The Ramsey course was a good basic introduction to the key principles of the Ramsey method of budgeting and managing finances. In the Guest Hollow course, my daughter read one of Dave Ramsey’s books but also looked at finances from other perspectives. The projects included making meals and items for home in a low cost way which I thought was good for showing how you could do things on a budget. The Ramsey program is all online and self graded and definitely takes less than a full semester to complete. So all in all while I personally follow the Ramsey method I think it would depend on how in-depth you want your student to go into personal finances. I know that on the Ramsey website there are additional financial courses you can have your student do online. If you wanted to go all online route, I would recommend looking at several of their courses or seeing if they have one of their bundles on sale to bulk it up as a course. If you want your student to learn multiple perspectives on finances and budgeting, as well as have some hands-on practical projects to do then I would consider Guest Hollow.
Hi abbey , how did dd like the SAT prep program ? Did she feel that it helped with the English portion of the test? My dd did great with the math, but the English is really tripping her up and we are looking for a program to help crack the English sat code!!! Ugh thanks!
She just got her scores and totally rocked the English portion. She did feel like the program helped, especially with feeling comfortable taking the full length test
It's always been the times of struggle in our family, where I feel the most guilt about things, that my kids have grown and matured the most. Which is a good reminder that we don't have to be perfect as mothers!
Always love and appreciate the perspective you bring. I cannot stress how encouraging it is to hear you share the fruit of all of those years of hard work you put in during those earlier years of homeschooling. I have a few years yet before mine will be in high school, but I am so grateful for mamas like you who share what the end of the homeschool journey looks and feels like. ❤
Thank you Abbey…I’m also having a struggle with letting group things go. With having 2 in High School, 1 in middle school and 1 elementary…it’s a juggle for time. It’s hard to let go of “doing field trips, projects etc together” as each child is at a different stage in their education.
Thank you. Question. Can you share your thoughts on Ramsey personal finance vs Guest Hollow personal finance?

That’s right! We moms can be practically imperfect 😄
