In conjunction with Cleveland Saves Week from February 22 - March 1, 2009, we encourage you to go to www.YouTube.com/ClevelandSaves to see how Clevelanders save money everyday.
Capt. Rob Eckhardt is the first to admit that he hasn’t always been responsible with money. But less than 10 years after a rocky start to saving, Eckhardt reports that he and his wife are free from credit card debt, have a down payment on a home, and are saving regularly for retirement.
And, as the Military Saves representative for his Air Force squadron, he’s helping others make similar progress. Click here to read more about Rob's savings story.
