Financial Peace University Update (Session 10 and 11)

On Sunday afternoon, we had to combine sessions 10 and 11 of Financial Peace University due to the Mother's Day holiday this coming Sunday. Session 10 is on the topic of “From Fruition to Tuition.” Session 11 is on the topic of "Working In Your Strengths." Our class seemed to really enjoy Dave's teaching on session 11; it really is a great one!

Here's what Dave Ramsey's organization has to say about these tenth and eleventh sessions of FPU:

Week 10 - From Fruition to Tuition

Dave takes the confusion out of retirement investing. He teaches about the Roth IRA, how much to put into various plans (i.e. SEPP, 401k, 403b), and how to best fund our children's college education. There are many ways to save for college - the ESA, 529 Plan and the UTMA/UGMA Plans.

Key Points

1. Independence in retirement is up to you. Don't depend on Social Insecurity.
2. Fund college education only after you are funding your retirement.
3. If you don't have a will, get one TODAY!

Week 11 - Working In Your Strengths

In this lesson Dave teaches the importance of doing with our lives that which we love. Do you look forward to Monday? If not, how can you work toward that dream job that doesn't feel like a job at all?

Key Points

1. The average job in America is now 2.1 years in length.
2. The key to power in our careers is to first look at ourselves.
3. Plan your work around your life rather than planning your life around your work.
