America Saves is a non-profit organization that uses behavioral economics and social marketing to motivate, encourage, and support everyday Americans in saving money, reducing debt, building wealth, and creating better financial habits. Using these resources, we create research-based education through various innovative programs.
UT Extension Sevier County plans to encourage individuals to conduct a financial check-in, which will allow them to gain a clear view of their finances, set savings goals, and create a plan to achieve them.
What kind of spender or saver are you? Do you need budgeting advice?

You can drop your bank off at various locations in Sevier County. Details are to be attached soon.
Please drop off your banks at one of these libraries between February 24th and March 10th.
Local contestants will be judged on March 11th.
County winners and best-of-show will be entered into the Statewide Piggy Bank Pageant held each spring with winners being selected by both popular vote and by state specialists.
