(Oct. 12, 2021) - It’s National Savings Day – the one day a year set aside to remind us of the importance of saving and reflect on our own savings habits. At AARP, we don’t need a national holiday to remind us just how vital saving for the future is. We know that saving for retirement is one of the most important things you can do for your future, and we work 365 days a year to provide resources to help you plan and grow your savings. But, we can’t do it alone. That’s why this National Savings Day, we are calling on New Jersey to implement the New Jersey Secure Choice Savings Program to make saving for the future easier for everyone.
AARP New Jersey released its 2021 Video Voter Guide today, featuring gubernatorial candidates, Jack Ciattarelli (R) and Governor Phil Murphy (D). Each candidate answered the same four questions on issues that count to older New Jerseyans, including lowering prescription drug prices, helping residents stay in their homes as they age, enhancing retirement security, and making the state a better place to grow older.
