America Saves Week (Feb. 22-26) is a good opportunity to ask yourself:
- What are my retirement goals?
- Do I have enough savings to weather a financial emergency?
- Has the COVID-19 pandemic affected my investment plans?
Fidelity and TIAA, U-M’s trusted partners for its Basic Retirement Plan, can help you answer these questions and better prepare yourself for the future you want. They’re two of many corporate, nonprofit and government organizations across the U.S. that have joined America Saves Week to encourage all to save for their futures.
