America Saves Week, what about you?

Okay, so did you know that this is officially “America Saves Week’?  This sobering statistic is why official weeks like this are needed to promote financial literacy and savings:

  • National Savings Needs:  Most Americans do not have adequate savings to meet major emergencies, let alone accumulate enough savings for retirement.  The typical American household has less than $100,000 in net wealth, including home equity and 401k accumulations, and only about $10,000 in net financial assets.  Lower income families have much fewer resources.
