Military Saves Week (February 23 – February 28, 2015), part of the DoD Financial Readiness Campaign, is a chance for service members 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.
During Military Saves Week, be proud to join forces with the other 180,000 people who have also 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.
Military Saves Week encourages:
- Saving a portion of each paycheck
