The Week provides an opportunity for all of us to set aside some time to review our finances and look for ways to improve our financial lives.

1) Set your goal – What is it you want to achieve: retirement, child’s education, emergency savings?

2) Develop a plan – What are the steps you will need to take to achieve your goal?

3) Save automatically – Contact your financial institution, find out which product is suitable for your goal, and set-up automatic savings.

Recently Arthur C. Brooks wrote an article in the Op-Ed Section of the Wall Street Journal in which he recalled the now famous 1972 Stamford psychologist who did an ingenious experiment. He placed a marshmallow in front of young children and told them if they wait fifteen minutes before eating the marshmallow they would receive a second one as a reward. Thus, for the investment of fifteen minutes they could have two marshmallows instead of one. About two thirds of the children failed the experiment as they desired immediate gratification and gobbled up the single marshmallow right away. What are we doing to teach our children to save?
