When Bruce and Brenda attended their first Financial Peace University class, they were going as moral support for another couple, not for themselves. They considered themselves pretty money smart already so they had no idea how great they’d benefit from the course, and the world it would open for them. But it did!
Six years ago at the beginning of their debt freedom journey, Bruce and Brenda had roughly $58,000 in consumer debt, from credit cards to car loans (and their “eight-thousand dollar blanket”), and they knew they had to get out from under it, and as soon as possible. In the first year of work, they’d already paid off $30,000, and after that, it was time to get even more creative and have some fun with it.
