  • "We didn't accumulate our debt overnight and we knew we couldn't erase it overnight either. Each FPU lesson offered us hope and real tools to start chipping away at that debt. By the end of the class we had eliminated nearly $5,000.00 in debt and we continue to gain more financial freedom with each passing week. THANK YOU CHACO ... for offering Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University to your members and the community!"

  • FPU changed the whole way Chad and I treated our money, and we view our income totally different now. Chad went back to school this year full time, so we had to work with one income and the same amount of bills. We used to spend money without really thinking of our long term goals...we would just think "Oh it will work out somehow!". But now we have a plan in place, with concrete numbers to back it up. We cleaned out our decent amount of savings and paid off ALL of our credit cards. Surprisingly, I feel more secure with NO CC debt and LESS savings (for now of course!). Now all we have is one car loan which we are debt snowballing and student loan debt, which can be paid off easily (and mortgage). I would highly recommend this course for anyone who is ready to change the way they think about money and life in general!! Less fighting about money and things, and more communication and working together! Thank you for offering this program and thank you CHACO for encouraging the course!"

  • "Because of this class, I have paid off all debt except for my home and student loans. In total I was able to pay off over $15,000 in 9 short months by living the motto "Live like no one else, so later you CAN live like no one else." It was tough at times, but I was not willing to give up. I don't lie awake at night anymore worrying about finances."

  • "My big regret is that I didn't "understand" this information when I was younger. I "knew" it in principle, but couldn't figure out how to implement it on my own. The $1000 starter emergency fund is definitely the way to go - I never would have thought of that on my own. It gives immediate relief and makes you feel like you can accomplish anything! The cash flow system of allocating dollars to future paychecks is ingenious. You get to tell your money where to go, rather than wondering every month where your money went!!!Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?"
