5. Working and Saving Working and saving are the only ways to buy what you need or want Jobs offer people the opportunity to work. A career is a job that a person holds for a long period of time, with room to progress (or move up) teaching acting managing a company

6. Working and Saving Saving is important once you start to work Saving allows you to hold on to your money until you need it or want to purchase an expensive item. When you save money in the bank, you earn interest on the amount you’re saving Interest is a fee that the bank pays you for keeping your money with them. The interest is usually a percentage paid over a year.

7. Interest For example… Mr. Perez places $5,000 into a savings account that has an interest rate of 5% (or 0.05) per year. After the first year, how much money would Mr. Perez have in his bank account? Easy, the formula for interest is I = P*r*t I = amount of money earned after a certain time has passed P= amount of money in bank account r = rate (interest rate) t = amount of time

8. Interest So, if Mr. Perez puts in $5,000 in a savings account with a 5% interest rate for 1 year, how much money will he have after that 1 year? We know… I = ?? P = $5,000 r = 5% or 0.05 t = 1 I = 5,000 * 0.05 * 1 I = 250 * 1 I = $250

9. Interest After 1 year, Mr. Perez would have earned $250 in his savings account. How much money would he have in his savings account? After 2 years, how much money will Mr. Perez have in his savings account? Try it out on your own… I = ?? P = $5,250 r = 0.05 t = 1 I = $5,250 * 0.05 * 1 I= $262.50 $5250 + $262.50 After 2 years = $5512.50
