David Chilton on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos

[Rawnblade77]

I'm a teacher and I'm a budget freak. I killed myself laughing on David's comment.

The Wealthy Barber is a good, basic book to start with. Save 10% of what you earn. There, that's pretty well it. Now you don't have to read this book!

ps... I found that the book got somewhat boring and dull 1/2 thru it.

It's generally good consumer advice, but telling people to save and save could have negative consequences, including inflation driven by increasing money supply.

As well, lending markets are driven by heterogeneity; i.e., not everyone can be a lender. If individuals and govt. all save their money, the only ones to borrow are business. At that point, the real interest rate would likely be negative and businesses would have access to ridiculous, unnecessary amounts of credit. Just a thought.

Hey, dherma,the situation you just describe did not happen to some high saving nation, like China and Japan.Besides,Chilton is not even suggesting everyone should save like a miser.He's just suggesting common sense.

Also, I lived 3 streets away from 4th Ave. in Kitchener at one point in my life...that is cool.

[Stormie33]

Yeah, funny he mentioned that, I lived on Greenfield Ave. growing up, a few blocks from 4th. My mom still lives near there.

[cherry386]

Haha, that's funny, I lived at the end of Connaught and then moved near Fairview Mall, the street up from Greenfield lol

[cherry386]

Makes me proud to be from Kitchener lol. This man is very wise and smart. Especially at time like this, this is very helpful.

[canadianmaple09]

Good advice to live by. It seems so easy, yet so many people can't seem to handle it. Amazing.
