Military Saves Week (February 23 – February 28, 2015), part of the DoD Financial Readiness Campaign, is a chance for servicemembers and their families to assess their own saving status and take financial action. Studies show that having a savings plan with specific goals can have beneficial financial effects, regardless of income level. The Military Saves Week theme ‘Set a Goal. Make a Plan. Save Automatically.’ encourages individuals to do just that.
This Military Saves Week, join the more than 180,000 people who have pledged to save by taking the Military Saves Pledge. Already taken the pledge? Military Saves encourages you to recommit to your savings goal and re-pledge today.
When savers take the Military Saves pledge they can receive:
- Free subscription to the monthly Military Saves e-Newsletter
- Free myFICO credit score for servicemembers and their spouses courtesy of FINRA Investor Education Foundation
- Quarterly e-newsletters from America Saves
Savers can also get tips by following Military Saves on Facebook and Twitter and by reading the Military Saves blog. Take a picture and post it on Facebook and tag @MilitarySaves to show everyone your savings goal.
