When we joined NRU, our bank account was negative and we owed money to everyone we knew.  We had also just had our first baby, and we knew we wanted a better life for him than what we were living!  When we saw Nouveau Riche, we did not have a clue how we were going to enroll in school, but we knew that it was the opportunity we had been looking for. We had to find a way to make it work!  Today, a short 9 months later, our lives have completely turned around.  We have made more money in the past year than we had made in the ten previous years combined!  We are living comfortably in a house we never would have dreamed of a year ago.  We have paid off all of our debts to our families, and are now in a position to help them out when they need it.  We are even expecting our second baby, and are so excited that our children will never have to know what it is like to worry about money!
