So here we are. Once again on FPU Eve. I may be the only one up at 10:30 thinking and preparing for tomorrow, but this I do know this for sure. Many of the people who will come to class over the next two days are really wondering what the heck they signed up for. Perhaps you are thinking to yourself, "I will come to the first class, and if it's any good, then I might come back."
If you feel that way you are certainly not alone. Most people don't want to discuss their finances. The best part is you don't have to discuss anything. What you will have to do however if you want this class to work for you is this. You must look at the man/woman in the mirror and face reality. Reality is this. All of your combined financial decisions have brought you to where you are today. Like it or not, it didn't happen over night and it certainly won't go away that fast either. The next 13 weeks could save your marriage. It could save your home. It could give you hope. It could improve your most important relationships. It could give you a plan. It could provide retirement. It could help you prepare for your children's college. It could change your family tree.
It "could" be all of that and much more. But one thing is for certain. Just as in the game of life that we play every day, in FPU ... You must be present to win! See you in class

We want to win, Alex. Thank you for taking the time for this ministry and for bringing this to us. My husband and I are very optimistic and can't wait to start our homework tonight. Changing bad habits can be difficult, but it all begins with that first step - so can we dive in?
God Bless and good luck to us all!
It is totally worth sticking out the 13 weeks. What is the alternative?

Change is hard but living with regret is harder. FPU works if you work it, so work it! Besides, the class is totally fun and Alex and Stacey are great facilitators.
I learned a lot about myself by taking FPU. I hope to see all of you at the next graduation.
Thirteen weeks isn't long at all! It's a great time of learning, inspiration, and encouragement! We met a lot of wonderful people, all of whom were focused on the same goal, during our class. We miss the fellowship and camaraderie! The class is totally worth it!
