Your kids can help you save (honest!)

“Allowing an image, custom name and a goal on a savings pot provides visual reinforcement and encouragement, reminding customers why they made that initial positive decision.

I have a savings pot with a smiling picture of my daughter on it, there’s no way I’m dipping into that one compared to the ‘rainy day’ pot I raid semi often.”

Jerome's notes

Sometimes, we need a little help from our friends (and family), to remind us of and help reach our goals. In India it's been found that savings were boosted when workers were given their money in envelopes with pictures of their kids on it. They have to tear that picture in order to get the money!
