So you should save

• So once youre convinced you should save, where
  do you put your money? How do you find these
  great returns and not lose money when the stock
  market nosedives?

16
Investment options

• Mattress
• Savings account
• CDs
• Bonds
• Stocks
• Mutual funds
• Retirement accounts
• College savings accounts

17
The mattress plan

• Some people keep all of their earnings in their
  house, whether in a piggy bank, buried in the,
  garden, or sewn into a mattress. This is because
  they distrust banks.
• RISK ANALYSIS
• Your money is losing value to inflation, and you
  could lose it in a robbery. No FDIC insurance for
  the mattress.

18
Savings account

• A savings account is a basic bank account that
  pays interest. The average savings account is
  paying about 0.6 right now.
• RISK ANALYSIS
• Money in savings accounts earns interest and is
  FDIC insured. However, the interest rate is often
  lower than inflation, so the real interest rate
  is negative.

19
Certificate of Deposit

• A CD is like a savings account, but you promise
  to leave the money there for a set period, like
  12 months. 12-month CDs are paying 2 right now.
  They are FDIC insured.
• RISK ANALYSIS
• Similar to a savings account, but less liquid.

20
Bonds

• A bond is a loan to a business or the government.
  There are many, many kinds of bonds, from junk
  bonds to Treasury Bills.
• RISK ANALYSIS
• Bonds are riskier than CDs but safer than stocks.
  They are not FDIC insured. EE bonds are paying
  1.5 Most junk bonds earn 5 a year.

21
Stocks

• Stock is a share of ownership in a corporation.
  As you know, stock prices fluctuate wildly.
• RISK ANALYSIS
• Over time, stocks usually outperform bonds. But
  in any given year, they may lose a lot more
  value. They are not FDIC insured.

22
Stocks v. Bonds

• From Naked Economics
• From 1945-1997, a portfolio of 100 stocks earned
  12.9 annual return.
• In the same period, a portfolio of 100 bonds
  earned 5.8 annual return.
• BUT.

23
Stocks v. Bonds

• In its worst year, the stock portfolio lost 26.5
  of its value. OUCH.
• The bond portfolio never lost more than 5 of its
  value in a single bad year.
• Also, the stock portfolio had negative annual
  returns 8 times, while the bond portfolio only
  lost money once.
• Risk is rewarded, if you have a tolerance for
  it.

24
Mutual Funds

• A mutual fund is a professionally managed pool of
  money. The manager invests in a mix of stocks,
  bonds and the money market, depending on the
  level of risk.
• RISK ANALYSIS
• Less risky than individual stocks because youre
  not putting all your eggs in one basket. However,
  managers rarely beat the SP 500 index. Not FDIC
  insured.

25
Retirement Accounts

• Retirement accounts include pensions, 401(k)s,
  403(b)s, IRA accounts, etc.
• RISK ANALYSIS
• Retirement accounts make it easy for you to set
  money aside, usually tax free. Risk level depends
  on the type of account, but not FDIC insured. An
  essential first step in retirement planning.

26
College Savings Accounts

• New financial tools to help parents afford
  skyrocketing tuition. Some include pre-payment.
  Most are tax-deferred.
• RISK ANALYSIS
• Not FDIC insured, carries the same risk/return as
  mutual funds, but with some tax benefits. Can
  only be spent on college costs.

27
Being Smart with your

• To summarize, youll have more money in the
  future if you start saving now. Its better to be
  the lender -- thats what you are when you invest
  -- than the borrower, because YOU get paid the
  interest.
