America Saves Week (February 22-27, 2016): America Saves Week is coordinated by America Saves and the American Savings Education Council. Started in 2007, the Week is an annual opportunity for organizations to promote good savings behavior and a chance for individuals to assess their own saving status.
"One of the easiest and most effective ways to save is automatically. Millions of Americans save regularly by direct deposit from their paycheck into a savings or an employer-sponsored retirement account. Consumers can also automate savings by directing a portion of their tax refund into savings while filing their tax return, or signing up for a regular deposit into a simple, safe and affordable Treasury Department myRA retirement account. America Saves Week is a great time to start saving automatically." - Richard Cordray, Director, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau"America Saves Week reminds us of the importance of saving and investing. Saving a little each day and investing over a long period of time is how most Americans reach their financial goals . . ." - Lori J. Schock, Director of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy
“During America Saves Week, The Treasury Department joins many organizations and our federal partners in renewing our commitment to promoting the importance of saving . . . we are working to ensure that more Americans have the knowledge and tools to manage money and credit responsibly - because educated and financially capable consumers contribute to the strength of our overall economy. America Saves Week is an ideal time for people across the country, especially young people, to think about ways that they can invest in their futures and lead healthy financial lives.” - Jacob J. Lew, Secretary of the U.S. Treasury Department
