  • Podcast Extra: Saving strategies in a High-Cost Environment
    2026/04/07

    Happy "America Saves Week!"


    Guest: Shikha Narula, Head of Consumer Deposit Products at Bank of America


    Key Takeaways from the Interview:

    • Saving remains a priority—but it’s challenging:
    • ~52% of Americans say saving is a top priority
    • ~72% say inflation and cost of living are impacting finances
    • Automation is one of the easiest wins:
    • Tools like debit round-ups (e.g., “Keep the Change”)
    • Recurring automatic transfers to “pay yourself first”
    • Balance saving with lifestyle (don’t eliminate joy spending):
    • Cut back—not cut out—small treats
    • Identify “joy spending” categories and prioritize intentionally
    • Use the 50/30/20 framework:
    • 50% needs
    • 30% wants
    • 20% savings
    • Make big goals more achievable:
    • Break savings goals into smaller milestones
    • Set deadlines and celebrate progress
    • Use separate accounts for specific goals (reduces temptation)
    • Free up extra cash with small adjustments:
    • Review subscriptions
    • Reduce unnecessary spending (rideshare, etc.)
    • Small changes can compound over time
    • Helpful resources mentioned:
    • America Saves Week
    • BetterMoneyHabits.com
    • Bank of America Life Plan tools
