Welcome to Missouri Saves

Missouri Saves helps individuals and families save and build wealth. This program assists those who wish to pay down debt, build an emergency fund, save for a home, save for an education, or save for retirement. 

Research shows that there are "savers" and "spenders" in all income classes. While those with modest incomes cannot save as much as the affluent, almost all have the ability to build wealth over time. Through contributions to a workplace retirement program, home purchase, and other savings, during their working years most can accumulate six-figure assets. The goal of the campaign is to convince all Americans that they can build wealth and to assist them in doing so.
