The Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance’s Securities Division is dedicated to ensuring our great nation’s service members and their families have the resources they need to increase and further enhance their financial stability.

That’s why we’re proud to share that Miliary Saves Week is April 24-28, 2023!

Military families are vital to Tennessee’s economy, and this week serves as a fantastic opportunity to remind service members and their families of the importance of financial stability.

Military Saves is dedicated to helping servicemembers, their families, veterans, caregivers, and the entire military community at-large build financial confidence.

This Military Saves Week we’ll join together to elevate a global conversation that encourages military families to take control of their financial future. No matter where service members are on their financial journey, they’ll clearly see the steps they can take now that will inform and shore up their financial stability.

Each day of Military Saves Week will have its own theme that touches on five important areas of financial readiness.

Weekly Themes

Day 1: Saving Automatically
Day 2: Saving for the Unexpected
Day 3: Saving for Major Milestones
Day 4: Paying Down Debt is Saving
Day 5: Saving at Any Age

We encourage all consumers but especially our military families to use this time to create a strong financial plan or review an existing one.

Make a pledge to yourself and create a simple saving plan that works. Take the Military Saves Pledge here.
