  • Nice video, but seriously, who has $1200 a month to add to their bank accounts?

  • Try stock, First time by putting 500 or 1000 dollers, as your skills of managing is grown, add more money(e.g. $2000) choosing a good stock company may get you rich way faster than bank interest.

  • They dont factor in inflation, and the fact that the APY is .15% (in hawaii that is, american savings).

  • Nones money is safe with the banksters.

  • yay

  • These are common sense steps, but I guess there's people wh are brilliant bu have no common sense.

  • i just watch for the pictures :3

  • A perfect way for more then a $300 save is lowering your insurance rate. You can find your insurance rate by location over here:

  • ...@#$%@#

  • I love these vids! It's so easy, I feel stupid.

  • cool

  • Is this video made for retards?

  • good

  • October 2009- now is the time to invest in the stock market. i bought a stock for 81 cents a share (10,000 shares) sold it for $10.50 cents and made over $97,000 in 4 months. life is good

  • @ninarosie

    I'm sorry maybe my math is off but how exactly did you make over $97,000?

  • .81 cents x 10,000 shares = 8,100 (april '09)

    sold 10,000 @ $10.50 a share is $105,000. (8/09)

    $105,000 - $8,100 = $96,900 (ok sorry, I was off by $100. ) (it was avis/ budget rent a car. 0.81 cents in April '09. Good luck, Rose Marie

  • wait wait wait

    81 cents = 10.50 cents? dont u lose money?

  • @ninarosie Fuck! Fucking briliant, fucking congratulations, fucked damn lucky fucky bastard! fuck! fuck! fuck!!! Yeesss, Yuck! Fuck!, life's fucking good!!!

  • LOL

    " WITHOUT ADS LIKE THIS"

    XD

  • It's not what its used to be 2-3 years ago i opened a CD account and 5.15% at 13 months. Now its not even 2% BUY GOLD!!!!

  • I love saving money and I save over 200 a month and earn money doing this would love to have you join me.

  • You forgot about inflation. Also the interest is way too low. So why not put it in mutual funds, stocks, bonds, or business investments. Sadly you cant buy a home here with 42,000

  • lmao just buy government stocks, .......

  • Good luck finding a 3% apy where you can pull it out when you need it. 1.5% at this point, pitiful. And if you have only 24k to put in over 20 years in order to make 19k more? Better than nothing, but pitiful. Some people spend 20k just in remodeling, or more. What she needs to do is put about 10k in a year for 10 years for a start... if she can. Interest isn't what it used to be. It used to be you could invest at 5-5%. Now it's like 1.5%, nearly useless.

  • I think ppl ignore the name of the title which is saving money in plain English. Clearly, is trying to teach the most basic information about how banks work, all children should watch this. Is this video enough to create an effective savings plan, of course not. Still, how many ppl are saving to buy what they want? the inverse of the video is true, most ppl are borrowing money from banks to buy what they want and end up paying their first child in interest.

  • U sound like your talking to a 4 year old chiild. Thats not plain english thats annoying english

  • If you want to invest in something as a metal, silver is the best option. Its very cheap compared to gold and it is still used in many applications. Its better than copper in certain situations. You could have bought silver for around $9 an ounce in December of last year and today it is close to $17.50 an ounce. Yes timing is the key. We didnt know $9 was the bottom. I still believe that silver is the best metal to invest in at this point even though it is high at this time.

  • Who wrote this crap?

    A bank??

    This is about the lowest return we could get on our bucks!

  • Jasmin must be making $75K a year in order to put in $1200/month. What about taxes, rent, car payments, utilities, food, student loans, clothes, and entertainment.

    It is easier to "fall" down the stairs and sue for $70K.

  • And what about inflation, biatch?

  • lol good comment, I am pretty sure in 20 years inflation will beat that 3%, not to mention in practice the APY is barely at 2%. If you want to actually save and make money. Save the money in gold, produce and invest. Gold prices increase with inflation.

