Gauging your financial health is much more complex than just determining your credit score. While FIST® considers your current debts, similar to a credit score, it also takes into account your retirement savings, life insurance, and emergency savings. Stability in each of these areas is necessary for long-term financial security and the peace of mind it brings to you and your loved ones.
After assessing your scores in each of the four areas, FIST® also gives you a composite financial stability score on a scale of 0-100. With FIST®, you can take control of your financial destiny by setting and tracking short and long-term financial goals. Improve your score as you achieve your goals and progress towards financial stability and generating wealth. Monitor your net worth, budget household and personal expenses, and track your investments all in one place. Connect your financial accounts from over 13,000 financial institutions for a comprehensive personal finance dashboard that will provide you with AI-driven insights to enable clear and informed financial decisions.

Financial Stability is nothing more than good risk management. While we may not be able to choose when life's challenges head our way, we can be prepared for the financial repercussions they may bring. The main areas of financial risk that often impact families can be summarized by the four L's. How are you doing in each area?
Without enough money set aside, the loss of a job, an unforeseen medical event or unexpected home repair can cause a significant strain on your finances. Adequate savings set aside for an emergency will keep your head above water when a crisis hits home.
Taking on too much debt can be debilitating to anyone seeking a financially secure future. High monthly payments and added fees not only cause significant emotional and financial strain, it also significantly limits your ability to save money for emergencies or for retirement.
While you may dream of the day of your retirement, without proper planning, that day may need to be pushed further and further back into an unknown future. Saving consistently and sufficiently for retirement will allow you to determine when and how you retire.
One of the largest financial burdens that can be placed on a family is the failure to have an adequate life insurance policy in the event of the death of a primary care giver and/or provider. Life insurance is a necessity for anyone who has others who depend on them for their financial well-being.
