With just weeks left to go on its WeLiveFit! $10,000 challenge to the family who saved the most this year, Florida Commerce Credit Union is already looking for new families for next year's contest.

Since February, seven families have competed in the challenge to reduce their debt, increase their savings and boost their credit scores for a chance to win $10,000. The families, who worked closely with financial coaches from Florida Commerce, are featured in a monthly show about their challenges and successes. The winner of the contest will be announced Jan. 19.

The WeLiveFIT! challenge has given the community a personal glimpse into the lives of every day families dealing with money and budget issues, and how they tackled these struggles to improve their finances, said Samantha Strickland, vice president of growth and brand management at $315 million Florida Commerce in Tallahassee. "Their successes and failures helped facilitate a community-wide dialogue about money, budgeting and debt reduction."
