  1. Mr. Speaker, I come to the floor in support of House Resolution 1082, supporting the goals and ideals of the fourth annual America Saves Week. The economy in the last couple of years has increased everyone's awareness of the need to take control of their personal finances. Rather than spending more than they have coming in, households are making a concerted effort to save. Learning to be a disciplined saver is the key to building wealth. It really does not make a difference how much your paycheck is each month if you're not saving a portion of it for the future. Most importantly, we should be able to teach our kids how to save. They should be able to understand the concept of money and investment in early childhood. This will prepare them to learn money management, especially as they grow older and begin to think about credit cards, car loans, and mortgages. I also have legislation that will provide grants to programs and financial literacy education for young adults and families, as it is of utmost importance we begin the financial literacy learning process early in life. I applaud this resolution's core principles.2 sources2010govinfo.gov
