which retails at $9.95. It certainly opens your eyes about the practicality of the envelope budgeting system and how retiring providian.com comfortably and controlling debt is possible. It has a storybook approach rather than how-to-this how-to-that or motivational Robert Kiyosaki “I promise you riches” sort of book.

One thing that always comes to my mind when I hear the “vitamin vs. pain killer” line is that in the literal markets this analogy addresses, the total market for vitamins is at least as big as the total market for pain killers — and it’s growing much faster.

Ben,

Very insightful comment. I think what it takes to innovate in the world of consumer-facing financial service products is still not well understood by many start-ups. It will be interesting to see if any of these companies can crack the code.

Charles,
Vitamins indeed. In the investment world, a better service usually means better returns. There is no way that any of the mentioned above companies will be able to provide that. That is why Mint is better , as they “SAVE” you money (they don’t, but that’s a different story).
Assuming no start-up can provide better investment returns, I think people use to think that innovation in the field of investment can occur only if you provide:
1. Cheaper means (Zecco) to invest, yet as Zecco is experiencing the cost is not the main factor of people migrating to new brokerage firm, so innovation here won’t get you that far.
2. Easier means to invest – it means more user-centric approach of presenting investment data. I there’s opportunity here, as most people are lost when trying to figure out when and what to invest in.
3. Target non-users. This is a hard one, as most U.S. households are involved in investing in one way or another. However, if you will present them with new investment vehicles, that might change things.
Hope it makes sense.
