Boost your financial wellbeing, with MoneyFit

Apr 8, 2025
Money worries can be a source of stress you could live without. Learn practical steps to manage your money better this Financial Wellbeing Month (April 2025) with MoneyFit.

MoneyFit is your free financial wellbeing tool, designed to help you understand your current financial circumstances, and see where you may be able to make savings.

You can try it here, or by logging into, or registering for, your free myRPS account.

You can get involved with Financial Wellbeing Month

#FinancialWellbeingMonth is a free campaign designed to link workplaces together to improve financial wellbeing, mental health and to prevent suicide. Every April, Mental Health First Aid England, FinWELL and the R;pple Suicide Prevention Charity come together to bring you a month of helpful webinars, events and free resources to help you improve your financial wellness.

Financial Wellbeing Month aims to:

  • change mindsets around money
  • get people comfortable talking about money
  • educate and raise awareness, and
  • give people tools to improve their financial wellbeing

You can improve your budgeting with MoneyFit

With frequent increases to the cost-of-living, budgeting can help to reduce your stress levels, help to identify areas where you may be overspending, and potential savings you could make.

To use MoneyFit, simply take the 5-minute Attitude to Money Quiz to see what kind of money personality you have. You’ll be given a MoneyFit score, and your personal ‘money personality’ based on your quiz answers.

Then, you’ll get a personal MoneyFit action plan, including areas where you may be able to free up money to contribute to your pension savings.

You can use this personal action plan to assess how you manage your money.

MoneyFit is free, anonymous and you can use it as many times as you want to. If your circumstances change, you may use it to reassess your financial position.
