A recent study, commissioned by Consumer Credit Counseling Service, revealed that overall consumer debt has increased by 38% for households at all income levels over the last year. Here in Utah, revolving debt has quadrupled as savings rates have steadily declined. The households in our community are taking on more debt and saving less than ever before. To combat these startling statistics Utah Saves has organized our fifth annual event – Utah Saves Week, February 21 -28, 2010. This effort is a local offshoot of the America Saves campaign, and is being organized by United Way of Salt Lake, Utah State University Extension, AAA Fair Credit Foundation, Community Action Agencies of Utah, and various other community organizations across the state. Become a Utah Saver so you can attend an event near you!
