Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for assessing retirement planning based on a retirement score. The system is configured to compile projected retirement information of a first user, wherein the retirement information comprises a user profile of the first user. Based on the user profile of the first user, the system generates a projected retirement score. After generating the projected retirement score, the system receives a request to link a user profile for a second user to the user profile of the first user. The system projected retirement information of the second user and combines the projected retirement information of the first user with the projected retirement information of the second user, thus resulting in combined projected retirement information. Using both the projected retirement information, the system updates the projected retirement score.

establishing a connection with a fitness tracker of the first user;

causing the fitness tracker to determine a location of the first user;

receiving the location of the first user from the fitness tracker;

determining a fitness activity based on the location of the first user;

prompting the first user to perform the fitness activity by causing the fitness tracker to display a message and causing the fitness tracker to vibrate;

determining that the first user has completed the fitness activity;

updating the life expectancy of the first user and the projected retirement score based on determining that the first user has completed the fitness activity;

receiving from a personal computing device connected to the distributed network, a request to link a user profile for a second user to the user profile of the first user;

compiling into the structured database projected retirement information of the second user based on authorizing the request to link the user profile of the second user to the user profile of the first user;

combining the projected retirement information of the first user with the projected retirement information of the second user, thus resulting in combined projected retirement information;

further updating the projected retirement score based on the combined projected retirement information; and
