Re: Most Americans Fail This Simple Financial Quiz

This wasn't my test it was something I read and I found interesting and sad. They seemed to me to be some basic questions that are important for people to know or at least understand.

Yes, but what if murray is just using this ruse as a way to up his contract with jerry? . . . . Looks like sam has been in deep contact with murray to try to get him over to the eagles, they seem to be close friends. . . . . murrays numbers are good, but his averages have stayed steady, just more at...

The "Republican" Perspective

Hey LJF! I have a question for you. Do you agree with and support the Republicans, like Boehner supports, who went behind President Obama's back with a letter to Iran stating not to take the US nuclear deal seriously? And to give Netanyahu the floor in Congress? G.O.P. Senators’ Letter to Iran About...

Re: Most Americans Fail This Simple Financial Quiz

Can this be real? These questions stump most Americans with college degrees. Suppose you had $100 in a savings account and the interest rate was 2% per year. After five years, how much do you think you would have in the account if you left the money to grow? (A) More than $102. (B) Exactly $102. (C...

spoiler A,C, False But, I think your test is flawed. It assumes that people with college degrees actually have the kind of money in the bank where it would matter if the interest was 1% or 2%, if you are talking an extra couple dollars a year, why would they care to become financially savvy? You wil...
