How Are You Saving Money? Send Us Your Stories
Calling all teens. Please help us help other young people be smart money managers. In 250 words or less, we want you to tell us your story about how you're saving more, spending less, shopping smarter, or otherwise managing your money. Also tell us what you've learned from your experience that other young people would find useful. Some of the best stories or tips may be included in an upcoming issue of our quarterly publication FDIC Consumer News, so that other students around the country can learn from you!
Please send your stories by e-mail to communications@fdic.gov and put "Savings Success Stories" in the subject line. If you don't have access to e-mail, write a letter to the FDIC, Office of Public Affairs, 550 17th Street, NW, Room 7100, Washington, DC 20429. Don't worry—we won't publish names without permission. But we do ask that, when you write to us, include your name, address and phone number (in case we need to ask you a question), and your age. Send us your success stories today!
