New Tool Helps Consumers Turn Loose Change Into Big Bucks
Personal Savings are Finally on the Rise in the U.S. and the Latest Tool From
Capital One and Consumer Action Helps Consumers Maximize Their Savings to Build
Wealth
MCLEAN, Va., June 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- According to new data from the
Department of Commerce, on average, Americans saved 2.4 percent of their
disposable income in April, the highest rate since the 2.7 percent recorded in
August 2003. But while savings rates are improving, Americans still fall far
short of the 10 percent savings most experts recommend. With this in mind,
Capital One and Consumer Action have developed a free new guide, Saving to
Build Wealth: Making Your Money Work for You, which offers savings tips and
strategies designed to help consumers from all income levels increase their
personal wealth and save for the future.
"We've all heard the old adage 'a penny saved is a penny earned' and know that
saving for the future -- or even a rainy day -- is important," said Ken
McEldowney of Consumer Action. "But many people miss out on opportunities to
maximize their investments. We created the Saving to Build Wealth tool to show
consumers that a few small changes can add up to big savings."
The brochure includes information on:
* Establishing a savings plan
* Setting financial goals
* Making the most out of your current savings
* Choosing a savings account to best suit your financial goals
"Most Americans are not actively saving or investing for their future," noted
Diana Don Colby, Director of Financial Education at Capital One. "Saving to
Build Wealth is designed to help consumers take the first step toward making
their money work for them by guiding them through the basics of saving,
investing and the tools available to help them meet their savings goals."
Saving to Build Wealth is a part of the MoneyWi$e series, a national financial
literacy partnership between Capital One and Consumer Action. It is the first
program of its kind to combine free, multilingual financial education materials
with community training and seminars to give consumers at all income levels
both the information and the practical assistance they need to make smart
financial choices. You can access the Saving to Build Wealth brochure online at

with 60¢ postage to Consumer Action Savings, 717 Market St., San Francisco, CA
94103. Please specify which language version is desired: English, Spanish,
