During our lives we face seven major financial challenges:
1) education after high school, 2) cars, 3) a house, 4) educating children/grandchildren, 5) saving for retirement, 6) eldercare costs, and 7) a surplus for heirs/charitable gifts. It’s all about interest rates, the Time Value of Money (TVM), and the legacy of the late Jack Bogle: index funds. We’ll use simple arithmetic to solve these problems quickly and easily using Rule of 72, Felix’s Corollary, and Duane’s Corollary. We’ll check our answers on our HP 10 financial calculators. We’ll explore eldercosts in depth as time permits. Classroom
