America Saves
America Saves encourages individuals and families to take the America Saves pledge to promote personal savings. America Saves, a campaign managed by the nonprofit Consumer Federation of America, seeks to motivate, encourage and support low- to moderate-income households in achieving year-round financial wellness. They provide free financial tools and resources to help consumers take charge of their finances and manage money more effectively.
The Better Education About Money for Students (BEAMS) Program is promoting the America Saves Week as an opportunity for our University of Idaho community to practice good savings behavior through signing a voluntary pledge. We encourage all Vandals to: Set a Goal. Make a Plan. Save Automatically.
