Free video course offers advice for getting out of debt

Talk about it

Worried about your finances?

Struggling with a mountain of debt?

Wondering how you will keep your home?

The Unity Foundation of Alexandria will soon present a series of video presentations that will provide help and advice – for free.

The “Dave Ramsey Total Money Makeover” will take place on six consecutive Monday nights, beginning March 16. The videos will be shown from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. at the Holiday Inn in Alexandria.

Because seating is limited, organizers are asking people to pre-register by March 11. Call (320) 491-6417 or e-mail saraj@wisper-wireless.com.

The event is free, courtesy of the Unity Foundation and includes a book and a CD with helpful forms. Ken Snyder from the Unity Foundation will facilitate the class.

Snyder said that Ramsey’s techniques work. One local couple erased a $30,000 debt in a year and a half, he said.

A personal money management expert, Ramsey is a popular national radio personality and best-selling author of The Total Money Makeover, Financial Peace and More Than Enough.

He is also host of “The Dave Ramsey Show” on Fox Business Network.

Ramsey knows first-hand what financial peace means in his own life – living a true rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches story.

By age 26, he had established a $4 million real estate portfolio, only to lose it by age 30. He has since rebuilt his financial life and now devotes himself full-time to helping ordinary people understand the forces behind their financial distress and how to set things right.

Through his proven plan, Ramsey helps people eliminate debt and credit cards, learn to budget, avoid bankruptcy, build wealth and find financial peace.

During the video course, participants will learn:

•How to put together a monthly spending plan that really works.

•The step-by-step process for getting out of debt for good.

•How to set financial goals and really communicate about money.

•How to recognize the 10 most dangerous myths about debt.
