SDCCU presents webinars focused on the importance of saving as part of SDCCU’s Financial Wellness Wednesdays

SAN DIEGO, Calif., (October 8, 2024) – San Diego County Credit Union® (SDCCU®), one of Southern California’s largest locally-owned financial institutions, is committed to educating the community on the importance of saving to help build a foundation for a successful financial future through its support of National Savings Day on October 12, 2024. To celebrate, SDCCU is offering educational webinars focused on saving at various stages of life as part of Financial Wellness Wednesdays.

According to Bankrate, less than half of U.S. households report they would be able to pay for an unexpected $1,000 emergency expense. The study also finds that one in three U.S. adults have more credit card debt than money in an emergency savings account. That’s up from 51 percent in 2023 and the highest since 2018.

“National Savings Day is an important day, given the continued struggle with inflation and decline in savings. We are happy to celebrate this day by sharing valuable resources that focus on the importance of saving,” said Teresa Campbell, SDCCU president and CEO. “Creating healthy financial habits is a cornerstone for setting up a future of financial success. No matter your income or stage of life, everybody can participate.”

The webinar series throughout the month focuses on savings and is part of Financial Wellness Wednesdays, an ongoing program hosted by SDCCU to help provide the community access to free financial wellness information. Upcoming topics, dates and times can be found at sdccu.com/fww.
