Financial Peace? Yes, please!

Hello!!

Have you heard of Dave Ramsey?  Have you heard of his Financial Peace University (FPU)?   Well, I have and I finally have the opportunity to attend this nine week course towards financial freedom!! Goooo ME!

Materials for FPU

I first heard of Dave Ramsey several years ago.  A friend had recommended one of his books that explained how to pay off debt, investing money, saving money, etc..... But I didn't really take it all that serious.  I mean, I bought the book and had intended on reading it and following Dave's advice, but just never really got around to it.  Over the years, I had listened to a few of Dave's radio shows and watched a few of his YouTube videos and thought to myself, "I'd really like to take his Financial Peace University course", but again just never got around to it.  I do not have a ton of debt, but I knew that Dave taught more than just paying off debt; he talked about investing your money wisely, how to be a savvy home buyer/seller, and most of all giving.   Not just the occasional donation or church offering here and there, but giving BIG and regularly.  So, around the holiday season when I once again Googled Dave Ramsey, I found that there would be new classes starting after the new year for FPU in my area and I immediately took to social media (Facebook) to get anyone's opinion regarding the FPU course.  Surprisingly, several of my FB friends had taken the course and some had even taken it twice.  Needless to say, the FPU came highly recommended, so I signed up! My first class is meeting Monday, January 12 just a couple of miles from home.  Yea!

If you are not familiar with Dave Ramsey and his financial teachings, but would like to know more, I suggest looking up Dave on his web site or on YouTube.  He seems like a really nice guy.

I will keep you all posted on what I'm learning and then of course at the end of my nine weeks I will let you know if I recommend this or not.  (I'm gonna guess yes, I would recommend - I did not come across one person  who had taken the course that did not recommend it.)
