00:00.340 --> 00:01.050
Uh huh .

00:05.340 --> 00:09.060
Alright , we're excited to graduated

00:09.060 --> 00:11.171
from the financial peace University .

00:11.171 --> 00:13.338
What a great program . No matter where

00:13.338 --> 00:15.750
you are , a new couple having a baby ,

00:16.140 --> 00:18.320
buying a new car , getting a new house

00:18.740 --> 00:20.500
or you're somebody who's been

00:20.510 --> 00:22.677
financially stable for a few years and

00:22.677 --> 00:24.843
just trying to tighten things up . You

00:24.843 --> 00:26.621
should go through the financial

00:26.740 --> 00:29.700
university classes for military , for

00:29.700 --> 00:32.750
us , really started back and has a few

00:32.750 --> 00:35.390
days , uh , had student loan debt ,

00:35.400 --> 00:37.640
other debt , credit card debt . But I

00:37.640 --> 00:40.240
heard a gentleman talking on the radio

00:40.240 --> 00:42.450
and interesting . We started looking

00:42.460 --> 00:44.627
deeper into the baby steps and what we

00:44.627 --> 00:46.960
could do to straighten out our finances .

00:46.960 --> 00:49.970
All the point we're after becoming a

00:49.980 --> 00:52.120
captain 20 something . Years later in

00:52.120 --> 00:54.710
the military , we learned that you can

00:54.710 --> 00:57.900
actually take this course of free with

00:57.910 --> 01:00.910
other military members and get your

01:00.920 --> 01:03.031
finances in order . And now I have to

01:03.031 --> 01:05.087
say we're really close to the finish

01:05.087 --> 01:07.087
line . In theory , you should never

01:07.087 --> 01:09.290
stop addressing a plan and having a

01:09.300 --> 01:11.189
plan . If you really want to stay

01:11.189 --> 01:13.560
financially stable and at peace free .

01:14.240 --> 01:16.518
I think it has been a great experience .

01:16.518 --> 01:18.740
We actually involved are girls in the

01:18.740 --> 01:21.560
planning process and helping to pay off

01:21.570 --> 01:24.870
the mortgage and just kind of having a

01:24.870 --> 01:28.820
more family event of them contributing .

01:28.820 --> 01:30.542
So teaching them the financial

01:30.542 --> 01:33.130
responsibility as well , and also doing

01:33.130 --> 01:35.500
it with other couples really helps you

01:35.500 --> 01:37.667
seal the deal . So you don't feel like

01:37.667 --> 01:39.778
you are , I guess , deprived that now

01:39.778 --> 01:41.667
all of a sudden you are not doing

01:41.667 --> 01:43.889
certain things that you used to doing .

01:43.889 --> 01:45.889
Gives it more of a normal see right

01:45.889 --> 01:48.600
that other . You have a support group

01:48.610 --> 01:50.277
that you're going through and

01:50.277 --> 01:52.940
discussing the issues and how are they

01:52.940 --> 01:54.884
saving money and how you're saving

01:54.884 --> 01:56.990
money . It's okay , right ? And it's

01:56.990 --> 01:59.270
nice to share those milestones and

01:59.270 --> 02:01.492
celebrate that She months together . So

02:01.492 --> 02:03.890
it was a great , great experience , and

02:03.890 --> 02:06.290
we're just thankful to have been part

02:06.290 --> 02:09.410
of it . Yeah , then I'll just say no

02:09.410 --> 02:11.750
matter where you are . Once again , if

02:11.750 --> 02:13.861
you get the opportunity to go through

02:13.861 --> 02:15.806
this for free with counselors with

02:15.806 --> 02:17.861
people who can guide you , there's a

02:17.861 --> 02:20.028
lot of things that you can pick out of

02:20.028 --> 02:22.194
everything from having a simple budget

02:22.194 --> 02:23.917
how to live today a little bit

02:23.917 --> 02:26.083
differently than maybe you thought you

02:26.083 --> 02:28.306
should . Then you can really enjoy life

02:28.306 --> 02:30.417
and live like you want to live as you

02:30.417 --> 02:32.560
grow old
