A recent study out of Yale, Harvard and Dartmouth Universities showed that folks who regularly received text messages reminding them that saving money can help them reach personal financial goals as well as offer other benefits—for instance, qualify them for a fee-free checking account—squirreled away nearly 16% more than folks who didn’t receive text message reminders. To start making your pennies add up, schedule text messages about the value of saving money and easy ways to save to be sent to your cell phone from saveeveryway.com. The service is free; usual text message charges apply.
