Americans rank personal finances as their number one cause of significant stress.
On average, bank customers who make use of Personal Finance Management tools are 18% wealthier than those who don’t.
Even after citing investing as their top financial goal, 56% of Americans feel behind on their retirement savings goals.
Today, there is a high volume of individuals searching online for personal investment advice.3 And while there is plenty of information out there, it can be difficult to identify trustworthy sources that can help them navigate their unique investment challenges. While other individuals may depend on their financial advisor to dictate their decisions for them, they ultimately lack a personal understanding of what contributes to those important choices, making it difficult to know what questions to ask.4
