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 looking to New York Governor Kathy Hochul to sign A3213-A/S5395-A, which would strengthen New York’s Secure Choice Savings Program and make saving for the future easier for everyone.
