Saving versus Investing

Principal versus Returns
• Principal is the money you put into savings or an investment. Principal comes from money you have set aside when you first start saving and investing.
• Returns are what you earn on the principal.
Visual Aid 7.3
Common Types of Returns• Interest. Interest is the amount a bank, credit union, corporation
or government agrees to pay you for the use of your money. This is expressed as a percentage.
• Dividends. Dividends are a portion of a corporation’s profits given
back to shareholders. Dividends can be cash or more shares. • Increased share value. This is the amount you earn because the
market value of your share is greater now than what you paid for it. Increases in share value increase your portfolio value, but only create income or cash if you sell them. This is called a capital gain. You can also lose money because the value of your investments is less than what you invested in them. This is called a capital loss.

Diversification• Diversification is about making sure your money
is invested in more than one place within a particular asset class.
• For example, you may have money in a savings account for short-term goals, money in a money market deposit account for emergencies and money in a checking account for paying your bills.
• This is diversification of your cash.
Visual Aid 7.23
Time Value of Money
• If I bought something in 2006 for $10, that same item today would take $11.41.
• If something cost $100 in 1994, that same item today would cost around $145.
• Alternatively, something that costs $100 would have likely cost about $68 in 1994.
Visual Aid 7.24
Inflation• Inflation is the gradual increase in the cost of everything.
• In the U.S., the inflation rate on average is 3% a year. The result of inflation is that each year, one dollar buys less than it did the year before.
• With inflation, it takes more money to buy the same item each year.
• Inflation is measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the
Producer Price Index (PPI). • The PPI measures changes in wholesale prices—this is what
businesses sell goods and services to one another for. Generally, this will increase in front of the CPI. The CPI measures the average change in price of a bunch of consumer goods.
Visual Aid 7.25
The Rule of 72• You can figure out how long it will take your money to double at
any given rate of return.
• Divide 72 by the rate of return. This tells you how many years it would take any amount of money to double at that rate of return.
• For example, at 10%, your money would double in 7.2 years.
• This means that it would take 7.2 years for:– $1 to become $2– $100 to become $200– $1,000 to become $2,000
if earning a 10% return.

Unbiased Saving and Investing Information
• Generally, if the organization or person providing the information does not gain from steering you in a particular direction—toward a specific product or service—it is unbiased.
• With investing, there are many people and businesses trying to sell many things. They all have something to gain from selling you specific products or services, some of which may be in your best interest, some which may not be.
• It is always best to learn more about saving and investing from unbiased sources first.
