Wednesday, February 26, 2020 | Save for the Unexpected
Hashtags of the Day: #Save4TheUnexpected #ASW2020
America is in a Savings Crisis. We all know the stat – “Forty percent of Americans don’t have access to even $400 cash in the case of an emergency.” Additionally, the average debt in collections is just under $400 – so it’s easy to imagine the impact of more Americans having a $500 emergency fund. Today we will offer tips and solutions to #ThinkLikeASaver and encourage our community to save for the unexpected.
Make it a successful day by:
- Driving social conversations around the topic of “Save for the Unexpected” and building an emergency fund. Share the done-for-you social media content from the America Saves Week Toolkit, including using the hashtags of the day: #Save4TheUnexpected, #ASW2020
- Motivating your community to take financial action and take the America Saves pledge or re-pledge. Create or share an in-house solution with your community to aid them in building an emergency fund.
- Encouraging your community to participate in the Action of the Day! Join the #ThinkLikeASaver private Facebook Community, hosted by America Saves to receive daily support and accountability with their savings goals.
Thursday, February 27, 2020 | Save to Retire
Hashtags of the Day: #Save4Retirement #MySSA #ASW2020
Preparing for retirement can easily be pushed into the “someday” category, as we focus on present needs and expenses. In fact, very few Americans have a plan for retirement savings that is adequate for their desired standard of living after they retire. Today our focus is to encourage Americans to save today for tomorrow, and discover just how much they need to save for their golden years.
Make this day successful by:
- Driving social conversations around the topic “Save to Retire.” Share the done-for-you social media content from the America Saves Week Toolkit, including using the hashtags of the day: #Save4Retirement, #MySSA, #ASW2020
- Motivating your community to take financial action and take the America Saves pledge or re-pledge.
- Encouraging your community to participate in the Action of the Day! Create an account on www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount to see what your current estimated monthly benefits will be at the age you retire.
Friday, February 28, 2020 | Save by Reducing Debt
Hashtags of the Day: #ReduceDebt2Save #ASW2020
We talk about savings all the time, but here’s something that you don’t hear as often: paying down your debt IS saving! When you actively reduce your debt you save on interest. When you pay on time, you save on late fees and maintain your credit score – which will save money long-term. Today, we’ll encourage our communities to acknowledge and celebrate reducing your debt as a form of saving and a component of your financial plan.
Make this day successful by:
- Driving social conversations around the topic of saving by reducing debt. Share the done-for-you social media content from the America Saves Week Toolkit, including using the hashtags of the day: #ReduceDebt2Save, #ASW2020
- Motivating your community to take financial action and take the America Saves pledge or re-pledge. Create or share-in house solutions to help your community pay down their debt or develop a plan to reduce debt.
- Encouraging your community to participate in the Action of the Day! Participate in our Facebook Poll shared on the America Saves Facebook Page.
Saturday, February 29, 2020 | Save as a Family
Hashtags of the day: #SaveAsAFamily #ASW2020
The best way to teach great money habits to our children is to model great money habits. While most Americans know the importance of making sound financial decisions, many feel that money management wasn’t taught to them at a young age. Today we’ll encourage our communities to be creative and intentional about finding ways to teach children about money, spending habits, and saving.
Make this day successful by:
- Driving social conversations around the topic of saving by saving as a family. Share the done-for-you social media content from the America Saves Week Toolkit, including using the hashtags of the day: #SaveAsAFamily, #ASW2020
- Motivating your community to take financial action and take the America Saves pledge or re-pledge.
- Encouraging your community to participate in the Action of the Day! Share or document how you save as a family.
- Revisiting the week’s call to actions, including taking the America Saves Pledge, joining the #ThinkLikeASaver Facebook Community, and entering the #ImSavingFor Sweepstakes.

America Saves Week 2020 Campaign Graphics
We had the ability to partner with Michael Walters Agency this year to create 3 distinct campaign looks. We encourage you to use the ones that fit your organization the best!
If you place your branding on the images, please use white space for your color branding and a white/black logo if placed over images. Please keep them slightly smaller in relation to the size of the America Saves Week logo for look cohesiveness. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at save@americasaves.org
