Ever felt like you were down to your last penny?  Have you broken into your savings, retirement, or college funds just to pay the bills?

If so, you're not alone.  Studies say that 7 out of 10 American families live paycheck to paycheck and only 40% have thought about their plans to retire.

In response to the growing problem of personal debt and poor financial management, Eastside is hosting Financial Peace University.  This 13-week DVD course, appreviated F.P.U., features New York Times best-selling author and nationally syndicated radio host Dave Ramsey.

These high-energy, surprisingly entertaining (trust us!) lessons cover savings, doable budgets, insurance, investments, spending habits, college funds, buying/selling real estate, retirement planning, charitable giving, and much, much more.

Look forward to attending a preview of this course in the fall of 2008.  Questions can be directed to Pastor Mike at mnovotny@eastsidelutheran.org
