    Financial Peace University (FPU), the 13-week program taught by Dave Ramsey, has helped more than 750,000 families positively change their financial future. This life-changing program teaches families and individuals how to handle their money through common-sense principles and small group accountability.
    FPU is available for churches, companies, military bases, financial literacy programs, Spanish speaking organizations and community groups. FPU classes will be held in Hodgdon at: Hodgdon Baptist Church located at 846 Calais Road in Hodgdon. The classes began Tuesday, Aug. 25 and will continue for the next 12 weeks.    
    Ramsey began teaching FPU classes in 1994 every night around Nashville, Tenn. In 1997, FPU was made available on video across the country with thousands of classes around the nation today.
    The program is made up of 13 life-changing lessons taught by Ramsey on DVD in a fun and entertaining way.
    After each lesson, the group meets to help each other plan budgets, discuss successes and temptations and support each other in their journey to beat debt and build wealth. Topics covered include: saving for emergencies, budgeting, relationship and money issues, buying big bargains, getting out of debt, understanding investments, understanding insurance, retirement and college planning, buyer beware, real estate mortgages, careers and extra jobs.
    Ramsey is a personal money management expert, an extremely popular national radio personality and best-selling author of “The Total Money Makeover.” In his latest book, a follow-up of his enormously successful New York Times best-sellers “Financial Peace” and “More Than Enough,” Ramsey exemplifies his life’s work of teaching others how to be financially responsible, so they can acquire enough wealth to take care of loved ones, live prosperously into old age and give generously to others.
