![]() ![]() We still had to get our official Financial Peace University kit. Signing up simply meant putting in a reservation for us to take part in this particular class. ![]() I went online and signed up for the class. We had to weigh the decision carefully we already had one night a week tied up with a small group activity from our church, and she was planning on taking a class on another evening.Īfter quite a bit of discussion, we decided it was a commitment we were willing to make. ![]() I immediately called my wife at work to ask her if she was interested in 13 weeks, every Monday night, from February through the beginning of May. Last fall, I learned the course was going to be offered at a local church in the spring. Decisions, Decisions: Making the Commitment With two teenagers and busy lives, we just never felt as though we could commit to a two-to-three hour class, one night a week-that is, until this year.

In fact, my wife and I have literally given away dozens of copies of his book, The Total Money Makeover, to friends and family members. I’ve listened to what is now called The Dave Ramsey Show TM whenever possible, and have read most of his books. So, despite knowing better, we continued to make stupid mistakes with our money. I was able to grasp the “head knowledge,” but never convert it to “heart knowledge.” Even then, while I enjoyed listening, I was not financially mature enough to really grasp what he was teaching. I first heard his radio show more than ten years ago when it was called The Money Game. Let me start by saying I’ve been a huge fan of Dave Ramsey’s financial teachings for many years. It encourages participants to take charge of their finances by making sound decisions now that will lead to long-term financial stability.
