I had not posted about Week 4 of FPU because I didn't really get all excited about it. Here's the Updates on FPU Weeks 4 and 5. Today, was Week 6, but Spouse is traveling so it's just me. Week 4: Buyer Beware *small group discussion* Question 2: What was the last ting that caused that Red-faced grocery store kid inside of you to wake up and scream, "I want ONE"? Did you give in? Spouse: I think it was the FIFA game that I bought. Ho5wever, I did wait for the price to go down before getting it. It's not so much that I had to have it as soon as it came out, but I did want it.

FPU Week 4. Dumping Debt. Spouse seemed to be all ears. I really do appreciate that SHE (I'm making an effort. LoL) seems to pay attention and not just playing on her phone or something like that. *Getting into small groups* Spouse: How many questions are there (to discuss)? Me: Just 2. Spouse: Yay! Question 1: What would you do if you were completely out of debt? Me: I would save for our FFEF and for a house, and retirement so that I can take care of my family... blah blah blah mushy stuff... Spouse: I want more money to trav

FPU Week 3 This is the class I had been waiting for! Cash Flow Planning (aka the Budget lesson) I was thinking that Spouse was REALLY going to be inspired to jump on board! Up until this point, Spouse wasn't very interactive with the videos and, when it came to group discussions, Spouse kept it short and sweet. Well, Spouse was finally laughing at DR's jokes and was nudging me to stand up when prompted. I was GLOWING in my seat! Group discussions start with the first question "... then share what you think about doing a zero-based budget." Spouse: She's doing

I was gung-ho and DH was going along to make me happy, but then he caught the "bug" too, and our conversations were forever changed in a great way, and we were finally able to talk about our money matters without arguing or blame-placing. We began to identify common financial goals and work together diligently on them. It changed our budgeting, our parenting, really our en

Week 2 of FPU: *watching DR talk about marriage and unity and BOTH of us contributing to the budget* DR: Free Spirits, raise your hand... Me: *looks over and nudges Spouse to participate* Spouse: I'm up! Me: Were you sleeping???!? Spouse: Not anymore. Was I snoring? Me: I hope you enjoyed your nap because we are going to watch the whole video again when we get home. Spouse: DR said you, "The Nerd" are controlling me, the "Free Spirit." You're right. This guy knows what he's talking about. LoL I don't even kno

Day 1 of FPU: I think I'm in for some kicking and screaming.... well, the adult version of it anyway. Classes are Saturday evenings. We were running errands prior to the class. Spouse: How long is it going to be? Me: About an hour and a half or so. Spouse: I thought you said it was only an hour! Me: I said the videos are an hour. *later* Spouse: Can we leave after the video? Me: No Spouse: Can I drink before we go? Me: Absolutely not. Spouse: Can I opt out? Me:
