Question. How many people usually take the class? Is there a lot of interaction and ideas floated? What is the percentage who take the course seriously and really go for it?
In our class we usually have about 5-7 couples. The interaction really depends on the make up of the class, but typically we have had no problems getting people to at least talk about the various subjects.
The % of people that take it seriously varies too, but generally I would say 70% implement most if not all the principles. When someone sees results in a short period it reinforces the changes.
Dave talks about "Gazelle Intensity", meaning that you have to view debt like a gazelle views a cheetah. You run! You have to get motivated to change, and he does a great job.
The most dificult portion for some people is the dreaded "budget" class. For some it is the first time they have honestly looked at their financial situation. Finding out you are spending more than you make is hard. Finding places to cut back are harder, and sometimes these life decisions cause people to lose hope that they can recover from the disaster they've created.
It's all about choices. Another of Dave's sayings is "Live like noone else, so you can live like noone else".
Debt is destroying the ability to save for most Americans, for your sake and your family I encourage you to take a step towards change. You'll never regret it.
Sorry to ramble on, but I believe in the concepts he teaches. If we could get this info into our children's minds at an early age, our future would be a bit brighter.
Hope this helps. You can Freepmail me if you want more info.
