How come we didn’t have cool stuff to watch like this in my high school economics class? Oh it’s because they never required an economics class at my school…..

It went along with my new years resolution so I figured I would put it up here as well. And since most the people who read this are under the age of 25, it will apply to most of you.

My new years resolution was to put 10% of each paycheck an investment account.

Start putting some of your money in a savings account! I just got an account at INGDirect that has a rate of 4.5%!! But just putting 10% of each paycheck into a higher yield account like that will pay off in the long run. I’m also doing research on mutual funds and dollar cost averaging. So far I think e-trade will be who I go with, but I’m still looking and reading..

Learn to grow your money on trees.
