Recipes for Financial Fitness

Recipes for Financial Fitness is a wonderful new toolkit for anyone who wants to learn or teach about financial matters. Over 100 recipes for success – developed with guidance from Habitat staff and partner families – cover these important topics:

• Credit, Credit Scores and Credit Problems
• Controlling Spending and Saving
• Owning a Home
• Finding a Good Job
• Protect My Money and Identity
• Getting an Education

The Recipe for Financial Fitness Toolkit allows a person who faces a tough challenge to immediately find useful information and practical advice.

For someone who wants to learn or teach about a specific topic, the recipes are organized into lessons that include interactive worksheets, quizzes and links to online resources. For maximum benefit, the program can be taken as a self-help course, beginning with a full assessment of a family’s understanding of finances. Then each recipe can be engaged in order as the family uses the work sheets used to track progress toward meeting their goals.

The Recipes for Financial Fitness Toolkit is made possible through a generous donation from, and in collaboration with, the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE). HFHI and NEFE have partnered for over a dozen years to provide Habitat families with the tools they need to become financially secure.
