Increase Your Financial Fitness

 

So How Can I Increase My Financial Fitness?

For three years our research team at Florida State University has been searching for answers to this question. However, rather than drawing on ideas commonly held about personal finance to come up with these answers, we’ve been carefully researching personal financial strategies that actually helped real householders accumulate wealth and become Financially Fit. And we feel confident that our research findings will be useful to all Americans.

In our research, we contrasted the personal financial strategies of householders who had similar opportunities to accumulate wealth over their lifetimes but ended up with very different amounts of wealth nearing retirement. We focused in particular on the personal financial strategies used in “top performing” households; those containing householders who were the most Financially Fit approaching retirement. Our investigations revealed six such strategies, which we have called the Simple 6.
