However, FitBUX showed her how building and implementing her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/struggling-with-financial-stress\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"39\">FitBUX Financial plan<\/a> could <b>generate an incremental $3 million and improve her overall financial flexibility!<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Read her story below so you can do the same.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">+ $900k At Retirement With Automated Adjustments<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Cindy was doing a great job following her own plan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">However, she was making a common mistake. While she was diligently allocating part of her income to debt payments and asset contributions, she did not have a way to adjust her contributions as her income grew.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Like most people she forgot to do so as her income increased.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Because FitBUX&#8217;s financial planning technology tracks Cindy&#8217;s plan and progress continuously, we automatically alert her when she needs to adjust her contributions, and by how much.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">By increasing the amounts correctly, <strong>we estimate that she will have an incremental $900k when she retires!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">+ $1.9 Million From Her Investments<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Cindy has been getting her employer match and investing in a Roth IRA for almost 10 years. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Unfortunately, she had no way of knowing whether her investment allocation was aligned with the level of risk her overall situation allowed her to bare.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Maybe she was taking too much risk&#8230;or maybe she could afford more risk.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Thanks to FitBUX&#8217;s investment recommendation technology available to Premium members, Cindy is now able to correctly allocate her investments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">By reallocating her investments, <strong>Cindy can expect to make an extra $1.9 million by the time she hits 62 years old!<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Avoiding Catastrophe<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Like many young professionals, Cindy wanted to buy a house. So she Googled &#8220;Home affordability calculator.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">She ran the numbers using a random online calculator and was told that could &#8220;afford&#8221; an $850k house.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">However, <strong>most online tools calculate what you can qualify for, not what you can afford!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Cindy logged into her FitBUX profile and used our home affordability technology. &nbsp;She realized that she could afford a $650k house.&nbsp; Purchasing a $850k home would have had her stuck in the race and on a &#8220;paycheck to paycheck&#8221; nightmare.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Also, purchasing a home she can afford allows her to stay on the path to <strong>financial independence and increased financial flexibility<\/strong>. Cindy will not end up the proverbial home owner who is house rich and cash poor.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Mortgage Points Net Her $290k<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As a &nbsp;FitBUX premium member, Cindy also has a designated FitBUX Coach.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">She decided to schedule a call with him prior to getting her mortgage. &nbsp;She wanted to know whether buying points made sense for her.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Her Coach was able to show her how paying 1.75 points on the mortgage would reduce her required monthly payment by $400. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">By investing those $400 monthly, she would pay off her house in 30 years (no change there) but would have<strong> an additional $290k invested!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being Financially Independent &amp; Avoiding Catastrophe!&nbsp; Congrats!
