a restaurant for one month.”

Obviously this had a huge impact on chef’s all across America especially in these days of recession. Suze Orman’s pledge doesn’t take into account the effect it would have on the food industry if everyone chose to eat at home for one whole month.

Restaurants, and the many people and businesses that supply them with their food, are already under threat and financial crises. Many restaurants are being forced to close due to bankruptcy. Although Suze Orman believes that her pledge will lead many to financial freedom chef’s across America are outraged.

I believe that Suze Orman has a valid point although instead of choosing to not eat in a restaurant for one whole month, spend according to your budget. If that means you can only afford to eat out once a month then so be it, but if you can afford to safely eat out more than once a month then enjoy. Maybe you could consider only eating out in less expensive diner’s that belong to struggling communities. That way you’d be saving money and helping out at the same time.

There are a large number of restaurants that do not serve wholesome food instead of using these types of restaurants use one that serves high quality food. Think healthy and purchase what’s good for our bodies, our taste buds, and our money.
