The coordinators from the class that we went through were newly married when they went through FPU. He bought her a BMW as a wedding gift. During the class they sold it and got her a Kia. - Linduck
Idea
In trying to keep up gazelle intensity (and helping make it easy for people to not have excuses!) we did a GROUP GARAGE SALE and it was not only helpful to the families that participated, but SO MUCH FUN! We used our church property and tables and UNLOADED some STUFF to pay off debt!! Another plus was that people wanted to know who we were and WHY were we doing this?!?! Great opportunity to share FPU with a stranger in the community! - hdwilliams65
Testimonial
I wanted to start FPU after using Dave's principles from his book Financial Peace. As we started seeing changes in our lives, we wanted to share it with others. Basically, I CAN'T stop talking about Dave Ramsey and being debt-free! My brother is on board now and has since gotten a better job. My sister is as well and paid cash for her current car. My husband and I have all debt paid but our house and we refinanced it for 10 years. We owe about 8 more years. Our snowball has slowed, though, due to a wedding this spring (paid cash) and second daughter starting to college in the fall. We just paid cash for a 5-year-old van. Our family tree is definitely changing!
My 24-year-old daughter and her husband have shaved their heads and drunk the Kool-Aid! She is the most motivated of our first class. She is anticipating the day when she can share with our congregation that they are debt free! They paid cash for both of their vehicles and live by their budget. She had checks stolen about a month ago, and she said having her emergency fund turned a potential crisis into merely a nuisance. - Gritsy
