1
00:00:00,340 --> 00:00:01,050
Uh huh . 

2
00:00:05,340 --> 00:00:09,060
Alright , we're excited to graduated 

3
00:00:09,060 --> 00:00:11,171
from the financial peace University . 

4
00:00:11,171 --> 00:00:13,338
What a great program . No matter where 

5
00:00:13,338 --> 00:00:15,750
you are , a new couple having a baby , 

6
00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:18,320
buying a new car , getting a new house 

7
00:00:18,740 --> 00:00:20,500
or you're somebody who's been 

8
00:00:20,510 --> 00:00:22,677
financially stable for a few years and 

9
00:00:22,677 --> 00:00:24,843
just trying to tighten things up . You 

10
00:00:24,843 --> 00:00:26,621
should go through the financial 

11
00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:29,700
university classes for military , for 

12
00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:32,750
us , really started back and has a few 

13
00:00:32,750 --> 00:00:35,390
days , uh , had student loan debt , 

14
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,640
other debt , credit card debt . But I 

15
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,240
heard a gentleman talking on the radio 

16
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,450
and interesting . We started looking 

17
00:00:42,460 --> 00:00:44,627
deeper into the baby steps and what we 

18
00:00:44,627 --> 00:00:46,960
could do to straighten out our finances . 

19
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,970
All the point we're after becoming a 

20
00:00:49,980 --> 00:00:52,120
captain 20 something . Years later in 

21
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,710
the military , we learned that you can 

22
00:00:54,710 --> 00:00:57,900
actually take this course of free with 

23
00:00:57,910 --> 00:01:00,910
other military members and get your 

24
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,031
finances in order . And now I have to 

25
00:01:03,031 --> 00:01:05,087
say we're really close to the finish 

26
00:01:05,087 --> 00:01:07,087
line . In theory , you should never 

27
00:01:07,087 --> 00:01:09,290
stop addressing a plan and having a 

28
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:11,189
plan . If you really want to stay 

29
00:01:11,189 --> 00:01:13,560
financially stable and at peace free . 

30
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,518
I think it has been a great experience . 

31
00:01:16,518 --> 00:01:18,740
We actually involved are girls in the 

32
00:01:18,740 --> 00:01:21,560
planning process and helping to pay off 

33
00:01:21,570 --> 00:01:24,870
the mortgage and just kind of having a 

34
00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:28,820
more family event of them contributing . 

35
00:01:28,820 --> 00:01:30,542
So teaching them the financial 

36
00:01:30,542 --> 00:01:33,130
responsibility as well , and also doing 

37
00:01:33,130 --> 00:01:35,500
it with other couples really helps you 

38
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:37,667
seal the deal . So you don't feel like 

39
00:01:37,667 --> 00:01:39,778
you are , I guess , deprived that now 

40
00:01:39,778 --> 00:01:41,667
all of a sudden you are not doing 

41
00:01:41,667 --> 00:01:43,889
certain things that you used to doing . 

42
00:01:43,889 --> 00:01:45,889
Gives it more of a normal see right 

43
00:01:45,889 --> 00:01:48,600
that other . You have a support group 

44
00:01:48,610 --> 00:01:50,277
that you're going through and 

45
00:01:50,277 --> 00:01:52,940
discussing the issues and how are they 

46
00:01:52,940 --> 00:01:54,884
saving money and how you're saving 

47
00:01:54,884 --> 00:01:56,990
money . It's okay , right ? And it's 

48
00:01:56,990 --> 00:01:59,270
nice to share those milestones and 

49
00:01:59,270 --> 00:02:01,492
celebrate that She months together . So 

50
00:02:01,492 --> 00:02:03,890
it was a great , great experience , and 

51
00:02:03,890 --> 00:02:06,290
we're just thankful to have been part 

52
00:02:06,290 --> 00:02:09,410
of it . Yeah , then I'll just say no 

53
00:02:09,410 --> 00:02:11,750
matter where you are . Once again , if 

54
00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:13,861
you get the opportunity to go through 

55
00:02:13,861 --> 00:02:15,806
this for free with counselors with 

56
00:02:15,806 --> 00:02:17,861
people who can guide you , there's a 

57
00:02:17,861 --> 00:02:20,028
lot of things that you can pick out of 

58
00:02:20,028 --> 00:02:22,194
everything from having a simple budget 

59
00:02:22,194 --> 00:02:23,917
how to live today a little bit 

60
00:02:23,917 --> 00:02:26,083
differently than maybe you thought you 

61
00:02:26,083 --> 00:02:28,306
should . Then you can really enjoy life 

62
00:02:28,306 --> 00:02:30,417
and live like you want to live as you 

63
00:02:30,417 --> 00:02:32,560
grow old
