Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University is coming to Savvy Workshop!

Beginning Monday, September 13, 2010

Financial Peace University is a 13-session program that shows people how to apply time-proven, common-sense principles to eliminate debt and build wealth. Each informative, two-hour session addresses a different area of personal finance and includes a small group discussion where members share their progress and hold each other accountable. The average class size is 10-20 families.

People in every economic situation, “from the financially distressed to the financially secure”, have benefited from being involved in FPU.  You too, can become a part of that growing number learning to build financial security on time proven, common sense principles while becoming a blessing in the lives of others along the way.

About the Founder of FPU

Dave Ramsey, a personal money management expert, is an extremely popular national radio personality, author of the New York Times bestsellers The Total Money Makeover, Financial Peace and More Than Enough, and the founder of Financial Peace University. Ramsey knows first-hand what financial peace means in his own life—living a true rags-to-riches, back-to-rags, back-to-riches story. By age twenty-six he had established a four million-dollar real estate portfolio, only to lose it by age thirty. He has since rebuilt his financial life and now devotes himself full-time to helping ordinary people understand the forces behind their financial distress and how to set things right—financially, emotionally and spiritually. He resides with his wife, Sharon, and their three children in Nashville, Tennessee.

Mission Statement of Financial Peace University:

To empower and give HOPE to everyone from the financially secure to the financially distressed.

How will my community benefit from FPU?

• The average family that completes FPU pays off $5,300 in debt and saves $2,700

during the 13-week period. That’s an $8,000 total turnaround in just 91 days!

• Financial stress is reduced, providing a greater sense of peace in the home,

workplace and community.

• Couples begin to communicate about money, priorities, goals and more.

• Singles are empowered and encouraged to find accountability partners.

• Families are strengthened, as parents learn to teach their children how to handle

money responsibly at any age.

• Dave’s common-sense approach and entertaining presentation bring clarity to

important, but often overlooked, matters of personal finance.

• Class members become more generous with their time and money as the stress of

financial insecurity is lifted.

• New relationships are formed as the small group comes together to challenge

bad behaviors, support hurting families, encourage new beginnings, and

celebrate victories.

• The community will discover a safe harbor, where everyone can feel comfortable

being themselves, admitting their challenges, and revealing their weaknesses.
