Veterans, you’re invited to a global conversation to encourage you to take control of your financial future. No matter where you are on your financial journey, uncover the steps you can take now to improve your financial stability. 

In continuation of our annual support of the previous Military Saves Month event, AAFMAA Wealth Management & Trust LLC (AWM&T) is proud to participate in the first annual Veteran Saves Week. We hope that our Members find value as we feature topics to promote financial wellness for Veterans, their caregivers, and their families.

Here’s what you need to know about the inaugural Veteran Saves Week, a free, virtual event packed with financial resources exclusively for the military community.

What Is Veteran Saves?

Veteran Saves is dedicated to helping Veterans save money, reduce debt, and build wealth. It is a program of America Saves, an initiative of the nonprofit organization Consumer Federation of America (CFA). 

You’re encouraged to take advantage of the benefits that accompany the Veteran Saves Pledge (form below). Participants quickly articulate their goals and pledge to follow simple strategies to support their financial journey. From there, they’ll receive short email and text reminders, resources, and tips to stay on track.

Announcing the Inaugural Veteran Saves Week

Launching November 12th-15th 2024, Veteran Saves Week focuses on the unique financial journey of transitioning servicemembers and Veterans through four program pillars: Financial Stress, Housing, Employment, and Banking. 

Each day of Veteran Saves Week focuses on one of four critical areas of financial wellness:

  • Monday, November 12: Choosing the Right Financial Institution 
  • Tuesday, November 13: Saving for Competing Priorities
  • Wednesday, November 14: All About Housing
  • Thursday, November 15: Navigating Military to Civilian Employment Financial Transition
