“MAKING BANK”
2017-2018 Virginia FCCLA Leadership
Foundation Mini-Grant Recipient
Our Concerns:
Less than half of all Americans have $1000 in their savings account. 3-6 months of expenses are needed as a cushion and all through life there are big ticket items you must save for as well: cars, college, buying a house, etc. Americans don’t save enough but the younger you start the more successful you can be!
