SAN DIEGO, CA, USA, May 22, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Precision Information, LLC., DBA Financial Fitness Group (FFG)(www.FinancialFitnessGroup.com), headquartered in San Diego, CA, which provides interactive financial education solutions for the financial services industry and Inc. 5000 companies across the nation, celebrates 20 years of providing financial education to the American workforce by launching a new financial education solution with Morningstar, Morningstar® Investing Classroom™ Deluxe, an educational tool with expanded topics and a gamification engine to help investors track the progress of their financial goals.

Morningstar Investing Classroom Deluxe expands the Investing Classroom offering with more than 250 interactive courses including financial planning, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and more. The expanded product now boasts a mobile-friendly design to allow for anytime learning and a recommendation engine to help investors build a personalized financial action plan. Another new feature is the gamification engine, which allows investors to track progress within Investing Classroom Deluxe.

“Morningstar and FFG are working together to achieve a shared mission: help investors make informed decisions,” said Marc DeMoss, Morningstar’s head of research licensing and distribution. “FFG is a long-standing collaborator with Morningstar on improving financial wellness and increasing financial education for investors. We are excited to broaden our offering with the enhanced content and functionality we’re adding to Investing Classroom Deluxe.”

Financial Wellness in America
Since the 1970’s, the United States has shifted the burden of saving for retirement from the employer to the employee. Pensions are now a thing of the past, and employees have taken on the sole responsibility for their financial futures. 80% of the workforce is living paycheck to paycheck - with 46% of those employees stressing about finances at work at least 3 hours per week. FFG, was created to help empower the individual to become more profitable and suffer less daily stress.
