“By simply following the principles of the Financial Fitness Program, individuals around the world have the opportunity to free themselves and their families from the Financial Matrix forever!” –Orrin Woodward
While time is ticking by and the end of the first quarter of 2016 is already sneaking up on us, numerous people across the globe–from all kinds of different backgrounds–have decided to take control of their personal finances. Success stories pour in every week about the impact that a shift in thinking is making in the lives of everyday people; and we would like to put some of these awesome testimonies on display. Read on to see how implementing some simple disciplines can radically change the course of a family’s legacy.
“We committed to the Financial Fitness Program last year, and just in this last year, we paid off $12,000 in student loan debt that was going to take us the next 5-6 years if we would have just stuck to the minimums. So we’re getting out of debt and getting out of the Financial Matrix…and we’re pretty fired up about 2016!” -Jason Fry (Apple Valley, Minnesota)
“Esther and I are fired up! We are debt free! Over the course of about 3 months, we got rid of almost $6,000 of debt. And that was kind of our comfort zone–we just kind of stuck around that $6,000 mark for about 3 years, and we just couldn’t seem to get rid of it. But we decided that we were going to get serious and applied some of the Financial Fitness principles. ‘Pay yourself first’ was a big one, and from there, now we’re debt free!” -Matthew Bontrager (Middleburg, Indiana)
“We sat down with [our mentors] about a week ago and laid out a plan to knock out our consumer debt and our medical bills. We have since paid off 7 of our 8 credit cards, with a plan to pay off the 8th and final payment in the next month. We also were able to pay off 6 of our 8 medical bills, with a plan to pay off the remainder of those medical bills by the end of April. So we are so excited to be out from under this financial stress once and for all, and I want to thank [our mentors] for leading the way and showing us how to do it right!” -Kelley Bolte (Ballwin, Missouri)
“The Financial Fitness Program has really saved my life. Swirling backwards at 26, I was able to eliminate a detrimental mortgage of $85,000, pay off over $3,000 in credit cards, and initiate a settlement–saving over a hopeful $10,000 in medical bills–setting me debt-free by November before my 29th birthday! This material and the support of personal coaches and mentors are truly a God-sent blessing. It would have been so helpful as a freshman in high school, but it’s just as effective today! Big warm heartfelt thank you to Orrin Woodward and Chris Brady and their amazing families.” -Jason Anderson (Lyman, South Carolina)
“I just want to take a moment to recognize Attorney Walter E. ‘Pete’ Moak. Tonight, for the very first time, was the launch and introduction to Financial Fitness. Pete has been a Bankruptcy Attorney for the last 40 years, and he thought it was time that he took all of the knowledge and principles and wisdom that he’s learning through the Financial Fitness Program and share it with his past clients that have filed for bankruptcy. Tonight, at his law office, we had a classroom full of about 20-25 individuals who were sitting here, learning the principles of Financial Fitness; and we’re going to start a 6-week program to go through the Financial Fitness Master Class together!” -Daniel Macfarlane (Chandler, Arizona)
“I just made the credit card company caller’s day, he said. Because I was EXCITED that he called me, because I was EXCITED to close this account!…He was so happy that I was happy to pay off this debt. I’m fired up! Let’s go!” -Kamaria Blaney (Rolla, Missouri)
“On Tuesday, Carol and I were able to write our last check to a personal loan that we had with a credit union. We are so excited about that because now all we have left is the home mortgage. So that puts us at–tallying up for the last 2 1/2 years–$57,000 in credit card debt gone, 2 car loans paid off a year early, and this $15,000 personal loan. That’s the Financial Fitness right there, working at its best!” -Luis Medina (Spring, Texas)
The individuals and families quoted in the success stories above are becoming true heroes in a society of debt and control. They are paving the way for so many others to follow in their footsteps, and we feature their testimonies here to congratulate them for the difference that they are making!

The number one reason I love the FFP is because it has my wife and I on the same page regarding our finances for the first time in our marriage!
Elizabeth Zmudzinski says
After I graduated from college, I had over $32,000 of school loan debt, $3,000 of credit card debt and zero savings. I started the financial fitness program and have since gotten rid of the credit card debt, learned to pay myself first and am on track to paying off all my school loan debt in the next 2 years. Thank you Life Leadership and The Financial Fitness program for getting me on track to a better future.

I love these stories. My husband DJ and I started really applying the principles of financial fitness in November 2014. Jeremy and Echelle Slade really helped us focus on what our long term goals were which made following their advice so easy. We started our debt snowball by selling a costly truck and purchasing an old van for cash and applying that payment to the snowball. Then this past fall we decided to ramp things up and sell a rental home we had and a duplex. Both closed in January. Using the equity we paid off about $230,000 worth of debt and have the lowest monthly expenses we have ever had in our marriage. We also have two months of expenses saved up. Unfortunately we still have a student loan and a credit card left but with the amount we now have to snowball those will be gone by summer!!!

So, you know that sinking feeling in your gut when the repair shop calls and says your car needs $550 in repairs?? The brain scramble to try to figure out what credit card to put it on … the panic over what bill might not get paid because of this, or trying to figure out if you can put off the repairs until … ??
Yep – THAT DIDN’T HAPPEN TO US TODAY!
Because of the fantastic information in the Financial Fitness Program, we were able to pay for it without panic, without worry, without sacrifice.
The Financial Fitness Program works – just put it to work for you!
Thank you to Life Leadership and the Financial Fitness Program – #lovelifeleadership
