Saving and Investing
A person has only 2 choices about what to do with after tax income.
Spend it now or save for the future.
![Page 3: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The opportunity cost of spending money is the interest you could have earned by putting it in some kind of financial investment.
![Page 4: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
2 Types of Investment
Financial Investment: refers to decisions by individuals and businesses to invest money in financial assets such as bank accounts, certificates of deposit, stocks, bonds and mutual funds that earn interest.
![Page 5: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Real Investment: When businesses purchase factories, machinery, tools and equipment. This is the kind of investment we have talked about all semester.
![Page 6: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Types of Financial Investments
1. Savings Accounts: accounts in banks that earn a small rate of interest but on which checks cannot be written.
These are among the safest of all investments.
![Page 7: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
2. Certificate of Deposit: depositors loan money to a bank for a period of time and are paid back with interest. The time period can vary from 1 month to 5 years or more and will pay a little better than a savings account.
![Page 8: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
However, if you withdraw your money before the maturity date, you pay a penalty.
![Page 9: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
3. Bonds: are issued by the government or by companies. You loan them your money for a period of time and are paid back with interest.
![Page 10: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Bonds can be short term, paid over a few months or years or long term, which are repaid over decades. They are less risky than stocks
![Page 11: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
4. Stocks: represent shares of ownership in a corporation. Owners receive a return in 2 ways:
• The firm may pay dividends to its shareholders out of the profits that it earns.
• investors may profit by selling their shares for more than they paid for them; this is called a capital gain.
![Page 12: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Stock performance can be measured by looking at an index like the Dow Jones Industrial Average or the Standard & Poors 500.
• DJIA-a price-weighted average of 30 top stocks traded on the NYSE & NASDAQ
• S&P 500-uses price changes of 500 representative stocks to indicate market performance
![Page 13: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
5. Mutual Funds: a company sells stock in itself to individual investors and then invests the money it receives in stocks and bonds issued by other companies.
![Page 14: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Investing in mutual funds automatically diversifies the investors portfolio and these funds are run by professional money managers.
![Page 15: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
6. 401(K) Plan: a tax deferred investment and savings plan that acts as a personal pension fund for employees for retirement.
(Roth IRA is not tax
deferred…)
![Page 16: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
(401(k)) The employee contributes a certain amount each month into the plan which can be matched by some percentage by the employer. The fund grows, tax deferred, until retirement, at which time it is taxed.
![Page 17: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
7. Individual Retirement Account (IRA): is another long term, tax deferred plan that a person can set up as part of a retirement plan.
(Roth IRA is not tax deferred…)
![Page 18: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Diversification: The spreading out of funds into different kinds of investments in order to minimize risk.
![Page 19: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
a pay yearly taxes on savings.b invest more each year in the
retirement plans.c invest in the retirement
plans for a longer time.dreceive a higher rate of
return on the retirement plans.
Based on the illustration, you would earn more in any of the three retirement plans than you would on basic savings because you would:

Types of Financial Institutions:
Banks: provide a safe means to store earnings. Offers direct deposit, check writing services, debit and credit cards, loans of all sorts, and other services.
![Page 21: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Banks take the money deposited and loan out a portion of it to people who want to borrow.
They charge a higher interest on the loans than they pay to the depositors in order to make a profit. (interest rate spread)
![Page 22: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Credit Union: a nonprofit service cooperative owned by, & operated for, the benefit of its members and the members own and control the institution. Services provided are just like a bank
![Page 23: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Savings & Loan: a depository institution that focuses on savings and home mortgage loans instead of providing other services. Investors will earn a higher savings rate but won’t have easy access
![Page 24: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Payday Loan Company: give out small loans in return for a portion of a person’s upcoming paycheck. Interest rates can be extremely high.
![Page 25: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Risk and Return
Risk: describes a situation in which the outcome is uncertain and a range of results, potentially good and bad, is possible.
![Page 26: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Return: the income or profit generated by an investment divided by the original cost of the investment.
Example:If you put $100 in a bank account and receive $3 a the end of the year, then the rate of return is 3%. (3/100)
![Page 27: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The greater the risk with an investment, the higher the rate of potential return.
![Page 28: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Interest rate--the price paid or received for the use of another person’s money.
It can be calculated in 2 basic ways…
Simple interest or Compound Interest
![Page 29: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Simple interest rate : is calculated only on the original loan amount, (principal).
Example: Deposit Amt = $100, Interest rate
= 5% (5% × $100 = $5)
After year 1 the person would have $105.
After year 2 the person would earn $110
($105 + $5 = $110)
![Page 30: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Compound interest rate: is earned not only on the principal but also on interest earned from previous periods.
Example:
Amount invested = $100, Interest rate = 5%
($100 x 5% = $5)
Year 2 the person would earn $110.25(5% × $105 = $5.25; $105 + $5.25
= $110.25)
![Page 31: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Key is start saving early and be consistent. Compound interest can build considerably over time.
It can be compounded monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annuallyTo estimate how long it will take to double your investment…use rule of 70 (divide 70 by interest rate. Ex: 70/5=14 years)
![Page 32: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

