Determining
Financial Fitness
Leslie Goldstein
Introduction
• Licensed through Securities America, Leslie “Les” Goldstein is the CEO of
Personal Financial Strategies, Inc. Leslie Goldstein has 35 years of
experience in personal finance and helping clients become financially fit
While there is no set recipe, financial fitness is determined by the
following combined factors. Individuals who are financially fit allocate a
portion of their income towards savings. In addition to long-term
savings, they have also set aside liquid money for emergencies. They are
aware of their debt and are capable of paying more than the required
monthly payment. They also know their net worth.
Outside of their finances, financially fit individuals are organized about
their cash flows. They have a monthly budget and have set specific
goals. By developing a budget, individuals rein in unnecessary spending
while ensuring that all of their bills are paid. Finally, when necessary,
financially fit people can reduce their spending because they can easily
determine where the waste is.