  • Term deposit is a better option at 8% p.a given inflation annual avgerages 4% over time this solution will give you the buying power this video alludes to with its 3% which would amount to 1% LESS buying power in 20 years even though its $42,000.

  • Hey , macosaffiliatecrew com offers you some useful articles/tips. For those who are looking for good content to their website/blog or for ppl who are looking for some nice stuff around the internet. pay it forward!. new search engine @ macosaffiliatecrew com

  • Her first home at 40..?

  • Aww its a pity that the inflation will wipe out any money she had put in the bank. Poor Jasmines 42,000 in 20 years has less buying power than when her orginal 29,000 did :(

  • Not to mention the government will like a peice of any interest Jasmine has earned.

  • With becomeabloggernow . blogspot . com having your own blog becomes easy

  • If you know your way through the stock market after you get your first million getting another million is easy...

  • I rather invest my money... The interest you get in the bank is just too damn low to "earn more money"

  • Problem, Interest that banks give you these days wont amount to anything, because it won't track the inflation rate. If you keep your money in the bank for a rainy day your fooling yourself in this economic climate. Its not going to change soon either. Put your savings into gold or silver. These metals always track and beat inflation rates.

  • Hey there bro...your comment is interesting but i need to know more.Firstly what is track and how can the gold beat inflation rates..? i am looking to invest in some type metal right now...Can you give me a example...lets say i invest 100 dollars in gold today...in the next ten years what will it be worth and how does inflation not affect it?

  • Ok, If you hold 10 dollars cash in the bank in a normal savings account for 10 years, it will be devalued by the rate of inflation. What you can buy today with 10 dollars will not be the same in 10 years, it will be actually less. If you buy $1000.00 worth of gold at a good price now and hold that gold for 10 years the value will track or actually beat the inflation rate so when you cash out you will retain the value of your savings. Do not invest in gold, save with gold.

  • do any body no a banks or credit unions with a more high interest/apy then 3% and what about a monthly interest/apy not years i dont want to go that long. can anybody tell me?

  • You can open an account with UBS. They pay 11% on foreign national bank accounts. Do check out my channel for I have some things on saving money etc

  • yaaay

  • Worst tip ever. Use the savings to buy commodities and diversify. If you buy stocks, buy solid companies with low P/E in emerging markets.

    We have reached peak Oil, the demand stays about the same the following 20 years and the reserves are contracting.

    Tip 2, dont be loyal to your investments, if you have reached a desired earning move out. The only loyalty you should have is to your own cash when it comes to investments. The $ is in decline, even the SEK will have 10% return in 1 year.

  • this guys voice is way too camp for me to take him seriously.

  • Nice, but then Jasmine would have to live in her parents' house until she was 40 years old? XD

  • yes but this is an example, not reality, but that would just be crazy, i'd laugh at her if she was my friend

  • I hear you! these tips are crap in this economic climate. The amount of interest banks give you is crap compared to the inflation rate. Wait until this money that we are printing gets out there, have you heard of hyperinflation? Buy silver or gold to save.

  • SO GOOD!

  • Cool, makes sence.

  • They forgot inflation. Money becomes worth less every year by an average rate of about 3.2- 3.6% each year. If Jasmine is only getting 3% she is losing buying power as her money depreciates in value. Looks like Jasmine needs a better plan.Jasmine needs to lock her money into CDs whenever the rates are above 4% and she needs to find better investments when rates are low. (equities, bonds, rental properties,etc.) She should also make large purchases while the interest rates are low.

  • Ok... :)

  • Er...you start watching a video, you dont like it.......you know you dont HAVE to watch it all the way through, right? -.-;

  • well....this isnt common sense

  • now i see why ppl sell drugs WTF....

  • Bankers are crooks. They use your money and pay you very very very low interest, while using your money to loan to others and very very expensive interests. Now if the people really want to get ahead, they will pull their money out of the banks that do this. When banks begin to fall, they will start paying better interest to thier customers and make banking worth while again.

