Happy to finally take FPU lessons instead of being Dave-ish

It was wonderful for my wife and I to finally get serious about taking the Baby Steps approach to tackling our debt, and we are thankful for the classes and groups that have helped hold us accountable and be aware of the habits that have kept us from attaining financial freedom. We became more aware of our monthly budget to make our money work for us towards our debt snowball. We decided to take a second look at our insurances, and have changed nearly all of our policies. We have finally drafted a will to incorporate once we have our new life insurance policies in place. We have stopped contributing to my 401(K) temporarily to get out of debt, and are aware of other changes we need to make to have a sound investing policy. And we now are looking forward to contribute to our daughters' college funds and pay off our mortgage early. We loved being able to bring our children for the free babysitting while we take the classes, as that is what finally got us to FPU!
Life changing.

I wish I was exposed to FPU right after high school. Instead I went ahead and got a degree in DUMB. Well, at least I have a method to get myself out of this financial mess and I can pass this knowledge along to my children and make that part of my legacy.

My husband and I took FPU last spring and the benefits went far beyond our finances. We looked so forward to our Tuesday night FPU “dates.” We began communicating better, dreaming together and got on the same page financially. Our facilitator was thoughtful and our group was supportive. We would recommend it for anyone in any Baby Step – even 7. There’s something for everyone to learn!

I always thought I could do the budget alone but with doing that I took on a burden I didn’t need and my anxiety would get ahold of me because I wasn’t achieving the things I thought I should so then Inwould spend more to soothe my soul. Going to the class with my husband and making it a goal to get out of debt together has been such a blessing mentally and spiritually for us.
Everything is different - from this point forward

Before:
single from divorce, scared, in debt, unsure how to save for college for children, unsure how to save for retirement, unsure how to have a conversation about budgeting with someone I am dating and considering a new life with.
After taking FPU with my boyfriend:
OUT of debt completely (I sold a lot of stuff and have hunkered down with debt snowball)
I feel financially secure with the right types of insurance choices I've made over the last two months, I have an emergency fund, I am starting to save for a down payment and I have a plan for my retirement and my children's college education. AND, the man I am dating and I are on the same page for budgeting and future planning. I feel so much better today than I did 12 weeks ago. Thank you FPU and Cornerstone!

This course has been absolutely life changing. My husband and I have a completely different outlook on finances and we realized that this can actually be fun! I am so excited for what our future holds and to change the life and legacy of our family.
Definitely a must do for everyone!

My husband and I are age group 55-70 and we absolutely loved this course and our best advise is, EVERYONE, especially young people need to take this course. I think it should be in every schools curriculum. if young kids would know this, it would get them started in the right direction, not just financially but in life.
Thank you Dave for having to go through what you and your wife went through in your life so that God gave you the calling to help others through this course.
A Game-Changer Paradigm Shift

Once you attend FPU you realize this is a game-changer for your family tree! I was supported every step of the way with like minded people wanting to change their family tree by getting out of debt. I would recommend this course for my adult child and friends. Finally, the FPU website was user-friendly and accessible.

My wife and I have been going through this now for three months and it has completely changed the way we think about money. It has brought us closer together and turned financial stewardship into a blessing vs a burden or chore!
Thank you to all at FPU and with Dave Ramsey.

My husband and I were never horrible with money and didn't have debt, so we didn't feel like we needed to take the class. My sister recommended it to us for several years before we finally took the class at our church. We wish we had taken it sooner! We learned so much and even though we didn't have debt we didn't really have any extra money and by taking the class we found money that we didn't know we had and were you able to start a savings account and so many other things. We now lead the Financial Peace University class for our church!

I believe most people feel they have a good understanding of money and how to handle it. Not even close. This has help us get such focus and understanding of our needs. It has given us a plan and a budget. It feels like We are moving like an old gazelle. But in reality we are blowing it out. With the intense focus your constantly waiting for the next step, the next income of money, so you can attack the debt snowball. Thanks Financial Peace University. Thanks Tim G.
Great class, life-altering, but...

FPU has changed my life and the lives of my wife and kids and for that I will forever be grateful. But I was under the impression the membership I signed up for was a lifetime one. Then I sign in to find out it has changed to a annual membership. I doesn't tarnish the knowledge inherent in the system itself, but leaves a slightly bitter taste in my mouth.
Awesome class that will shape our future

After reading Total Money Makeover, we decided this would be a good class. Even with it almost being a mirror of the book, it was nice to have group discussions and access to the website.

I’m excited to pay bills now, to open the mail that says “Final Notice,” because I can pay it down. I will pay it down by next year!
My only addendum is that some of the language is demeaning. I’m a young, single woman and heard several times that I was liable to be wild, unstructured, and money-ignorant; my gender does not define my problems. After the first three classes or so, it was more positive and supportive to everyone, not just married men.
