Three Simple Rules

For many of us there never seems to be enough money to meet all our wants and that leads to trouble when credit is easy. This book spells out three simple rules anyone can use to avoid the negative consequences of easy credit. The rules really are as simple as the book is short (96 pages including addendums) and are simply these:

1. Spend less than you earn.
2. Save now! Buy later.
3. Know Debt.

Covering topics such as basic budgeting principles, common financial mistakes, good and bad financial habits, types of debt and ways to manage spending, this course helps families get their financial house in order. The material is flexible enough to allow class time to range from 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours depending on time available. The class size can range from as little as six to as many as thirty.The Three Simple Rules book is considered an intergral part of this workshop.

Three Simple Rules: Pre-Marriage Mentoring
    

The Pre-marriage Mentoring section of the Three Simple Rules manual will prepare the reader to offer pre-marriage mentoring sessions focused on the couple's compatibility in the area of finance-related values. This section is designed to help ferret out potential value differences and give the couple an opportunity to talk about them before they tie the knot. Participating couples are asked to read the Three Simple Rules book as a part of the mentoring process. One copy of The Financial Counselor and Workshop Leader Training Manual and one copy of the Three Simple Rules book is available for $35.
