                                                                                      In fact, the average FPU graduate is debt-free in two years or less!

Financial Peace University (FPU) is built around the Ramsey

Financial Peace University is way more than just learning how to budget and get out of debt. Although both of those are highly important.

You get 1 year access to all nine video lessons, a fully editable digital workbook, a hardcopy workbook, access to EveryDollar Premium budgeting app and more.

Once a week for nine weeks, you’ll watch an online video lesson at home (each one is about an hour long). Then we will meet online via zoom for about 45 minutes to 1 hour and a FPU Coordinator will lead discussions and activities that drive each lesson home.
