Financial Peace

We have gone to two of our get out of debt classes. I'm a little hesitant to write a whole lot about it because I don't want to get sued or anything like that! Basically, the speaker Dave Ramsey teaches couples (and singles) how to get out of debt and build wealth. I really have enjoyed the classes so far. The CU is hosting the classes on Tuesday evenings and there are several employees signed up. K has to come with and he swears that I tricked him into it. I remember telling him that the classes go for 13 weeks but he seems to think I only mentioned one week :) This week's was really helpful because it talked about the differences between men and women's approaches to savings, necessities, etc. It also discussed different approaches to use with your children--how to teach the value and respect of money. Realistically, it is going to take us YEARS to get out of debt--darn those student loans! What's so great about the class---it's a while new perspective of looking at debt and actually TACKLING the debt head on. It is very similar to the approach we use at the CU when we counsel members on their credit. Dave is also a Christian and relates his lessons to the scripture as well. Very interesting---I suggest you check it out.
