Financial Peace University - Week 1 redo

We restarted FPU today. We decided to start at lesson one again because the new version is different than the version we were using before.

So now, the lessons are:
1. Super Savers - Done!
2. Relating with Money
3. Cash Flow Planning
4. Dumping Debt
5. Credit Sharks in Suits
6. Buyer Beware
7. Clause and Effect
8. That's not Good Enough!
9. Of Mice and Mutual Funds
10. From Fruition to Tuition
11. Working in Your Strengths
12. Real Estates and Mortgages
13. The Great Misunderstanding

We finished the Quickie Budget (opens as a PDF) and the discussion questions. If Marty feels better this evening, we are going to do lesson two. We plan to do lesson three tomorrow before he goes to work. Then, we should be back on track.

We have four (!!) of Dave Ramsey's Deluxe Envelope Systems, but I use a coupon organizer. I used the Deluxe Envelope System for a while but it was too awkward when standing at the checkout line. The coupon organizer seems to tick fewer people standing in line behind me off. Maybe someday I will go back to using it, but for right now the coupon organizer is perfect.

Where do you keep your 'envelope' money?

I really like it. I don't know why but people would get so mad when I pulled out DR's envelope system, but for some reason this is ok. Maybe because it is more familiar to people?
