Cellphone Reminders Boost Savings Balances - WSJ.com
WASHINGTON—Cellphone text messages: bad 4 grammar, good for savings?

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.
