CharlotteSaves
All over the Charlotte/Mecklenburg area, people just like you are proving that you don’t have to be rich to build wealth. As members of CharlotteSaves, they are setting financial goals, tracking their spending and taking control of their financial future. Our volunteers and staff can show you how to develop a strategy and put you on the right path to help you build wealth. Remember: start small, think BIG!
Building wealth starts when you set a goal and make a plan to reach that goal. Whatever goal you choose – whether it’s buying a car, buying a house, or getting out from under your debts – learn about proven savings strategies and get simple tips on the best ways to save.

She received disability payments and food stamps, and was pessimistic about her future.
