A Testimony from a Financial Peace University participant
Financial Peace University (FPU) has truly changed our lives. Before participating in FPU we were $107,000 in dept and constantly digging ourselves deeper. Our only financial emergency funds were contingent upon which credit card had funds available. We were unaware of the 30 years of bad habits ingrained in our lives and being passed along to our children. We had accepted a mentality completely convinced that having debt was simply a part of life and never considered that it was possible not to have debt as a middle income family.
In 2005 one of our children who recognized that we were constantly financially struggling suggested we “look into Financial Peace University”. September 2005 we enrolled in the 13 week course. Immediately we were introduced to truths completely contrary to our fiscal beliefs. When we were introduced in week three to planning our flow of cash by budgeting through spending our money on paper before the month began, something was triggered that set us on the path to a new way of life! I know, without question, that were it not for the truths, principles, and accountability we experienced through Financial Peace University our $107,000 would be considerably higher today and we would, in today’s economy, be in financial ruin!
Literally saving for emergencies, major purchases, and building wealth changed our lives in such a profound manner that in 2009 we became debt free! Today I am completely retired from working and my wife Cynthia walked away from her job of 15 years to enjoy a life of volunteerism serving others! We stand as examples of what any family or individual can accomplish who seriously adheres to this great program. I encourage you to come to this program’s Free Preview this Sunday as well as the first lesson entitled “Super Saving”, that we also offer absolutely free! Do you want to look back on 2011 as a year your family legacy changed? If so, this is your opportunity!
Financial Peace University is a life-changing program that teaches you how to make the right decisions with your money. You’ll be empowered with practical skills and the confidence needed to achieve your financial goals and experience true financial peace! Community is offering two sessions in January:
