TODAY from America Saves Week: Save to Retire
Thursday, February 28: Save to retire
- Studies show few Americans have adequate savings for retirement but it’s never too late – or too early – to start saving. Saving now for retirement will help ensure you have enough money to enjoy a comfortable standard of living when you stop working. Participate in a work-related retirement program such as a 401(k) or open an Individual Retirement Account (or IRA). Already saving for retirement? Try increasing the amount you save by 1 percent each year.
- Visit www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount and discover what their current estimated Social Security earnings will be.

Today from "America Saves Week"
Wednesday, February 27: Save for the unexpected
- That day you blew a tire. The time your dishwasher overflowed. That vacation when your child got sick far from home and the doctor wouldn’t take your insurance. We all have those unexpected events in life that can lead to financial stress, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Putting aside a few dollars a week into a savings account for unexpected costs can build financial security – and relieve a lot of anxiety! Saving for the unexpected starts with small, regularly scheduled contributions that build up over time.
- Wednesday’s Toolkit(s) + Resources:
- Emergency Financial First Aid Kit (EFFAK)
- 2018 Version – Strengthen your financial preparedness for disasters and emergencies
- Financial Preparedness, from Ready.Gov
- Save for the Unexpected One-pager – contains easy steps for starting a savings fund for unexpected expenses
