America Saves Pledge   arrow

America Saves Week is about more than helping Americans understand the importance of saving – it’s about getting them to save automatically.  We know that savers with a plan are more than twice as likely to make progress towards their savings goals as those without a plan.

Let America Saves help you reach your savings and debt reduction goals. It all starts when you make a commitment to yourself to save. That’s what this pledge is all about. When someone takes the Pledge, they identify a savings goal (such as a rainy day fund or retirement), an amount to save per month, and the number of months they will save that amount. In other words, they make a basic savings plan.   https://americasaves.org/for-savers/pledge

And it doesn’t stop there. America Saves will keep you motivated with periodic information, advice, tips, and reminders sent by email or text message to help you reach your savings goal. Think of America Saves as your own personal support system and take the pledge.

America Saves, a campaign managed by the nonprofit Consumer Federation of America (https://consumerfed.org/), seeks to motivate, encourage, and support low- to moderate-income households to save money, reduce debt, and build wealth. Non‐profit, government, and corporate groups participate in America Saves nationally and through local, regional, and statewide campaigns around the country. America Saves encourages individuals and families to take the America Saves pledge and organizations to promote savings year-round and during America Saves Week and throughout the year.
