Some stuff is a bit repetitive but I understand why they do it. It's to really drive the concept home and make sure people remember these principles. I really enjoyed this book, I had it for so long, I can't believe it took me forever to read it. Definitely started my Total Money Makeover and I've been telling friends and family about this book as well, especially when someone starts talking about using credit for things. I actually cringe now, anytime someone says they're going to use credit. Definitely worth the read, I can't recommend this book enough. EVERYONE should read it!… (meer)

This contained quite a bit of cheese, but if you are willing to over look that. I can't recommend FPU enough. While the full class, I felt, was quite beneficial. Merely meeting other families in similar situations to us and discussing verbally was worth the cost of the FPU class. I felt like my time in the class was more beneficial if I listened the the "lessons" on CD before I went to class. If you aren't yet in a place where you can take the full class, borrowing these CDs from your library likely would be worth it too.

FPU remains me a lot of a 12-step program "Its simple, but its not easy" But getting direction on how to tell my money where to go, instead of wondering where it went, was surprisingly beneficial. I can't recommend enough.… (meer)
