They can't even imagine spending $100 on a class to learn about money. I think there are two reasons for that. One they are scared to death of change and what that might mean in their lives, and two when people think about learning about money they do not automatically assume that it will be interesting. I think they think of a monotone voice lecturing them about how to this and how to that. Dave Ramsey makes it fun and worth every single dollar. Common sense has never been so fun. Then as a bonus reason people will come to a blog like this that says you might have to sell your "fake image" with four wheels so that you can get ahead and the are like "OH NO I AINT!" There are people at my work that didn't think they needed a Total Money Makeover and probably wished at one time that I would just shut up about money and kill the "Dave Ramsey says" explanations, but now there are a few that are actually working it out. It is awesome when your example can lead people to change, even when it was unlikely at one time. I even started someone on Ebay. He loves it!! People only want to waste money on fun “stuff”.

Yet after finishing FPU Online I know I will recoup that small sum Many, Many , Many times over in time by using the teachings I've learned and putting them to practice in my life. It definitely works and the cost is a small price to pay. I agree Mikki, I was sort of hesitant to spend $ 100.00 on a online video course that teaches about spending.

When you spend a 100 on a shoe, coat, tv, video game, purse, football game ticket, ect 100 is a drop in the bucket. i really don't think a lot of people are convinced that a video class can do much for them but i am here to say it works!!
