What if you could save more money by texting someone?
And… it's FREE. You can participate at no cost to you.
It's like personal training for your bank account.
As you text your spending coach throughout the day (e.g., purchased lunch for $10… just paid $17 for a taxi…) you become more aware of your purchases. And combined with thoughtful questions & suggestions from your coach, you gain a new level of insight into your financial life.
This all started when my buddy Chris Williams noticed something.
His friend told him that she had "accidentally" acquired $10,000 of credit card debt.
How do you accidentally get into that much debt?
Being a good entrepreneur, he did what any hypothesis creating scientist would do… he created a test.
Before every purchase, she would text him the details of the expense, and wait to hear back from him before pulling the trigger.
She agreed to the experiment, and over the next few weeks she consistently texted about each purchase.
…something interesting was going on here.
It was around this time that Chris got in touch with me, and together, we launched SaveWithSMS.
The experiment has evolved since Chris's initial test. SWSMS participants are NOT texting us for permission to buy things, they simply report purchases to us.
To be clear: as a SWSMS participant, you are NOT asking us for permission to buy things.
Your job is to text us about purchases. Not get permission.
Your Spending Coach ≠ your boss.
What we're asking for is still kind of crazy if you think about it though. We're asking people to text us (the Spending Coaches) about every purchase they make throughout the day.
We fully recognize the craziness of this project, but we also think it could help you save a boatload of money.
Right now, we have 8 people enrolled in our project. We're hearing from more people each day, so we expect to have a decent sized group in the coming weeks.
If you join the SaveWithSMS project… you'll get 1-on-1 accountability with a Spending Coach.
Just back and forth texting.
