Can “Financial Peace University” change your life?

I must confess that I began this journey as the reluctant spouse. My husband asked me to give this Dave Ramsey guy a chance at helping us figure out our finances. Now, I am eternally grateful that my stubbornness didn’t get in the way. What I learned through Financial Peace University ultimately helped not only our finances, it strengthened our marriage, increased our communication and improved my relationship with God. The concepts we learned are pretty straight forward, but I found that it was in the small group discussions that helped keep us accountable along this path. Through this process, we managed to pay all debts (except the house), begin our retirement accounts, establish college funds for our children and establish a six month emergency fund. During this time we even dealt with a company lay-off and moved our family without diving back into our old spending habits! Three years ago, this would definitely not have been possible! I am so thankful for what we have learned and am passionate about changing our family tree and never allowing debt to be an issue in our situation. Sure, we are weird… but Normal is BROKE!

There is definitely some discipline required to follow through with the program, but having been there already… it is so worth it! This program has truly blessed this family and I am forever grateful for this knowledge.
