To ease my anxiety about our new loans, we took the Financial Peace University home course and it changed how we thought about debt. From what we learned in the course, we wrote our Debt Freedom Plan. Our 2019 Financial Goal. We can now move on to other financial goals. 1st Update in June 2014.

We consider her our “bonus kid” and our family is extremely close. A few years back, I hit my all-time high by borrowing 126 books over the course of one year. I learned from the best, but I believe that a personal finance course should be a requirement for both high school and college graduation. Our son is 29 and biological.

Personally, budgeting has allowed us to control of our money, reach financial goals, and start planning for our dream life. I discovered the term, Zero-Based Budget, when my husband and I took Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University home course many years ago. Join my private Facebook group: Family Budgeters Unite!

Learning how to save money from your salary without sacrificing your lifestyle is a skill worthy of an entire course subject in the most prestigious of schools. I look for coupons and deals that are specific to the brand my family likes, and then I buy in bulk. My family chooses to eat out once per week, for example.

For these men, the problem is that, to them, image is important — more important even than being financially secure. And, of course, the wedding, the house, the clothes, the car, and other trappings are all indications of how much money they have. Neither of these men is what most of us would call “poor.”
