Have you seen this great website for “America Saves Week”? It has a ton of great information about saving and I especially liked reading about people who have started saving and overcome their financial problems.
Here are some great highlights of the site:

These are just a few of the great pages that are either on the site or linked to from the site. I love the fact that we have an “America Saves Week”. With all the other things we honor and celebrate in our country, it’s nice to see us focusing on financial literacy as well. Now, if we could only get this added to the curriculums in schools!
