Financial Peace

I love Dave Ramsey. If you don’t know him, he’s an author, TV personality, and host of a nationally syndicated radio program discussing personal finance topics. Dave emphasizes reducing, avoiding, and eliminating debt. A few years ago, my husband and I starting following Dave’s “debt snowball” plan, and we completely eliminated all of our debt, except for our mortgage (which we’re working on now). It’s so liberating to be debt-free, especially during the middle of a recession.

Dave now offers a program called Financial Peace University (FPU) that “teaches people to achieve their financial goals by eliminating debt, saving for the future, and giving like never before.” I haven’t attended it, but I’ve heard fantastic things about the program. For those who are struggling with their finances during this difficult economy, it helps them create a “get well” plan.

Now Dave is offering Financial Peace University lessons across the U.S. for free — no strings attached! According to his website, the lessons will consist of Dave teaching his steps to get out of debt, build wealth, and save for the future. These principles apply to everyone—whether wealthy or struggling in debt. Lessons will be held during the week of April 5th. Seats will fill up quickly so if you want to attend, register today and “start living like no one else so later you can live like no one else.”
