This week we had a couple over to 'introduce' them to Dave Ramsey (DR). We were really excited for the opportunity (not to mention a bit nervous) because it was our first time doing this. Sure, we've been members of two Financial Peace University (FPU) classes, but we've never been the leaders - so this was new ground. We discussed what were the main points we wanted to hit and discovered it was really hard to narrow it down because we truly feel that ALL of DR's teachings are important. We did, however, finally decide on a format for our evening of teaching:
- We watched the intro video to the FPU video series, which introduces the 7 "baby steps"
- After the video was finished we told them how we were introduced to DR
- We talked about some finance forms (Quick Start Budget and Debt Snowball)
- At the end of the night we gave them their own brand new copy of Total Money Makeover to help them on their debt free journey
Before the night ever began we wrote a note in the book that read "This book changed our lives and we hope it helps you too". As cheesy at that sounds...it's completely true. For anyone out there on the verge of reading a DR book - DO IT. You won't regret it.
We love this book so much that we actually want to give some of YOU copies in the future...so be on the lookout for that!

Rachel and Derek, y’all were wonderful hosts! The video and discussion really got us excited about the program and Total Money Makeover has been a great read so far… like Dave Ramsey says such simple concepts that we somehow fail to implement. Anyway, we made a starter budget and things are going smoothly. You two will make awesome leaders of the program one day! Thanks again.
