Commit to saving successfully during America Saves Week! This year’s theme is A Financially
Confident You. You can increase your financial confidence by building healthy saving habits and
taking advantage of resources available to support your financial stability.
America Saves Week, which runs from February 27 through March 3, is a great opportunity to
learn about good financial habits and assess your own saving status. It’s also a perfect time to
create a plan, start saving, and begin your journey toward financial stability.
Planning and saving are key to a successful retirement. The earlier you start saving for
retirement, the better off you will be in the future. People who have a plan are twice as likely to
save effectively. We encourage you to pledge to save for America Saves Week at
www.americasavesweek.org. Visit www.ssa.gov/retirement for useful information to help you
plan for your retirement.
It’s never too early in your career to begin saving. Our website, www.ssa.gov/people/earlycareer,
has resources that can help young workers secure their today and tomorrow. Share our
infographic, Anytime is the Right Time to Save for Your Future, that provides helpful information
about saving at www.ssa.gov/benefits/assets/materials/retirement/EN-05-10549.pdf.
The sooner you start saving, the more your money can grow. Please share this information
with someone you love.
