FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY PROVIDES HOPE TO FAMILIES IN JOAQUIN AND SURROUNDING AREAS

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — More than 2.5 million families have positively changed
their financial future through Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University
(FPU). The nine-week course provides families and individuals with
practical tools to gain control of their finances and set themselves up for
long-term financial success. The course meets once a week where a different
lesson is taught by Dave on DVD followed by a small-group discussion.
Lessons include budgeting, relationships and money, getting out of debt,
saving for emergencies and investing. FPU will be held in *Joaquin at:*

   - *Joaquin High School located at 11109 Highway 84 East in Joaquin. The
   classes will begin Thursday, February 12, 2015 at 6:00 P.M. Contact Donna
   Vergo for more information or to register.*

Through common-sense principles and small-group accountability, FPU gives
people the tools they need to change their behavior and succeed
financially. On average families who complete FPU pay off $5,300 and save
$2,700 in the first 90 days. Following the class nearly 94 percent of those
families budget regularly.

“FPU will not only transform the way you handle money, but also your
marriage and other areas of your life,” says Ramsey. “This isn’t a boring
financial class. We make learning about money fun and easy to understand so
people in every situation can benefit from the information.”

Ramsey knows first-hand the pain that financial stress can cause. After
creating a net worth of more than a million dollars by age 26, he quickly
lost it all. Since then Ramsey has helped families and individuals across
the country learn how to get control of their finances and avoid debt so
they don’t have to experience the same pain he did.

FPU lessons also include guest speakers Rachel Cruze, speaker and daughter
of Dave Ramsey, and Chris Hogan, counselor and speaker for the Dave Ramsey
organization.

After purchasing a membership each participant receives a workbook, Dave
Ramsey’s *Complete Guide to Money*, an envelope system and an audio CD
library. Participants will also have access to budgeting forms and MP3s of
all the lessons. For more information or to purchase a membership, go to
