  3. America Saves Week

America Saves Week

During this week we’ll join together and elevate a national conversation that encourages individuals to take control of their financial future.

Saving enough for the future doesn’t happen overnight. That’s why it’s so important to keep taking small steps now that can make a big difference later. To celebrate America Saves Week this year, challenge yourself to contribute an extra penny on every dollar to your retirement account. That’s just 1% now with the potential for a lot more in growth by the time you retire. And with pretax contributions, more money goes into your account than comes out of your paycheck. One percent doesn’t seem like much now, but look at the difference between saving 3% and 4% over time!

Don’t delay – start today. Tell your employer that you want to save more now!

Need help with budgeting and managing debt? Help is right here. You can also watch a short video on paying down credit card debt management here.
