Financial Peace Graduation!

It has been really interesting how things have turned out. About 13 weeks ago, my parents started this "Dave Ramsey" class. The class was going to be every Monday from 7-8:30ish. They asked me if I wanted to be in the class and, to be honest, back then it was the last thing I wanted to do. Then a week later, as you know, I got my job at Dave Ramsey working with the Online Web site My Total Money Makeover. I learned a lot about money, debt and credit. I also learned about this Financial Peace Universitystop being normal and get out of debt!


Well two days ago (Monday) my parents graduated from FPU and I was told by the FPU coordinator that if I wanted to come, I could. And of course I wanted to see my parents go through the last class and receive their certificates. After the class was over, the coordinator asked each couple what they had learned during this course. This was when it hit me. Even after hearing countless calls on the radio, reading countless posts on the My Total Money Makeover Community Forums about people being in debt, working Dave's plan and getting real results, there was nothing more convincing than sitting in a room with 10 or 15 couples (grown adults) talk about problems that they had with money and how Dave's plan was really working for them. Couples talked about how the class not only helped them with their money problems, but also helped them with communication. It was truly amazing to see. Real life. Real pPeople. Real results. Dave's message gave hope to people, and you could tell by the way they spoke.


I think this hit me because I am glad to know that I do work that matters. I do work that matters. Debt can be one of the most stressful things a person can deal with, and it's good to know that there is an institution out there fighting every day for people just like you and me, and revealing to them the truth about debt.


I am fortunate to be as young as I am. I can start the plan early by saving, investing and giving. And before you know it, I will be a millionaire.
