Dave Ramsey web site info

From Scott's email:
-------------------------------
Everyone with a computer has access to Daveramsey.com.
Our FPU class# is 134246. This special number allows our class members access to the MRC (Member Resource Center). The first time you login you will need to pick out a login user name and password. Those of you in the class who do not have a workbook can print any form or letter that is in the worbook from this site. I have only been in the site one time myself but it looks to have a lot of content and links to financial sites. You should check it out weekly as I believe they have the highlights of each lesson. (remember we are splitting the sessions in two so Dave may be a little ahead of us!) The Dave Ramsey site is available at any time, but the MRC is available to us only about 15 weeks...till sometime in mid-January. Please take the time to be pro-active and check out the site every week or so. Remember we must break old habits to gain control over our money. Knowledge is 20 percent of the Dave Ramsey system. Eighty per cent of the system is changing your behavior with your money.

Like I said before I think we will all learn more if we become pro-active and interact with the Dave Ramsey site and actually try some of what Dave says. Soooo, I would like it if every family could prepare a budget using Dave's forms (in workbook or on the site). Also I think each family should write down a goal to either pay off a debt or save some money for some purchase or puchases (Christmas fund??..). I will never ask to see your budgets or ask how much debt you are in or how much is in your savings account. My only concern is that we all try Dave's ideas and attempt to alter our financial behaviors in a positive way. So think about it, discuss it at home and let's do it! I may ask the class from time to time how you are doing. Dave recommends sharing little victories if you have one (paid off a debt, or your emergency fund is now complete...).

Now back to Kurt
Thanks all for your participation so far in the Dave Ramsey series. Please take a couple minutes to go to the website and look around if you can. Please try to have your quick budget ready to go for Sunday as I think we'll be referencing those sheets.

See you Sunday!
