Automatic Savings ASW2015 ASW

Can you believe we waited until day 4 of America Saves Week to zoom in on automating savings habits?!

If you’re already taken the America Saves pledge or have been a regular reader of the America Saves blog, you’ve heard this message loud and clear: automatic savings is not only our favorite wealth-building method, it’s also the easiest and most effective way to save. It can be hard to put aside money for savings, but by employing this easy method, you can save money without ever missing it – make your savings automatic in 2015.

We have two great chats happening today! The National Credit Union Administration will be featuring America Saves Week and Military Saves Week in their #NCUAchat this morning at 11:00 am EST. Later this afternoon, America Saves will be a featured guest on Wise Bread’s #WBChat at 3:00 pm EST.
