Stark County Saves Week Jan. 30- Feb. 6 

---

Building wealth starts when you set a goal and make a plan to reach that goal– whether it’s buying a car, buying a house, or getting out from under your debts. During Stark County Saves Week, residents will be encouraged to assess their savings practices and take action to advance their progress. United Way’s Financial Stability Partnership’s goal is to raise awareness about savings strategies and give greater Stark County residents simple tips on the best ways to save.

Get hundreds of tips on how to save a dollar here, dollar there that quickly add up to substantial savings. Visit the America Saves web site for SAVINGS TIPS.

Many believe that low- and moderate-income families cannot afford to save and build wealth. Yet research shows that there are "savers" and "spenders" in all income classes. While those with modest incomes cannot save as much as the affluent, almost all have the ability to build wealth over time. Through contributions to a workplace retirement program, home purchase, and other savings during their working years most can accumulate six-figure assets. The goal of the campaign is to convince all Americans that they can build wealth and to assist them to do just that.

United Way’s Financial Stability Partnership was created to strengthen communities by identifying and tacking the underlying causes of the financial hardship facing today’s families.  Just as other United Ways, our local Partnership is bringing together cross-sector partners to help lower-income individuals and families achieve financial independence – by  empowering them with the tools and skills necessary to maximize their income, build savings and gain assets.
