Learn to Budget with Financial Peace University
Have you ever wondered how to budget effectively without beating your head against the wall? I tried it a few times over the years, but I decided that I just wan’t the “type” of person to follow a budget. Of course, year after year I found that I continued to live month to month without a plan.
A couple years ago my wife and I were invited to attend a 13-part video program (recorded from a live seminar) called “Financial Peace University” by Dave Ramsey. It was touted (by family who attended) to be the best thing for people who’s finances are ‘out of control’.
At the time, money was too tight for us to fork out $125.00 for the program, but local attendees of Financial Peace University in past years had an unofficial pay-it-forward plan, so to speak. The organizers had pooled contributions from generous individuals and offered it up to people who were genuinely interested in learning to budget, but didn’t have the funds. After all, these are the people that need it the most.
We accepted the opportunity with gratitude and attended (most) every class. Surprisingly, we found Dave to be quite humorous and very sensible in his approach to achieving Financial Peace. Near the beginning of the course we received a kit with a 13 CD pack of the entire course, the Financial Peace University hardcover book, and a custom envelope system which you can start using right away.
Dave takes you step by step through the entire process, including but not limited to; managing finances, paying bills, building an emergency fund, education fund, retirement fund, and so on.
If financial peace is something that you need in your life, Financial Peace University is a game changer. There’s no doubt about it.
