No matter how hard we try, humans aren’t great at making financial decisions. On a fundamental level, we’re programmed to live in the here and now, so it’s no wonder we struggle with planning for the future.
The Challenge Lab was an ongoing interactive content platform designed to help people identify, understand and overcome the psychological barriers that get in the way when trying to set ourselves up for the long term. Rooted in behavioral insights, we created dozens of tools and experiences that got people thinking about their own futures in a whole new way.
