I thought I would really be bored out of my skull on this one even tho I knew that I needed to really pay attention. I think I even skipped over it when I came to it in the book.

The one thing I do like about DR is how often he tells you to check things out for yourself & to learn, to read and not to just take his word for it. He's not on a pedestal that you'd like to reach up & pull him down. He makes me want to strive for more.

Our class size seems to be dwindling down. It was only 4 of us (including facilitator) & one person was late, missing a good portion of the video.

The videos are probably my favorite part of the class. I find myself laughing out loud often. So it's very entertaining & informative. I really love how he speaks about his family with respect & love but he's still real.

I told the facilitator last week that I was already wanting to take this again after the holidays. So, Tuesday she mentioned to me that her church wants her to do it again starting soon after our class is over in Dec. She had only planned on doing it every Fall. So if she gets enough interest, she'll start another one. I may go to it to help out or I just may find another one. Either way, I'm terribly excited.

I'm way off track since all the recent expenses I've had but that's ok. I know I'll get back once I replace my bEF. I'm just thankful that I had that money in the bank for these emergencies. :rollsmile

Thanks for sharing, Debora. DH and I are planning on taking FPU the next time it's offered in our area.

Thanks for the post. I don't know anything about investments. I should start to educate myself. I'm just struggling to get past BS2 first. It seems like it takes forever!

Taking the class is definitely worth it. I know when I do get out of BS2 that I'll have to educate myself more but at least I understand a little bit.

Amanda, when you take the class you'll have to do updates, too. I'll probably still be taking a class then. ha ha ha
