Read the above yesterday, and saw this article today:

Cellphone Reminders Boost Savings Balances - WSJ.com


WASHINGTON—Cellphone text messages: bad 4 grammar, good for savings?

A new study by a group of economists looking at why people save money found that simply sending out cellphone reminders increased savings balances by 6%.

The study challenges the idea that people don't have enough self-control to save. Instead, the problem may be that they just aren't paying attention, said Dartmouth University economics professor Jonathan Zinman, one of the study's four authors.
