Time Sensitive! Free Access for Veterans - ACT NOW! Veterans Plan Become Financially Secure
Ramsey Solutions offers Financial Peace University for free to Veterans Nine-week course is free to up to 10,000 Veterans, now through Nov. 13, 2023
Leaving the military and adapting to civilian life comes with more than its fair share of challenges. And one of the biggest challenges for Veterans is personal finances. A recent study from Blue Star Families reports that 82% of working-age Veterans say they stress about money.
Between rising costs of living and the weight of credit cards and other debt, many Veterans are living paycheck to paycheck.
Ramsey Solutions, founded by personal finance expert Dave Ramsey, wants to help. In honor of Veterans Day, they want to serve 10,000 Veterans by offering them Financial Peace University (FPU) for free.
What is Financial Peace University? FPU is a nine-week class that Dave Ramsey created after his own story of going broke and fighting back from bankruptcy.
It teaches how to budget, pay off debt and invest wisely through easy-to-understand video lessons. Veterans will go through the class with a supportive group of people where they can talk openly about money. And together, they’ll discuss the lessons and encourage each other as they make progress toward their goals.
With FPU, Veterans also get tools and resources to help them manage their money. One of those tools is EveryDollar, a budgeting app designed to work alongside FPU. Veterans also get a year of unlimited group calls with Ramsey-trained financial coaches—plus, a free one-on-one session.
For over 30 years, Financial Peace University has helped millions of people—including thousands of Veterans—become debt-free and build wealth.
FPU’s impact on Veterans—Valarie’s story
Valarie Tomme is one of those Veterans. After leaving the Air Force, she was “working to live.” She was broke, with $125,000 in debt hanging over her—but no one knew how bad things were.
“I thought I was so strong, and I could do this all on my own. And I was too ashamed and embarrassed and prideful to think I was doing something wrong,” she said.
But then a friend convinced her and her husband to take FPU. The class not only made their marriage stronger, but it also got them excited to become debt-free. After nearly three years, that dream became a reality as they paid off a combined $205,000!
Now, Tomme hopes other Veterans follow in her footsteps.
“I would say to anybody to put your shame aside. Once you pay off that first small debt, there’s life. There’s a breath of fresh air. You have a little hope,” she added.
How Veterans can get FPU for free Veterans can sign up by going to ramseysolutions.com/veterans, where they’ll create an account and fill out a simple form. Ramsey Solutions is offering FPU free for up to 10,000 Veterans, now through Monday, Nov. 13.
