Get Financially Prepared — Save by Reducing Debt

Did you know? Paying down debt, is a form of saving! Actively reducing your debt means you’re saving on interest, avoiding late fees, and maintaining or increasing your credit score. Access to both credit and an emergency fund can pay off in many ways, especially in case of a disaster or emergency.

Expect the Unexpected — Pledge to Save

If ever there was a year to drive home how important saving for emergencies is, 2020 was it. The “unexpected” can run the gamut, including an interruption in work, an illness, or a natural disaster. A flooded basement, for instance, may require several days off work to deal with the cleanup, plus expenses related to the cleanup and possible replacement of lost items.

Prepare for Emergencies — Save for the Unexpected

The past year has taught us that we have to be as prepared as possible for the unexpected. While we all have future savings goals, having an emergency fund to support emergency for needs, like recovering from a flood or something else nature dishes out. Take control of your finances and make a savings plan for when disaster strikes. Invest in your safety by setting aside money for the unexpected. It’s America Saves Week!

Prepare for Emergencies — Save Automatically

You never know when a disaster or other emergency will happen. Saving is the best financial defense against the unexpected. You can prepare by setting aside money in a rainy day fund. A little bit at a time can go a long way. Save automatically — have a portion of your income automatically deposited into a savings account and take small steps to be ready when a disaster strikes.