    But until people wake up and realize the power they have in their own hands, nothing will change.

  • Yeah i don't believe people are going to wait 20 years to get 42,000$ while they can make more in less amount of time

  • you dumb. thats just an example. get a life dude..

  • Your dumb, cause thats a bad examply. Get a life dude

  • im not gonna wait 20 years, i could die by then!

  • this has MANY rsks, like losing ALL your money

  • Nice Job!!!

  • The worst part it's the bank charges you for every thing, for example, I'm in dominican republic, and every month they charge me for every use of the ATM, for having a Debit card (not credit), for having balance under the limit, or if i have de balance over, anyway they charge for something... and the interest its just negligible!!

  • and that's how the economical resscession happened kiddies !

  • What are you explaining this to, 5 year olds?

    Also, it doesn't matter how much you save in the bank if that bank closes.

    Though I never got the idea of interest since eventually there will be more interest due then there is money in existence.

  • God... Just 3%.... Thats shitty, in 20 years she could be dead. Can't take that cash with you where you are going when that happens. :)

  • damn she still dont even got enough money, dats like just a down payment nowadays

  • I earned 52 cents last year. In only 5 more years, I will be able to buy a cup of coffee : )

  • lol. you are a TRUMP

  • hahahaha

  • that's how Madoff stole people's money. Because they wanted higher APY

  • Who or what is Madoff?

    Sorry, I´m just 12 : )

  • Berny Madoff is a guy who recently ripped a ton of people of their money... $50 billion in all i think. people invested their money with his company (which was just a big fake) thinking they were getting the best deals.

  • in the current economy the interest is so low it's barely anything

  • 20 Years is quite a long time.

  • fucking 20 years, she will be 40, what the fuck is 100 dollars nowadays!!!!!

  • Interest is one of the worst inventions of the modern age. Just work hard, and you'll get the money, also earned money "feels" a lot better.

  • Intrest = Credit Crunch = Custer Fucked

  • Refer: grzeiikg13 on bux (dot) to

    the best opportunity without cheating.

  • you could just rob the bank...

  • LMFAO!!!

  • well, you could..

  • That's not compound interest.

  • Save money with a residual income. It's only $10 US/month with no approval process and you profit of 5 levels of downline. Realistic for those who are already full time employees.

    If interested: evan257 (dawt) ws

  • was this payed for by aig? cos i think they want there cash back.....

  • too bad the apy isnt really 3%... its too unrealistic.. more than of 0.03 %..

  • Then the Fed cuts interests rates to zero so you get next to nothing in interest. Meanwhile inflation steals your money at 5 percent at least a year. Your savings is worth less and less.

  • make a time machine and put your money in the first bank that had apy and ur fucking rich omgomg

  • if you leave it abandoned that long they take it

  • The bad thing is noone wants to wait 20 years to become an ounce richer. It's a good Idea when you have a $1'000'000 and with an interst rate pear year by 6% it will result in your money growing and you will not have to work more i your life with a cheap apartment in the suburbs.

    $1'000'000 plus 6% is $1'060'000 that would cover your daily needs in an apartment for $4000 a month in rent. And food bills even other things like a car.

  • It's hard enough for someone to own one million dollars in savings anyway.

  • i went from piggy bank too lemans then piggy bank

  • Because some women don't want to be a whore, and some women don't want STD's

  • There's only one kind of person worse than a douchebag like me: Someone who thinks I am being serious.

    You are a fucking slagpit goobag fucktard.

  • 1) Learn how to insult people properly.

    2) Don't complain to me that I took your "comment" seriously, it is your fault for making it look that way, and for posting such on this kind of a site.

  • Really?

  • Saving is for squares! Here's what Jasmine has to do...

    Just say she's black or Hispanic!