CreditCredit: the ability to borrow money.
• Common forms of consumer credit are car loans, home mortgage loans and credit cards.
• Businesses use credit regularly, either by borrowing from a bank or issuing corporate bonds.
![Page 34: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The government also uses credit when it needs to borrow money to finance its budget deficit.
![Page 35: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• People who can borrow at a reasonable interest rate have good credit
• those who can’t borrow at such rates are said to have bad credit.
• Loans extended for longer periods involve higher interest rates to compensate for greater risk.
![Page 36: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
When comparing loans look at the annual percentage rate (APR) on the loan.
![Page 37: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Short term credit people often use credit cards as a simple and convenient way of paying for purchases.
• If a credit card balance is paid off each month, the borrower doesn’t pay any interest.
![Page 38: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
If the full balance is not paid each month, the borrower begins to accrue interest charges on the unpaid balance and the interest is accrued monthly.Interest rates:
• can be as high as 18%
• can be fixed or variable
![Page 39: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• Credit Cards are unsecured loans, no collateral required therefore interest rates are higher
• Bank loans are secured loans—collateral is required
• Collateral: An asset of value put up against the loan in case of default.
![Page 40: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• Financial institutions look at a persons credit worthiness to decide whether or not to loan money
• credit worthiness--an attempt to determine how well a person will be able to repay a loan. based on annual income, current debt level, repayment history and credit score
![Page 41: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• Credit Bureau’s collect individual credit information & sell it for a fee to banks, mortgage lenders, credit card companies and other financing companies.
![Page 42: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Insurance• Insurance allows a person to
pay to guard against a potentially disastrous event in the future.
• If the negative event does occur, then the insurance will pay certain costs.
The price the insured pays for a policy is the premium…
![Page 43: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• Once a claim is filed the insured must first pay the deductible, then the insurance kicks in.
• If a person wants a smaller premium, they can opt for a higher deductible, or vice versa.
![Page 44: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Types of Insurance1. Health Insurance:

![Page 45: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
2. Life Insurance: provides a payment to your beneficiary if you die to help offset the loss of income. There are different types of life insurance but term life is the most affordable.
![Page 46: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
3. Auto Insurance: provides payments for damages caused in an auto accident.
Ex. Liability, Collision, Theft, Car Rental, Comprehensive, No Fault
This is typically the 1st kind of insurance needed by teenagers.
![Page 47: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
4. Homeowner’s insurance: pays for home repairs in case of fire or storm damage. Typical homeowners policies do not cover flood damage. If you are a renter, you should consider renters insurance.
![Page 48: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
5. Disability Insurance: covers workers who are injured and can’t work anymore. It provides a percentage of your lost income while you are out of work.
There is both short term and long term disability, usually offered through the employer

Human Capital:
The combination of a person’s education, knowledge, experience, health, habits, training and talent.
![Page 50: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
A person who has acquired more human capital will be able to produce more. On an individual level, adding to one’s human capital boosts wages and income over your working lifetime.
![Page 51: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
In general, the 2 factors that boost wages of a particular job are the demand for that service and the supply or training requirements needed for the job.
![Page 52: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Example:
High demand/Low supply = high wages
Low demand/ High supply = low wages
![Page 53: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
![Page 54: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Categories of Labor
Here is a common way to look at how workers are divided according to their skill level.
![Page 55: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
1. Unskilled: workers who work primarily with their hands (ditch diggers, fruit pickers and house cleaners) and earn the lowest wages.
![Page 56: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
2. Semi-Skilled: workers that operate machines that require a minimum amount of training such as lawn mowers, dishwashers or floor polishers.
![Page 57: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
3. Skilled: workers that operate complex equipment and perform tasks with little supervision (carpenters, typists, computer technicians and chefs).
![Page 58: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
4. Professional: workers with the highest level of knowledge based education and managerial skills such as doctors, lawyers, scientists and corporate executives.http://www.econedlink.org/interactives/EconEdLink-interactive-tool-player.php?iid=230&full
![Page 59: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
TaxesTaxes the necessary evil in
order for government to finance it’s various spending
programs.It has been said that the only fair tax is a tax on someone else.
![Page 60: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Criteria for effective taxes
1. Equity: Fairness is subjective, but taxes are considered fairer if they have fewer loopholes– exceptions, deductions and exemptions.
![Page 61: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
2. Simple: Tax laws should be easy to understand.
3. Efficient: Taxes should be easy to administer and collect enough revenue for the government to operate on.
![Page 62: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Types of Taxes
Generally, all taxes can be divided into one of three types.
ProgressiveRegressiveProportional
![Page 63: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Figure 9.3
![Page 64: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
1.Progressive Tax: tax rate increases as income increases, meaning the wealthy pay a higher percentage of their earnings than people less well off.
Our federal income tax system is an example of a progressive tax.
![Page 65: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
You know a tax is progressive because the average tax rate increases as income increases.
Avg. tax rate = total tax paid ÷ total income
![Page 66: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
![Page 67: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
2. Regressive Tax: the tax rate decreases as income increases. This tax tends to hurt the poorer family more than the wealthy family.
An example of this tax is the state sales tax.
![Page 68: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Ex. Poor family has $20,000 income and spends $15,000 on basic necessities with a 5% sales tax. The average tax rate is 3.75% Wealthy family has $100,000 income and spends $40,000 with a 5% sales tax. The average tax rate is 2%.
![Page 69: Unit 5 Personal Finance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168b8550346895ddf9bf4/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
