LifeCents Partners with DC Government to Re-Launch Financially Fit DC

Mayor Bowser announces expansion of popular DC program to include Spanish language option

Washington D.C., January 1, 2018  — LifeCents, a financial wellness company, today announced the re-launch of Financially Fit DC which is now available in Spanish.

Mayor Muriel Bowser’s Financially Fit DC initiative is designed to help DC residents acquire the knowledge, develop the skills, and access programs and services they need to improve their financial habits and reach their financial goals

LifeCents initially launched Financially Fit DC in 2017, but the program was re-launched in 2018 with a Spanish language version to improve accessibility for a growing population in DC.

Financially Fit DC is a District government initiative aimed at strengthening financial stability for individuals, families, and the local community. 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. DC residents can identify short-term needs and set long-term plans to achieve goals by following a personalized roadmap to financial freedom.

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.”
