How to Attend Financial Peace University

Financial Peace University is a financial counseling and training program based on Dave Ramsey's financial advice.

Instructions

1. Locate a class. Look for information about class locations on Dave Ramsey's website.

2. Register through the web site or by contacting your local Financial Peace University coordinator to learn the next session start date. You can purchase your class materials through your local coordinator or from Dave Ramsey's website.

3. Bring your spouse or financial partner to the class. It is important to attend Financial Peace University together so that you can set goals and discuss your money as a team.

4. Do your class homework. Read the Financial Peace Revisited book chapters as assigned. Make a zero-based budget as instructed; tweaking it as necessary.

5. Budget every month while you are in class. The habits learned at Financial Peace University carry over after the class is finished. Get on track while you have the support system in place.
