America Saves Week

What Is America Saves Week?

Since 2007 America Saves Week has been an annual celebration as well as a call to action for everyday Americans to commit to saving successfully. Through the support of thousands of participating organizations, together we encourage individuals to do a financial check-in that allows them to get a clear view of their finances, set savings goals, and create a plan to achieve them.

The focus is on the following themes:

Day 1 | Saving Automatically
Day 2 | Saving for the Unexpected
Day 3 | Saving for Major Milestones
Day 4 | Paying Down Debt is Saving
Day 5 | Saving at Any Age
