Military Saves Week
21 Feb-27 Feb 2010
Military Saves is a DoD-wide financial readiness campaign to persuade military service and family members, as well as the wider military community, to reduce debt and save money, thereby ensuring personal financial readiness and positively impacting the nation's personal/household savings rates. |
Military Saves encourages:
• Developing a personal financial plan
• Establishing good credit
• Saving a portion of each paycheck
• Enrolling in the Service members' Group Life Insurance, the Thrift Savings
Plan, and, when eligible, the Savings Deposit Program.
