That number rises to as much as 90% when you put theory to practice. Following up explanation with practice is key to mastering a skill.

We all know that saving is important and is something that we should be doing. The question is: How do we do it? So I am going to share with you is how to bridge this gap from your intentions to save and your actions. Are you ready?

Here’s number one: harness the power of pre-commitment. Fundamentally, we think about ourselves in two different ways: our present self and our future self. In the future, we’re perfect. In the future, we’re going to save for retirement, we’re going to lose weight, we’re going to call our parents more. But we oftentimes forget that our future self is exactly the same person as our present self. We want you to be able to harness that same power.

Number two: use transition moments to your advantage. We did an experiment with a website that helps older adults share their housing. We ran two ads on social media targeted to the same population of 64-year-olds. In one group, we said, "Hey, you’re getting older. Are you ready for retirement? House sharing can help." In the second group, we got a little bit more specific and said, "You’re 64 turning 65. Are you ready for retirement? House sharing can help." What we’re doing in that second group is highlighting that a transition is happening.

The third and final trick: get a handle on small, frequent purchases. We’ve run a few different studies and found that the number one purchase people say they regret, after bank fees, is eating out. It’s a frequent purchase we make almost every day, and it’s death by a thousand cuts. A shopping apps makes us easier to click something what we want not something what we need. I vowed to make a change. And the next month, I spent the same amount again - no change, because the information alone didn’t change my behavior. I didn’t change my environment. So I gave myself a limit. I can only use the apps three times a week. So get a handle on whatever that purchase is for you, and change your environment to make it harder to do so.

Those are my tips for you. But I want you to remember one thing. As human beings, we can be irrational when it comes to saving and spending and budgeting. But luckily, we know this about ourselves, and we can predict how we’ll act under certain environments. Let’s do that with saving. Let’s change our environment to help our future selves.
