Financially Fit DC accomplishes this by offering financial education information, tools, and resources to help connect residents to specific resources for their personal financial situation and take control of everyday finances.

The Financially Fit DC program includes:
- Making a budget
- Building wealth through savings
- Understanding and managing your credit profile
- Preparing to buy a home
- Planning for retirement
- Helping the next generation plan for their financial future
“At LifeCents, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to achieve financial security and reach their financial goals – – whether those include avoiding high-cost financial products, paying for college, buying a home or taking care of loved ones,” said Blake Allison, CEO and President of LifeCents. “We are so pleased to work hand-in-hand with Mayor Bowser and her team to help DC residents improve their financial health and plan for the future.”
