Financial Peace University

If you've heard of Dave Ramsey, then you know about his Financial Peace University. Robert and I are currently taking this 13-week course through our church. It has a lot of common sense practices, that unfortunately, many of us are not following. People don't plan to fail, they just fail to plan. As much I we hate to admit, we are in the same boat as many others today, but we have realized that we must do something about it now, or things won't change.

Dave Ramsey also has a TV talk show on Fox News Business channel, and he talks for real, doesn't pull any punches, he just tells it like it is . . . that's the kind of person I like.

The First Presidential Debate

We were invited to a small group gathering to watch the debates courtesy of 5th Ward Council rep Chas Kelly. There was a good turnout for a home gathering, with lots of passion amidst the attenders. A Press Enterprise reporter was there also to document the event.

During the hour and a half debate, there was lot of chatter among the watchers, some more vocal than others. Chas mentioned at the start that we all needed to be respectful of each others' opinions, so, you know how that goes, there was a bit of controversial comments made.

Afterwards, Chas rounded up everyone for an open discussion on the debate session. Note that there was a republican-leaning on the attenders, although the democrats were there, which makes for an even more debating arena.

Other officials present were 3rd Ward rep Tobin Brinker and family and local community participant Tim Prince, who is running for Congress.

So we had a good open discussion, from senior citizens to the youth of our community. The main concensus was we did not hear much to change our minds--if we came in for favoring one candidate, we still felt the same.

Chas wanted to know if the group was up for the same type of event for the remaining debate sessions, as well as the VP debates, next time we will be meeting at Jersey's Pizza Parlor, a bigger, and cooler place, to be, as well as putting our monies into the local community.
