PentecostalMom Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I would like to start my 6yo dd with the Dave Ramsey system for kids. If you have any of the kids items, what did you get? There is a deal on this set, but then I would still need to buy Financial Peace Junior. Wondering if the books and audio cd's are worth getting or if I should just get FPJ. Anyone have experience with these and can voice an opinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mumto2 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I am going to respond because no one else has. I think the books are the ones that were given with Chick-fil-a kids meals 6 or so years ago. The red racer one looks familiar and I know they were Dave Ramsey. We actually bought some too. They were good. Well presented and engaging. I am sorry I can't remember more. I have never used the other material. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Carrie12345 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I was NOT impressed with the FPJ kit. I'd like to try the books and cds, but I hesitate b/c of my disappointment with the basic box. (I do like the teen program, though!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeterbug Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I haven't used FPJ, but we have the books and love them. Perfect for both my 5yo and 8yo. I'd love to have the audio to listen to in the car. Wish they were in iTunes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie12345 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Would you care to be more specific? I really don't want to waste money. Thanks! The activity book is mostly coloring. There are some calculations, but they pretty much revolve around the concept of pay-per-chore. I'm personally not a fan of pay-per-chore, because I have kids who will decide they don't need any more money, and I will be stuck having to scoop kitty litter! The "lessons" are cutesy stories. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but they're not big, in-depth, captivating lessons or anything, lol. The parents guide is completely unnecessary for any homeschooling parent who has read a DR book. If you teach your kids already, and you get the gist of DR, you know what to do with the stuff. The rest is a wipe-off chore chart, stickers, plastic save/give/spend envelopes, magnets, a little calculator, and crayons. They ARE rather cute, but I'm glad I only bought one box before purchasing one for each child. They aren't worth the price on their own, imo. And, again, the chore chart has a line for the monetary value of each chore. It does include the Battle of the Chores audiobook, but I haven't actually listened to it yet. Now that I pulled the box out :) , I'll keep that out so I can give it a go soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
