INFORMATION GUIDE

WHAT IS FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY?Financial Peace University trains thousands of servicemembers every year with informative, video-driven lessons.

They are empowered to get their finances under control as FPU:

• Addresses all areas of personal finance including budgeting, paying off debt, giving, saving for emergencies, and building wealth for retirement.

• Provides the security of a sound financial plan during times of activation, deployment, TDY or PCS.

• Results in an average attendee payoff of $5,300 in debt and personal savings of $2,700, just during the course.

• Offers military bonus material on topics like the Thrift Savings Plan, the G.I. Bill, and the SGLI, SBP and DIC program.

FINANCIAL READINESS IS MISSION READINESSMoney stress is a serious distraction. It’s hard to concentrate on the mission at hand while wondering if all of the bills are going to get paid.

Financial difficulty is the number one reasonsailors lose their security clearance.

(Seapower, June 2006)

56% of enlisted military personnel report difficulty with their finances.

5 out of 10 are “in over their head” with their own expenses.

REPORTS FROM MILITARY PERSONNEL LIKE YOU

Rob Woodmansee, Lt. Colonel, U.S. Military

“Serving in the military is about taking care of your fellow soldiers. If you can’t focus your entire attention on your job because of other distractions, you’re not going to be ready to do what you need to do.”

Nancy Sheridan, Spouse, U.S. Military

“The greatest benefit of Financial Peace University for the deployed military member is the peace of knowing that, if the family’s finances are in order, he has something stable to come back home to.”

Scott Morris, Major, U.S. Military

“Financial readiness and mission readiness are directly related. If a soldier is distracted by financial problems, he isn’t as effective.”

Richard Schredl, Retired CW3, U.S. Military

“FPU is a great benefit for the military. Military members receive a lot of money, but they don’t know how to use it. They get themselves in trouble at home and then get deployed. When the family back home starts getting creditor calls, it affects the soldier’s ability to do his job.”

Dave Ramsey, a personal money management expert, is an extremely popular national radio personality and author of the New York Times best-sellers The Total Money Makeover, Financial Peace and More Than Enough. On October 15, 2007, Ramsey added television host to his title when The Dave Ramsey Show on The Fox Business Network debuted nationally. Ramsey knows first-hand what financial peace means —living a true rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches story. By age twenty-six he had established a four-million-dollar real estate portfolio, only to lose it by age thirty. He has since rebuilt his financial life and now devotes himself full time to helping ordinary people understand the forces behind their financial distress and how to set things right—financially, emotionally and spiritually. He resides with his wife Sharon and their three children in Nashville, TN.
