Notes de l'éditeur

  1. The lure of credit card offers and check-cashing stores, combined with a lack of money management education, sets many up for financial crises that can last a lifetime. 
  2. Refer students to their handout. One way to engage students is to talk about Kelly and John as if you are telling a story. For example , “Kelly learned about financial literacy when she was in high school so she understood the benefits of saving early. As soon as she graduated from college, Kelly started saving. John graduated from college with a huge credit card debt and it took him years to pay off the debt. He didn’t know how important it is to start saving early so he waited until he reached age 35.”
  3. The above example assumes an average annual return of 8% compounded annually . Kelly saves $100 per month for 10 years starting at age 22 . This is a total savings of $12,000 over ten years. By the age of 65, these savings grow to $253,199 . John starts saving $100 dollar per month at age 35, but continues for 30 years , instead of 10 years. John’s total savings amount to $36,000, three times as much as Kelly’s. Still, by the age of 65, John’s savings grow to only $148,015 . Ask students to imagine what they can save if they start now. Additional Discussion Suggestion: The power of 72: To figure out how long it will take your money to double at a given interest rate: Divide the interest rate into 72. Your answer is roughly the number of years needed for your investment to double. Like this: 72/interest rate = years
  4. Go through each item carefully. You have plenty of time for this seminar. Do you have a personal story or experience to share with students? The minimum monthly payment is calculated as 3% of the balance so it will decrease as the balance decreases. The table illustrates what happens if the minimum is paid each month. You may also want to use this as an opportunity to talk about Predatory Lending and other unfair lending practices. Predatory lending is the practice of convincing borrowers to agree to unfair and abusive loan terms. Although predatory lenders are most likely to target racial minorities and the elderly, victims of predatory lending are represented across all demographics. Predatory lending often occurs on loans backed by some kind of collateral, such as a car or house, so that if the borrower defaults on payment, the lender can profit by selling the repossessed or foreclosed property. Other types of lending sometimes also referred to as predatory include payday loans, credit cards, and overdraft loans, when the interest rates are considered unreasonably high.
  5. Caution participants not to be taken by seemingly attractive financing offers from less reputable sources. That is how predatory lending takes place. Stress the difference between high and low scores, especially for total interest paid.
  6. To engage the students in this presentation, ask a few students if they have ever borrowed money from someone else. Ask if they set any terms for repayment or interest. Then ask if they have every loaned money to someone else. Were there any terms for repayment? You can lead this into a discussion about borrowing history. Would these students loan money to that person again?
