But this new restaurant just opened down the street, or you really could use a weekend away, and you just don\u2019t have the willpower to resist some short-term gratification.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-smg-jwplayer-video\"><atype-video-jwplayer nostick=\"true\" playlisturl=\"https:\/\/cdn.jwplayer.com\/v2\/playlists\/fCzRqMW8?tags=64a34add-fc24-4939-9fcd-64d81e38f8b3\" poster=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/video-poster-64a34add-fc24-4939-9fcd-64d81e38f8b3.png\" aspectratio=\"16 \/ 9\" mute autostart=\"false\"><\/atype-video-jwplayer><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you find yourself lacking in willpower when it comes to meeting long-term financial goals, you\u2019re not alone. The good news is there\u2019s an easy solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Use a commitment device<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commitment devices help us lock into good habits we might otherwise struggle to stick with. For example, if you find yourself spending extra cash too often, signup to have money automatically deducted from your paycheck or checking account before you can spend it. With time, you\u2019ll be closer to your financial goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main reason commitment devices work is our brains are wired in two different ways: one set of wiring for our short-term selves, and another for our long-term selves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The long-term wiring helps us do what\u2019s good for ourselves in the future, while the short-term wiring often wants us to enjoy ourselves in the moment. Signing up for future deductions takes short-term, impulse spending out of the equation and locks us into a good habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>A question of willpower<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of us have more than others, and some days we have more willpower than other days. With commitment devices we take our level of willpower out of the equation, so \u201cevery month we don\u2019t have to force ourselves through an act of will to make the right decision,\u201d says Navy Federal Corporate Economist Robert Frick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You likely can link accounts to make these automatic transfers through your employer, or through your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navyfederal.org\/account-management\/transfers.php\">bank or credit union<\/a>. All it takes is a little paperwork today to put yourself on the road to higher savings or lower debt tomorrow. Frick adds that debt can be particularly hard to pay down, because sometimes it\u2019s a source of shame. But, he says, if you can imagine your long term self out of debt, how great that\u2019s going to feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Automatic deductions are a classic example of a commitment device, but there are others. For example, you can write a check to a cause you really dislike, and hand it to a friend with the instructions to mail that check if you haven\u2019t reached your goal. The psychology behind this is distaste is so powerful an emotion you\u2019ll do just about anything not to experience it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Get by with a little help from your friends<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another way to lock in a goal is to announce it publicly to a group of people you know, and regularly update your progress to them. That will give you not only a dose of peer pressure, but also some peer support<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And to make that check commitment device work even better, make it a contest. Have your friend that\u2019s holding your check send you a check for a cause they don\u2019t like that you\u2019ll mail if they don\u2019t reach their goal. A little competition can be very motivating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a number of websites that can help you with both the peer and punishment types of commitment devices. Some have coaches that monitor your progress, and others make you pay only if you don\u2019t meet your goals. Just do a search for \u201conline commitment devices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re looking for more ways to meet your financial goals, don\u2019t hesitate to partner with your bank or credit union. There\u2019s a good chance they have resources <a href=\"https:\/\/makingcents.navyfederal.org\/\">online<\/a> and would be happy to work with you to meet your financial goals. Working with a financial institution you trust can give you confidence along your savings journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":84929,"menu_order":0,"template":"single-native-legacy","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":"11"},"advertiser":[3439],"class_list":["post-47707","native","type-native","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","advertiser-navy-federal"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"ERYRJDO3NNBEZNIJH23A5QZ7MA","arc_canonical_url":"\/native\/navy-federal\/2019\/09\/06\/trust-your-future-self-to-reach-financial-goals\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"native-layout","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Trust your future self to reach financial goals - Navy Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"You have some extra money left over after paying your bills, and you know you should sock it away in savings or use it to pay down your credit card.