    Then, claim that the reason she has a bad credit-score is RACISM! (ignoring the fact that she's never repaid a debt in her life.)

    Next, she can get help from ACORN in pressuring banks to loan her money, BECAUSE SHE'S NOT WHITE!

    See how easy it is?

  • Yeah, The Magic of Compounding Interest, Nobody tells you about how much money your losing over the 20 Years due to inflation....She has more paper, but here "dream house" now costs 3x more then 20 years ago.

  • Thats very true Nickolie

  • Comment removed

  • Porkface, I found this kinda sad:

    YOU CAN'T SPELL !!!

  • 20 years of savings so she can take her money and get into goddamn debt to the bankers and become a slave for another 20 or so years.

  • Is this true? What in saudi arabia and philippines?

    How much m0ney should I put in the bank to gain a higher interest?

  • BS...this is about some chick who is 20 years now and planing on saving for a house that she will be buying in 20 years. She needs to just relax and enjoy her life. She will still be able to purchanse a home with less than $49K 20 years later.

    Think long term but thinking whats goign to happen to you 20 years down the road will make you sick and u will die sooner.

  • i have 50% apy

  • Yeah, because 3% APYs exist everywhere these days...idiots...

  • This is cute, but Mr. Stingy rips a brand new one in cheap. Wanna REALLY make money and save it? Check out my account page for Mr. Stingy's blog!

  • boring

  • Get this.  I am working on a book to show how to save with what you spend now. I gave up tipping and each time I put the money in my "cheap bastard jar" and save $1020 in just one year. This is over 100k in a lifetime more than most people accomplish to save. Bottom line dont tip anybody take care of number one yourself.

  • hahahahahaha!

  • not compared to a year ago ;)

  • You're not taking into account about inflation. Basically, a shopping cart worth $100 now may be worth $200 in the future, while still having the same items.

  • That's a big piggy bank

  • Think how cool it would be if u had like 3% APY and lots of chash u put there like 100 000 and next year have 3 000 more :O this way you get were rich if u have lots of cash and if u win in lottery think about how much cash u can get by putting it all to bank for a year

  • they say if u put 1mil money in the bank you could live like you have been living just off the interest.

  • Wow! Very helpful, thanks! :)

  • Too bad the inflation rate is much higher than the interest rate offered by banks. Thus, if one saves in paper dollars, you will be LOSING purchasing power... unless APY exceeds the inflation rate, which is not something the banks are willing to do these days. watch?v=31nPvnwpwEM

  • Exactly! I was also thinking about this during my watch :P

  • to bad the bank will loan all your money. or a bail out or sumthin

  • wow you really have no idea what your talking about do you?

  • And what about taxes ? You don`t really think tha the bank "gives" you something (compound interest) without Big Brother wanting his share like a vampire,do you ?

    Now please add inflation plus the ever increasing hunger of the government and tell me if you are still sleeping, Alice !

  • This is such an illusion ! He is forgeting to talk about inflation that will eat your money way making it worthless,unless you can find a way to have compound interest without inflation.

  • i have the same problem as mattz456 but i need £650 for a new mac minni

  • Comment removed

  • im 13 and i want to save up 350 £/$ for a new HD underwater camera and ni have a money problem i need help on how to save money.

  • Better than that. You save 1K every month for 5 years and that would be $60K

    With 60K you got plenty of dough to go to a foreclosure auction and may be (a friend of mine did it) get a house for less than $20K

    Guess what?, now you have a house and $40 K left to do whatever you want.

    Think about it, with a paid off house you have no more monthly payments and you be ok.

    Continue.

  • Now, you go to buy a house like most people do. Put down $5K and pay $900.00 a month for 30 months, which equals 324,000

    By the time you finish paying that amount, that house may sale for less than that, so where's the investment?.

    Best advice: Save the Money and pay cash for it.

