$10,000.00 Loan ?
If you needed a loan for $10,000.00.What 2 questions would you ask the lender?1. What is the Interest rate?2. How long do I have to pay it back?The lender replies,
“Take 10, 20 years or longer. Don’t worry about it.”“As for the interest rate, we’ll let you know when you
are ready to pay it back. It depends on ourfinancial situation at the time. Enjoy!”
Would you take this loan?
Lost Opportunity Cost - LOC
What is Opportunity cost?For every dollar you acquire, you may chose to spend it or
save/invest it. Saved/Invested dollars can grow over time.Spent dollars are gone forever. The potential future valueof spent dollars is called opportunity cost.
•Do you earn interest on an expense?•Is the expense (money spent) accessible?•What would the money spent be worth at some future date if you had been able to save/invest it?•That is opportunity cost. (see wedding example)
Lost Opportunity Cost-LOC’sthe wedding
First you must know the mathematical rule known as . . . Rule of 72
Mathematical rule- Rule of 72 . . . Approximate time for money to doubleDivide the interest rate into 72.Example . . . $100.00 @ an interest rate of 8% will grow to $199.90 in 9 years ( 72 / 8 = 9)
LOC example . . . Let’s use the cost of a wedding•Bride and groom 25 years old•Wedding costs $20,000.00•Using and interest rate of 10% & the Rule of 72, the $20,000.00 would double every 7.2 years {72 / 10 = 7.2} Look at how $20,000.00 would grow over the couple’s Lifetime
Wedding TableAge at
10%Earnig Rate
Values Age at

25 $20,000.00 25
32.5 $40,000.00 35
39.4 $80,000.00 45
46.6 $160,000.00 55
53.8 $320,000.00 65
61 $640,000.00 75
68.2 1,280,000.00 85
•If the $20,000.00 could have grown to $1,280,000.00 the LOC would be the difference between the $20,000.00 spent and the $1,280,000.00 it grew to or $1,260,000.00•The $20,000.00 would have created a substantial amount of wealth had it not been spent1.28 million worth of wealth
Question? If I would offer you now $1,000,000.00 Or a penny doubled in 30 days what would you take?
• How the idea began?• Most of us have heard the idea of starting with a penny, double the amount everyday,
and eventually you will end up with $1,000,000+. I first heard about this in math class way back in grade school. For those that have never of it, this is how it works.
• Day 1 - Start with $0.01Day 2 - $0.02 (doubled)Day 3 - $0.04 (doubled)...Day 26 - $335,544.32 (doubled)Day 27 - $671,088.64 (doubled)Day 28 - $1,342,177.20 (doubled)
• Day 29 - $2,684,354.40 (doubled)• Day 30 - $5,368,708.80 (doubled)
If you chose a penny Doubled then you are correct.
Velocity of Money• The multiple uses of $1.00 of each dollar• The ability to use the same dollar over & over again• Would you rather have 3 X 3 or 3 + 3? Is 9 more than 6?
Banks, investments & insurance companies not only use thisstrategy every day but would not grow & prosper without this criticalelement & “movement” money. So how does it work?John takes out a mortgage with the bank & starts to pay back $1,000.00monthly for his home. Tom wants an auto loan. The banks takes John’smortgage payments & loans them out to Tom. The bank now takes John & Tom’smonthly payments & loans them out to you through one of their many alluring credit card programs. The bank now takes John’s home payment, Tom’s auto payment, your credit card payment & loans it out to. . . Now multiply this strategy times 1,000’s.
What a business!
