LCC offers "Financial Freedom" course
EUGENE - Lane Community College is offering a new eight-week community
education course called “Your Money or Your Life” which will
focus on getting out of debt, living better on less, and creating a lifestyle
that provides the time to do the things that are really important to us.
Based on the best-selling book of the same name, this class is for anyone
who is stuck on the earn more/spend more treadmill, feels like their finances
are out of control, or that they don't have enough time or money. The
class is based on a groundbreaking nine-step program for financial freedom
and a new way of looking at money and paid employment.
Course instructors Dale Lugenbehl and Sandy Aldridge retired in their 40s from their jobs as part-time college instructors after following the ideas in the “Your Money or Your Life” program. They have taught this class numerous times and have been featured in Kiplinger Personal Finance magazine.
According to Lugenbehl, "Many people find that their jobs almost completely take over their lives, leaving only scraps of their time and energy for everything else. To make matters worse, the jobs that many people have are dull, tedious, without meaning, and frequently conflict with their deepest beliefs about what is right and wrong. Life often seems like an endless treadmill of working in order to buy things which ultimately do not make us happy. Meanwhile, we have this uneasy sense that the way we are living is destroying the natural world and the health of our environment which keeps us all alive. But life does not really have to be this way."
The class meets Thursdays from 6-8 p.m. starting April 17 in Building 11, Room 248 on main campus. Registration is open to anyone and information about the class can be obtained on page 30 of the LCC Spring Term Class Schedule or by calling 463-5252.
