Almost every person that you come in contact with can agree that being financially fit is one of the most desired positions in our society today. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most uncommon realities that we find in our communities, because gathering the knowledge and tools needed to make it happen is usually a very time-consuming project. Enter the Financial Fitness Program. Ever since its debut into the professional world, the Financial Fitness suite of products has continued to expand and impress. Although the beginning resources were strictly informational; recently, a program was launched to help the Financial Fitness customers both track and save money on their everyday expenses. The idea behind the Track and Save program is to give Financial Fitness customers the tools that they need to coincide with the information that they’re taking in to effectively begin and master the journey of becoming debt free–and eventually–financially independent.
“A couple of days ago, I went to get my tires changed; and when they went over my car at the garage, they told me that I also needed new rotors and break pads. Between the rotors and the tires–and I also needed to get new spark plugs for my car–I was able to save $96.88 with the Track and Save app. I’m so thankful, because that is the exact amount that I need to pay on my student loan each month!” -Anthony Trucano (Financial Fitness customer)
The Financial Fitness Program encompasses the three key areas that one needs to master to be financially fit: the Defense, the Offense and the Playing Field of personal finances. Just like in any team sport, if a team is great at the offensive plays, but they are horribly bad on the defensive side, they probably won’t have a great season. On the same token, if a team has a really good defensive strategy, but they don’t apply any offense, they are also out of luck. And if you do find a team that does well in both the defense and the offense, but they don’t understand the philosophy of the game that they’re playing, they can kiss their victory march goodbye. In financial fitness, one must learn about and apply the knowledge from all three aspects. The Track and Save program makes planning your personal defensive strategy much more convenient, as well as very efficient.
“Jon & Leslie Fowler were doing some back-to-school shopping with their boys a couple of weeks ago. They were picking up some shoes at Sketchers for the new school year, and they saved $107 on one purchase with the Track and Save app. They were so excited to share!” -Will Brindley (Financial Fitness representative)
“Lynn’s SUV needed some brake work today. It needed new brakes and rotors in the front, and they did the work. The bill came out to $410. I pulled up the Track and Save app on my iPad, and it said 15% off. So my bill went from $410 to $338. I thought that was pretty fired up. Track and Save all the way! -Kolynn Kelley (Financial Fitness customer)
The Track and Save program has officially been in play for three full months–from July 2015 through September 2015–and we want to share some of the results that the Financial Fitness community has been able to experience. Since this product launched in July, the combined savings add up to a total of $1,376,765* to date. That’s $1.3 million back in customers’ pockets that would have usually been spent on daily expenses.
“I just found a new use for my Track and Save program, and this is very important. Yesterday, I took a look through my bank statements and I found a charge that I didn’t recognize. It was for $10.83. Since July 1st, I have tracked every single penny and every single expense through the Track & Save program; so I was able to reflect back–look through my transactions–and see if I could identify this one. It had a weird name, and it was time-stamped with a time when I had not purchased anything…And I could not find anything for $10.83. So I was able to call my bank, get a refund that very moment, get the card cancelled–and they’re sending out a new one. I’m protected. So I didn’t lose my money, and I’m not going to lose money in the future. Quite frankly, before I was tracking my expenses, there would be no way I could tell–no way that I could verify that I didn’t spend that. Even if I would’ve figured out that it was a bad charge, I wouldn’t have been able to prove it. For all intensive purposes, track your spending!” -John Burns (Financial Fitness customer)

My wife and I first came across the Financial Fitness Program in 2014. Initially, she was spearheading the finances and we had a different philosophy and approach to handling our bills. We then inserted the first few principles in the program and immediately began attacking debt. We found an extra $1100 dollars in our budget. That got our attention and since February/March haven’t needed to use a single credit card, herefore to date we’ve paid off 5 credit cards totaling around $3000! Another step out the Financial Matrix.

My wife and I started using the track and save program on August 3, 2015 it is now October 14 and we have saved almost $500. ($489.99 to be exact) since then. That doesn’t even count all the holes we found in our financial bucket by starting to really track our expenses, that was just saving money on things we are going to be purchasing anyway like hotels, rental cars and pizza lots and lots of pizza…. 🙂 but it’s amazing when you look at all the different places that money could be saved, I know we’re not using it to its full potential even yet!
Thanks Life Leadership !

I travel quite a bit and LOVE that I can save more with Track and Save than I was saving with Expedia and other travel savings sites. We’ve shared this tool with our clients, and now they are saving money every single month, too. It’s awesome!

I know it’s not here yet but our team booked a series of rooms for the major and with t&s we can save about $20-25 per night! That’s very close to a savings of $500. Combined!! Can’t wait!!

I LOVE this program! From saving $ on everyday purchases, to tracking income & expenses and seeing where all the money goes! It’s truly enlightening to understand my own spending habits and be empowered to make better choices in my investments and expenses. In the last 12 months ALONE, this wisdom has helped me reduce my consumer, car, family and student loan debt by over $30,000!!!
No more victim thinking…it’s time for VICTORY! 🙂

What could be better than track and save? This is a program that anyone and everyone can use for their benefit…to help them save money they have to spend for necessities so they can use it for the things that really matter in life! Thank you Life Leadership!

Great article! So far I’ve saved $40 at Advanced Auto toward a catalytic converter and also saved 10% at IHOP and used Track & Save at Subway & Firehouse Subs. It’s nice to be able to save money on places I frequent, but the Tracking feature alone is worth the subscription!
Chris Brady says
This is by far one of my favorite products that we offer. I just love how the savings keep rolling in! It’s also fun to provide a tool that gives people a way to actually implement some of the principles we teach in the Financial Fitness program.
Save on, my friends!
