Start Small and Think Big
Alaska Savers are joining the national celebration for America Saves Week Feb. 22-29 to create a culture of savings. It’s all about setting a goal and making a plan. Free tools, resources and support offerings help Alaskans put their plan in place and stick to it.
It all starts with a personal pledge to save. Whether you want to save for an emergency, a new baby, a vacation or anything in between, Alaska Savers are prompted to think about their financial goals—and then figure out what it will take to reach them. As an Alaska Saver, you are provided full access to saving strategies, budget worksheets, everyday savings tips and more.
It’s not always easy to set money aside. But here’s the best part: everyone can be a saver. Even if you start by just saving loose change, you have taken a small step toward reaching big goals. The key is to shrink debt and grow savings over time. The less debt you have, the more you control your financial goals and financial health.
Getting Started
There are lots of ways to participate in America Saves Week, including taking the pledge and assessing your progress. Webinars with more information and resources will take place throughout the week, as well.
