As I approached this class, I was feeling insecure, scared, and unmotivated.  I was feeling all of those things about finances.  However, I was feeling motivated, hopeful, and fearless when it came to my marriage.  I truly believed that this class was going to help my marriage.  Hoping for that peace that would come from taking this class was my motivation.  Little did I know that after the 9 weeks was over, I would be so thankful that I faced my fears and insecurities about finances.

This first class was SO simple, yet very profound.  It laid the entire foundation of the program.  The first lesson helped me to see just how simple it could be.  I am NOT saying that implementing these steps was easy, I am just stating how encouraging it was for me to lay out the steps to success in this area of life.  You need to go to http://www.daveramsey.com/home/ to find out more so that you too can learn the seven baby steps!  My biggest take away from this lesson was that my every day daily decisions make a great impact on my ability to have financial peace.

(just a side note here, I am NOT being paid by Daveramsey.com for this blog, these are just my opinions based on my experiences taking this amazing class! They did gift me six months of their financial software program, but that was just because I begged…yes, I humbly admit that I begged because I love the program SO much and we had not budgeted for this program yet…so, I now have six months to figure out how to budget the cost of the optional software that daveramsey offers.)  (-:
