The Amish community, in general, knows how to save smartly, especially if we compare them to the rest of the U.S. population. For instance, while the average American saves roughly six percent of their monthly income, the average Amish individual saves about twenty percent!
Furthermore, the entire Amish community takes saving very seriously. Author Lorilee Cracker, who wrote a book titled Money Secrets of the Amish: Finding True Abundance in Simplicity, Sharing, and Saving says, “They put aside 20% of their earnings — most of them were just fine. I met this one farmer, Amos, near Bird-In-Hand, Pennsylvania. He had saved $400,000 over the course of 20 years while raising 14 children and renting a farm for around $1,800 a month.”
