This Week's Assignment, etc.
Dumping Debt teaches how to get out of debt and stay out of debt.

What a simple, straightforward, and DIFFICULT lesson this one was! Here we see clearly how personal finance is 20% knowledge and 80% behavior.

This Week's Homework:

  1. Read Chapters 7 and 8 in Financial Peace Revisited
  2. Complete Sheets 5 (monthly cash flow plan) and 7 (allocated spending plan) for . Bring your sheets with you to class - we will discuss these
  3. Commit to yourself and/or your spouse that you will QUIT BORROWING MONEY NEEDLESSLY - NOW! This is the first and most important step to dumping debt. In next week's class, we'll talk more about this. Let's be BOLD in our commitment to making debt reduction a high priority!

Keep in mind this week the six keys to dumping debt. Don't forget, gazelle-like INTENSITY is important - get ANGRY at the debt if that works best for you. FEAR it, so that you run in the opposite direction! ATTACK your debt as if your life depended on it - your financial security DOES!
