America Saves Week

America's personal savings rate is near zero, most Americans are not saving adequately for retirement, and most lower income households do not have adequate emergency savings for unexpected expenditures like a car repair. But with more societal encouragement and support, more Americans will be persuaded to build wealth, not debt. The purpose of America Saves Week, is to encourage individuals to assess their savings progress and take action to advance this progress. February 20-27, 2011 americasaves.org
