Program teaches money handling

Financial Peace University, a 13-week program taught by Dave Ramsey, will be conducted at First Church of the Nazarene, 1307 Sixth Ave. S.E., Jamestown. Classes begin at 6 p.m. Feb. 22.

This program teaches families and individuals how to handle their money through common-sense principles and small group activity.

The program consists of working on a “Total Money Makeover” to help families pay off debt and save money.

Ramsey began teaching FPU classes in 1994. In 1997, FPU was made available on video across the country.

A free preview session for people who may be interested is at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

The program is made up of 13 lessons taught by Ramsey on DVD. After each lesson the group meets to plan budgets, discuss successes and temptations, and support each other in their journey to beat debt and build wealth.

Topics covered include: Saving for emergencies, budgeting, relationship and money issues, buying big bargains, getting out of debt, understanding investments and insurance, retirement and college planning, buyer beware, real estate mortgages, careers and extra jobs.

The cost of a participant’s kit is $89.95 for the participant’s kit, provided at a reduced price.

Included in the cost of the kit is a lifetime family membership to FPU, allowing the participant to return to any class at anytime for a refresher course. The kit also includes an FPU workbook, an FPU envelope system, 13 audio lessons, bonus CD, budgeting forms, debit card holders and Ramsey’s book, “Financial Peace.”
