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.
