We just completed the Dumping Debt lesson in our Financial Peace Universityкомпютри втора употреба class. Things are going very well. I am excited that everyone is excited about these lessons. I absolutely love the new material that the new kits include. Same great information but just better.

Every time I watch the Dumping Debt lesson I get motivated and inspired. This being the second time taking the FPU coarse I wish I could say we are farther along than we truly are. But I have to keep reminding myself that we are still taking steps forward. They may be very small steps but a least they are steps forward. If we keep moving forward we are bound to reach our destination.

This doesn’t mean I want it to take 100 years to reach our destination. I don’t expect it to take more than a couple of years but I wish we could have been able to shout, “We’re Debt FREE!”, at the start of the FPU classes we are coordinating now. But oh well! Sometimes the perseverance lesson is the best one of all.

What I love about Dave Ramsey and his team is that they keep up with technology. This time around we are able to use some great tools they have available in their online Members Resource Center. This resource center is available to all current FPU members including Online FPU members.

There is a Gazelle Budget online software that you can use now. With the Gazelle Budget you can enter all of your income and outgo information and print out your budget. It’s easy and very useful. They also have a Debt Snowball online that allows you to enter your debt information and determine how long it will take you to complete the debt snowball. There are also some other cool tools available like the millionaire calculator, buy vs. rent calculator and the investment calculator.

If you are struggling financial, think you have it all figured out or have no clue as to how to handle your money, Financial Peace University can and will help you if you are willing to really take action and change your future.

Financial Peace University - Coordinator News

As I have mentioned before, my husband and I are coordinating an FPU class at our church. The promotional material offered by FPU is great this time around. The last time we coordinated the FPU classes there was not that much to choose from in way of promotion. We are following the promotion suggestions offered on one of the CD we received.Their suggestions were very helpful in coordinating the classes.

They suggest that most churches should give a month for promotion before the preview. Here are the promotion time lime they recommend.

Week One

  • Get promo posters up
  • Printed promotional material added to church bulletins

Week Two

  • Keep filling church bulletins with printed promotional material.
  • Show a preview video during service.

Week Three

  • Show a longer Preview video with announcement

Week Four

  • Live testimony of someone who has gone through the course.

Week of Preview

  • Have the pastor or church leader announce his/her support of the class.

Don’t forget to promote class outside of church.

We showed the preview last Sunday and it went ok. We thought there would be more sign ups but we still have time to promote the class. FPU was a life changing course for us and we hope that others will be willing to be apart of it and learn how to manage their money better.

More information on Financial Peace University. Take the course. You won’t regret it.
