What is FPU

We have found that Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University is the best tool we can offer our clients to help them manage their personal finances by eliminating debt, saving for the future, and giving like never before.

On average, families that complete the course pay off $5,300 in debt and save $2,700 in just 90 days. Goodwin Investment Advisory has a standing offer to reimburse any client who completes the course.

Taking baby steps

We believe obtaining financial peace requires a debt-free way of living with liquid emergency funds in the bank. If you don’t have financial peace, Dave Ramsey’s seven baby steps are a great way to get there!

  • 1. Save $1,000
  • 2. Debt Snowball
  • 3. Emergency Fund (3-6 months of expenses)
  • 4. Save 15% for retirement
  • 5. Save for college
  • 6. Pay off mortgage early
  • 7. Build wealth and give

Get started

Getting involved is a two step process. First visit FPU to join a class in your area. Next purchase a lifetime membership, which includes the course materials and allows you and your spouse the ability to attend an FPU class anytime, anywhere at no extra change. If you can’t find a class in your area, you can also study at home or join an online class; however we highly recommend taking the class in person. The class lasts about two hours and classes are usually once a week for 13 weeks.
