12. Lesson 12 Visual 4 The Magic of Compounding
When you save, you earn interest.
When you take the interest out and spend it, it stops growing.
But if you leave the interest in your account so it can grow, you start to earn interest on the interest you earned previously.
Interest on interest is money you didn’t work for. It is money your money makes for you!
Over time, interest on interest can increase your total savings greatly.

16. Lesson 12 Visual 7 Buy and Hold
In order to leave money in savings or investments, you have to do these things:
Spend less than you receive. How?
Earn more by improving your formal education or job skills.
Spend less by using a budget to keep track of where your money is going.
Become connected to financial institutions.
Open and maintain accounts at mainstream financial institutions--banks, credit unions and brokerages.

18. Lesson 12 Visual 8 The Stock-Market Roller Coaster

19. Lesson 12 Visual 9 Don’t Put All Your Eggs in One Basket
If you put all your money in one stock, a disaster befalling that stock will hit you hard--as if you had put all your eggs in one
basket and then dropped the basket. With your money spread out across variety of assets (stocks, bonds and cash, for example), you’re not hurt as badly when any one asset does poorly.

Lesson 12 Visual 10 Forms of Saving and Investing: Some Benefits and Costs
Savings accounts: provide a small but steady return.
Certificates of deposit: very safe, but instant access carries a penalty.
Bonds: lending money to a corporation or government, with a promise of higher returns than those offered by bank savings accounts and CDs.
Stocks: part ownership in a company, offering higher risks and, potentially, higher returns than some other investments.
Real estate: the risks and benefits of being a landlord.

A mutual fund pools investors’ money.

Mutual funds enable investors to avoid the risk that comes from owning any one asset. In other words, mutual funds make it easy to diversify.
