Maths For Real Life, Period 1, Class 10 [3/17]

"God willing," Jean-Paul said once all of his students were present Monday morning, "and if your other teachers have done their jobs, you will live through your teen years and live to be old. At which time you will need money, and be unable to work. Do not panic." Jean-Paul went on to discuss various long-term savings plans, such as money in a sack under the mattress, Social Security, and Roth IRAs. Professor Beaubier was nothing if not comprehensive.

"Now, let us discuss which of these methods you think would be the best form of long-term savings for you. Starting with you," Jean-Paul said, picking a student at random.

Michael was taking notes, reluctantly. He didn't like thinking about this.

He took notes, thinking to himself that he'd prefer a combination of the options given. Just to be on the safe side.

Harry wasn't sure he was going to be living long enough to need a retirement fund.

Hole in the ground sounds good, right?

"Instant access account. Good for the rent and all that."

"A combination of IRA, personal savings, and privately held savings for optimal security and access. Also, I think I read something about a 401k that sounded promising..."

Adah hesitated perhaps a moment, with a bit of indecisive should I? before she scribbled down an answer and pushed it forward.

"Personal accounts. I intend on being an extremely proficient doctor, so I highly doubt retirement will be an issue in any way, shape, or form. Well. Perhaps in a certain way, shape, or form, but that has nothing to do with money, at any rate."

"If you're the sort who has a problem with the whole not spending money concept, I'd suggest something other than the mattress, as it's too easy to get at."

"Personal savings, I think," Makoto said, leaning back in 'her' chair, "keeps the money well under your own control."

"Gringotts," Cedric said. "Easiest method I know of."
