What you can learn from this booklet

The U.S. Department of Labor and Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Inc. (CFP Board) want you to succeed in setting financial and retirement goals. Savings Fitness: A Guide to Your Money and Your Financial Future starts you on the way to setting goals and putting your retirement high on the list of personal priorities.

The Department of Labor’s interest in retirement planning stems from its desire to improve the security of American workers in retirement. In 1995, the Department launched its Retirement Savings Education Campaign. Saving is now a national priority, with the passage of the Savings Are Vital to Everyone’s Retirement Act of 1997 (SAVER). With this congressional mandate, the Department brings front and center the need to educate Americans about retirement savings.

CFP Board also has a keen interest in helping Americans meet their personal and financial goals. A nonprofit, professional regulatory organization, CFP Board exists to benefit the public by fostering professional standards in personal financial planning so that the public values, has access to and benefits from competent and ethical financial planning. To this end, CFP Board authorizes individuals who meet its competency, ethics, and professional standards to use its trademarks CFP®, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and CFP.

This booklet shows you the key tool for making a secure retirement a reality: financial planning. It will help clarify your retirement goals as well as other financial goals you want to “buy” along the way. It will show you how to manage your money so you can afford today’s needs yet still fund tomorrow’s goals. It will help you make saving for retirement and other goals a habit. You’ll learn there is no such thing as starting to save too early or too late — only not starting at all! You’ll learn how to save your money to make it work for you, and how to protect it so it will be there when you need it for retirement. It explains how you can take the best advantage of retirement plans at work, and what to do if you’re on your own.

Yes, retirement is a big purchase. The biggest one you may ever make. Yet you can afford it — with determination, hard work, a sound savings habit, the right knowledge, and a well-designed financial plan.
