Americans and Saving Join us for a discussion about Americans and how they save money.  Many don't think they have enough money to save, or don't have any "extra" money to put away.  But now, one group is saying that even members of the "working poor" classification can find a way to save and improve their economic situation.  We'll talk to a Federal Reserve Economist, a Wachovia Savings Director and a representative from a non-profit program called America Saves about what anyone who wants to save can do to increase their wealth.