  • Yes, inflation lowers the buying power of cash. However, there is lag time between the point in time which a person inflates the economy to the point in time which the economy realizes that there is more supply of money out there to lower the demand. That is why people and banks are willing to create money out of nothing but money, even if their increased buying power is fleeting.

  • u r awesome

  • Let me tell you one thing:

    The important thing is not "how many dollars you have", but "what you can buy with those dollars"..

    Interest is such a scheme that causes the inflation..(most economists would claim otherwise saying "interest fighting inflation")

    Let's say you borrow 100 dollars at 5 percent interest to produce 10 shoes, each shoe costing 10 dollars. As interest is your expense, you will add it to the retail price. So price will rise at least 5 percent. That is called "inflation".

  • Great Video. I like how you break it down. We all need to benefit more from compound interest.

  • where is her hair?

    20 years?! man i'd be collecting retirement by then

  • 20 years?? it's better to steal a house.

  • they don't give you interest because you 'help them out' or 'loan them money' the do it because of interest rates and if they didn't you would end up losing money.... the only way they will use your money for anything is if you put in shit loads and they invest it. this is the stupidest and most fictitious thing i ever heard. . .

  • that's not how it works.... when a bank gives you a loan it creates the money out of thin air, there's no real money involved? they don't take your money and give it to someone else....

  • professorkipling is actually right, google Money as Debt and watch the video. It's all explained.

  • lke we dont know these simple household economics

  • this is completely retarded. 20 yrs!!?

    just go do some illegal stuff like drugs or sumthin -> its better to live 5 years like a king than 20 like a slave

  • She has no face...

  • thats a good plan but if you wanna make somting out of bank you atleas need 1 mil but halifax offers you more they offer you 10 persent :)

  • just a shame she will be 40 and not own a home

  • hahah thats sad

  • This is surely saving money in plain English! I am a teacher and you definitely explain it in plain simple language with simple graphics that are easy to understand for anyone. Thanks for being simple and to the point.

  • Banking was a problem way before economy was, or rather banking IS the economy problem. Federal Reserve more specifically, and any banks that run like it. Designed to take as much money from us as it can without our notice, which since we're terrible at noticing things, has been "successful" for hundreds of years. Shut down the Federal Reserve and have the Government print its own money. National Debt goes immediately down from over $10 trillion (TRILLION!) to Zero, Nil, El Zilcho.

  • you couldn't be more right i totally feel you on this

  • this is stupid and reductive

  • After 20 years that money will be shit thanks to inflation. So, buy the fucking latte and get some hair.

  • You are my hero.

  • I know.

  • You said it brotha!

  • Lol. Making money on compound interest is terrible. Not to mention inflation. Find better ways to make money instead. only problem is... the economy's in the shitter :(

    Or as Babiesuck666 recommends

    "invest in Satan"

    lulz

  • Please look at Credit Unions, they really are the only way to ensure that your money is being handled responsibly, rather than being dealt with as chip in the Investment Banking Casino.

    I have nothing to do with any Credit Unions except as a saver, but while everyone was panicking last year, I was safe and secure and knew exactly what my Credit Union did and how and why it did it.

    Best of Luck.

  • invest in Satan

  • yaaaayyy 3%!!!!

    just enough to keep up with inflation

    yaaaayyy!!!

  • If you're lucky enough for you bank not to go bust - or rather to be bailed out when it does...

  • good explaination for kids..... but The $42,000 is UNREAL in california !

  • 1. this is tradtional advice about money but actually it is bad advice

    2. 3-5% ANNUAL return on your money is a terrible return

    3. Inflation will destroy what you gained in interest

    4. Stocks and Shares is better then putting mone in bank

    5. But the only true way to get rich today is just like it was 1000 or 2000 years ago... start your own business.

  • Ok I'll go out and start a business right now, oh wait no one's lending.

  • jasmen needs to buy some hair first

  • its a good start but its better if you put your money in a cd or even invest it in a company

  • sorry this teory sucks, not real!!
