CINCINNATI, April 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The path to achieving financial milestones like paying for a college education, buying a car, owning a home and retiring at an early age always begins with one step: saving for the future.
A recent study by Fifth Third Bank (NASDAQ: FITB) found many Americans haven't set aside the savings to support their financial goals. In fact, 47 percent of respondents frequently live paycheck to paycheck. The results revealed interesting insight into our nation's approach to saving for the future.
Most are unprepared for the unexpected.
When an unpredicted expense pops up, survey results show Americans aren't prepared with a backup plan.
Americans know how to plan for retirement, but aren't taking that knowledge to the bank.
"Setting aside six months of income for an emergency fund and planning for years of retirement can seem like an impossible task," notes Jada Grandy, senior vice president and Community Reinvestment Act strategies director at Fifth Third. "I advise anyone starting to save to begin with small goals, like putting away $10 each week. As that reserve grows, focus on building an emergency fund with three to six months of living expenses. Saving a little away today can mean a lot is available tomorrow."
Focused on their commitment to provide actionable, practical advice to those seeking financial independence, Fifth Third created its Top Ten Steps to Financial Empowerment, available at www.53.com/life. The Bank is dedicated to financial empowerment and offers its free L.I.F.E. (Lives Improved through Financial Empowerment®) programs to consumers through many ages and stages of life.
