 Roy Crawford was browsing the Internet for saving information last February when he stumbled across the America Saves website. He was so impressed by the campaign's savings message that he signed up on the spot, becoming roughly the 100,000th person to do so since the campaign started in 2001.
The 57-year-old Blount County, Tennessee County Clerk said he and his wife came to savings relatively late, having grown tired of living paycheck-to-paycheck. For more about how Roy built his savings and began to help others learn to save, click here.
Okaloosa Saves is part of America Saves and is coordinated by the University of Florida/IFAS Extension-Okaloosa County.
Additional funding provided by: America Saves, Beach Community Bank, Eglin Federal Credit Union, Emerald Coast Foundation, First City Bank, First National Bank of Crestview, Okaloosa Teacher’s Credit Union, Premier Community Bank and Vanguard Bank.
