It took me two years to cancel that magazine subscription.

And I'm sure I'm not alone.

You probably have some type of subscription

that you know you should cancel.

So the critical piece in all of this is to get rid of this belief

that financial security is just a problem that we can teach away.

In the US, for example,

we spend nearly 700 million dollars every year on financial education programs,

yet a team of researchers have found

that these programs explained only 0.1 percent

of the variance in financial behaviors.

Not zero, but pretty close to it.

Meanwhile, 20 states mandate financial literacy classes in high school,

but studies have found that unless these programs are well-implemented,

they are unlikely to have any effect on a student's future credit score

or their likelihood to invest.

A more significant predictor of how well you manage your finances

is your general ability to do math.

From all of this, I've learned that behavior change

is not an educational pursuit.

It's an environmental one.
