The Missouri Department of Higher Education & Workforce Development (MDHEWD) is partnering with the Missouri State Treasurer’s Office to promote America Saves Week.

A news release says America Saves Week is an annual call to action for Americans to save for the future. America Saves Week runs through Saturday, February 27.

Throughout the week, MDHEWD will promote smart savings for Missouri families, as well as provide budgeting and savings tips for high school and college students to help set them on a firm financial footing.

Each day, MDHEWD and the Treasurer’s Office will use social media to promote the importance of personal savings and highlight tools to help Missourians achieve their financial goals.

Missouri Treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick says, “America Saves Week is the perfect opportunity for us to partner with the Department of Higher Education & Workforce Development to spread awareness about the importance of saving money. With our MO ABLE and MOST 529 plans, as well as our Financial Literacy Portal, the Missouri State Treasurer’s Office offers tools to help Missourians save their hard-earned money and plan for a stronger financial future.”
