The gap between financial knowledge and financial behaviour is not a willpower gap. It is a neuroscience gap, produced by a brain in which the reward system responds to immediate gratification with a speed and intensity that the prefrontal planning system cannot match. This fully referenced article explores the neuroscience of financial decision-making in the twenties, examines why the brain's architecture makes saving difficult and spending easy, and argues that financial interventions designed to work with the brain's biases are more effective than those that lecture against them.
