He has taken that advice to heart and is now regularly saving.
Saving is important for young adults, Johnnie said. “As young adults, we don’t realize how much money we have our hands on because we’re constantly spending.” He said his parents taught him that “saving is a habit and it’s essential to living.” Those lessons were reinforced in the financial literacy classes Johnnie enrolled in through his school and business program.

Cleveland Saves Week is our initiative aimed at bringing together hundreds of Cleveland area institutions and organizations in a concerted effort to increase awareness. Our goal is to promote greater household savings and reduced debt so that greater Clevelanders are building wealth. Based in part on Money Saves Weeks organized by the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank, it will serve as the pilot for Saves Weeks around the country and, perhaps eventually, inspiration for a National savings month endorsed by the United States Congress. The primary focus of Cleveland Saves Week is to encourage Financial Action – commitments to save, invest and build wealth.
