About Save For America
Family First
For more than 40 years, we have been helping families save by enabling their children to save AT SCHOOL through our online banking system, School Savings. More than 3,000,000 children in 7000+ schools have learned to save AT SCHOOL. Through this blog we hope to provide solutions to crucial family financial management issues facing our Save For America School Savings families and others.
When you visit Save For America you will learn how saving affects you and America, how saving and financial literacy can change your life and most important, how to set yourself and your family on the path to prosperity. Financial literacy begins with SAVING. If you follow my steps, you will have the money and time you need to live the life of your dreams. My recommendations are not only based on the science of learning but also on the methods I have successfully utilized in my education programs and with my three children.
Financial Education
While financial literacy is important for the entire family, this blog will focus on financial literacy for children. We will provide articles, tips, and resources to help parents and caregivers teach their children about money management, saving, and budgeting. Our goal is to empower the next generation with the knowledge and skills they need to make informed financial decisions and build a secure financial future.
We will cover topics such as age-appropriate financial education, teaching kids about saving and spending, and introducing concepts like credit and debt. We will also share success stories from families who have implemented these lessons and seen positive changes in their children's financial habits.
Join us on this journey to empower our children with the tools they need to succeed financially. Together, we can create a generation of financially literate individuals who are prepared to navigate the complexities of money management and achieve their financial goals.
Hands-On Saving Practice
As its name implies, School Savings is a bank-at-school program for children. Each week children bring the money they have earned or been provided as an allowance to school to deposit into their saving account at a local bank or credit union. School Savings records these deposits and electronically posts them to the children's accounts through the Federal Reserve Bank saving hand-posting of small deposits by bankers and eliminating the need for a trip to the bank by mom and dad.
If your children are not already participating in School Savings, we recommend you propose it to your school. It is free to the school and all children may participate. The children will need a saving account so you will need to contact a local bank or credit union and ask them to provide the saving accounts for your entire school. Ask them to contact School Savings to get started.
School Savings is a great way to teach your children the value of saving and to help them develop good saving habits. It is also a great way to get them started on the path to financial literacy.
