Leaving the military and adapting to civilian life comes with more than its fair share of challenges. And one of the biggest challenges for Veterans is personal finances. A recent study from Blue Star Families<\/a> reports that 82% of working-age Veterans say they stress about money.<\/p>\n

Between rising costs of living and the weight of credit cards and other debt, many Veterans are living paycheck to paycheck.<\/p>\n

Ramsey Solutions<\/a>, founded by personal finance expert Dave Ramsey, wants to help. In honor of Veterans Day, they want to serve 10,000 Veterans by offering them Financial Peace University (FPU) for free.<\/p>\n

What is Financial Peace University?<\/h2>\n

FPU is a nine-week class that Dave Ramsey created after his own story of going broke and fighting back from bankruptcy.<\/p>\n

It teaches how to budget, pay off debt and invest wisely through easy-to-understand video lessons. Veterans will go through the class with a supportive group of people where they can talk openly about money. And together, they\u2019ll discuss the lessons and encourage each other as they make progress toward their goals.<\/p>\n

With FPU, Veterans also get tools and resources to help them manage their money. One of those tools is EveryDollar, a budgeting app designed to work alongside FPU. Veterans also get a year of unlimited group calls with Ramsey-trained financial coaches\u2014plus, a free one-on-one session.<\/p>\n

For over 30 years, Financial Peace University has helped millions of people\u2014including thousands of Veterans\u2014become debt-free and build wealth.<\/p>\n

FPU\u2019s impact on Veterans\u2014Valarie\u2019s story<\/h2>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Valarie Tomme is one of those Veterans. After leaving the Air Force, she was \u201cworking to live.\u201d She was broke, with $125,000 in debt hanging over her\u2014but no one knew how bad things were.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought I was so strong, and I could do this all on my own. And I was too ashamed and embarrassed and prideful to think I was doing something wrong,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

But then a friend convinced her and her husband to take FPU. The class not only made their marriage stronger, but it also got them excited to become debt-free. After nearly three years, that dream became a reality as they paid off a combined $205,000!<\/p>\n

Now, Tomme hopes other Veterans follow in her footsteps.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say to anybody to put your shame aside. Once you pay off that first small debt, there\u2019s life. There\u2019s a breath of fresh air. You have a little hope,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

How Veterans can get FPU for free<\/h3>\n

Veterans can sign up by going to ramseysolutions.com\/veterans, where they\u2019ll create an account and fill out a simple form. Ramsey Solutions is offering FPU free for up to 10,000 Veterans, now through Monday, Nov. 13.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
