  1. Well chapter one.....
    pg.2 well it tells you pretty much that if you have stocks and you put them away in the bank you will pretty much get more money out of it later because of interest and such.
    what chapter one pretty much talk's about is mainly if you save your money or stocks you will have more later on down the road and it just keeps adding.
    well Chapter 2......
    what this is talking about is how being wealthy now is different then what it was back then in the past because of the way the economy and how its alot different and pretty much everything now is different than what it was because the prices are more than expensive now.

  21. i learned that when you let interest and investment and time combine to compound are powerful tools

  22. If you invest your money early and let it grow over a large number of years then you will make a good amount of money so it is generally a good idea for people to invest if they do it wisely. If they don't do it wisely than it could lead them into a world of trouble.

    Chapter One: This chapter tells us that if you invest up $2000 dollars each year for 10 years, you will have over $5,000,000 in 55 years. If you invest $2000 every year until you're 55, you will have over $8,000,000. This sounds pretty good, but it would take quite a while to see any benefits out of the investments. What if the company you invest in crashes or goes bankrupt? Then you would loose it all. I wonder how much you could make putting it into a savings account...

    I also think that even though everyone says they would invest $2000 if they received that amount randomly, I think that is more of ideology then what would actually happen. I think most would more than likely spend the money, either for entertainment or on a shopping spree, or for whatever else.

  35. Actually, I am quite an avid saver when it comes to money. One of my most valuable qualities. Other than being on Iowa State Universitys curling team of course...

  36. So econ class, I am thinking some of you have grasped the concept that saving is the thing to do? But, how do you make sure it happens? No one has laid out a plan of how they will do it. "Most people don't plan to fail, they just fail to plan".

    Where are you going to put this money? Come on, if it was this easy, everyone would be a millionaire wouldn't they. If I am reading this correctly, say investing $2,000 a year = millionaire status later. That is only $166.67 per month.

    You all have a major advantage over Mr. Davis and myself, do any of you know what it is?

    Great book, I wish I would have been exposed to this thinking earlier in my life. Mr. Dicks

    Chapter 2: This chapter has a chart about how much money it would take to make someone feel rich in 1984 and today. It's funny that in the past, 28% of them said that $100,000 would make them feel rich, while in 1999 only 2% of them said the same thing. It also mentions that a lot of people may be rich, but do not go around showing off their money. Many only see money as security and a degree of freedom in their lives.

  38. @Mr. Dicks. That's something I was thinking about as well. What company should you invest your money in? What if you invest all that money and then the company goes under?

    ReplyDelete
  39. Mr. Dicks the advantage we have over you and Mr. Davis is that we are younger and we could invest our money and later on in life become millionaires, its just one of the quirks of being younger n_n
