Day 1: Save with a Plan

Does it seem like saving money is a luxury you can’t afford?  Do you have good intentions to save, but unexpected needs always seem to arise?  Are you counting on your “future self” to come to the rescue?

You’re not alone.  According to the Federal Reserve’s Report on the Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households, 40% of adults feel they don’t have enough saved to cover a $400 emergency.  Many of us are all too familiar with financial stress. Luckily, there is hope.

America Saves Week has put together an online toolkit featuring ten tips to get you started in the right direction.  Similar to losing that extra ten pounds, saving takes commitment and dedication. You’ll need a play and you’ll need to stick with it.  Will it be easy? No. Is it worth it? Yes!  Your future self will thank you.
