Financial Peace University - Part 6 and 7

Tonight's class was separate, but a logical extension of last week's class. The lessons? Avoid purposefully buying (or getting talked into) things you don't need. That's applicable to cars, boats, houses and insurance. So many of the products and services we buy every day are strategically marketed to us. Some marketing tactics are obvious, while others are far more sinister. Great salesmen are so crafty, that we're often taken for a ride and don't event realize it. Sometimes, we're even happy about the 'deal'.

I'm certain that I'll need to run through the CD's again, and read through our workbook so that these golden nuggets of knowledge make their way down deep into my heart. There is so much information, it's like taking a drink from a garden hose.

Knowledge is power.

We're so thankful for the metamorphosis that's taking place inside of us. With each passing lesson, hidden schemes are coming to light and sophisticated marketing ploys are being exposed. We're beginning to think differently about our relationship with money and wealth building. It's exciting to know that we're also imparting this wisdom into the lives of our children, so that they're armed as they launch into adulthood.

Proverbs 22:6-7 (New International Version)

6 Start children off on the way they should go,
and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

7 The rich rule over the poor,
and the borrower is slave to the lender.

Good Night
