The Cache Valley Financial Wellness Project Supports AMERICA SAVES WEEK  

Promoting automatic savings to help people reach their savings goals 

Logan, Utah – As part of America Saves Week 2016, scheduled for February 22 – 27, the Cache Valley Financial Wellness Project is spreading the saving message and urging its network to encourage people to make savings automatic as part of America Saves Week. 

America Saves Week is a great opportunity to help people in our community to Set a Goal, Make a Plan, and Save Automatically. These are choices that will lead to financial independence, which is what the project is all about” said Project Coordinator, Sharilee Griffiths.

To encourage people to save more successfully and encourage more people to save, the Cache Valley Financial Wellness Project has partnered with a variety of local businesses and organizations to offer Cache Valley citizens valuable tools and resources to become educated about sound financial habits as well as their personal finances and steps they need to be focusing on at this point in their lives.  Tools available as part of America Saves Week includes a complementary financial game plan that serves as a gps for your finances, training opportunities in several different formats, a personal 1-1 coaching session for couples, an insurance review (available for life, home and auto) and assistance with filing taxes through the VITA program. 

“The Cache Valley Financial Wellness Project helped me realize that I need to be intentional in my financial choices if I want to reach my financial goals. We are so much more aware of what we need to do and are finally getting back on track to moving in the right direction,” said local saver Amy.
