At Empower, besides helping you stay on top of your money, we try to make recommendations to make your financial lives better. Among them are opportunities for “free money” aka money left on the table by not negotiating for the best rate, not getting the best insurance policy or savings account. We estimate that the average American leaves $450 on the table!

Wow, that’s a lot of $$.

Yes it is a bit hard to believe. So I went back to the numbers and made a tally of the savings we’ve been able to get our users:

With $30,000 saved, we would have:

  • Paid off one average student loan balance (Q4 2016)
  • Paid off credit card balances for 2 US households(2016)
  • Paid off a tenth of the average US mortgage (2016)

So ‘nuff said, the impact of these incremental savings is momentous! And realizing those is easier than ever with a few tabs in Empower.

Curious how much you could save? Try Empower and within minutes, we can tell you how much you are eligible to save ;-)
