While we each have unique circumstances, America Saves Week provides an opportunity to do a financial check-in, set or adjust your current goals, and create a plan to achieve them. Each day of America Saves Week highlights a different theme to help you take important steps toward financial wellness:

• Monday, April 7 – Saving automatically. Set up recurring transfers to your savings account to automate your savings.
• Tuesday, April 8 – Saving for the unexpected. Set a goal to build an emergency fund to help prepare for life’s surprises.
• Wednesday, April 9 – Saving for major milestones. Create a plan to make big goals achievable whether you are saving for retirement, a down payment for a home, college tuition, or other major milestone.
• Thursday, April 10 – Paying down debt is saving. By reducing your debt, you can save money on interest and fees and help build your credit score.
• Friday, April 11 – Saving at any age. No matter your age, it’s never too early or too late to start saving to strengthen your financial future.
