One startling statistic stands out in this beginning financial lesson aimed at young adults: David Durand points out that an 18-year-old who saves $600 a year for 20 years can easily end up with nearly half a million dollars by age 65. If that doesn't get young people's attention, maybe hearing the "learn to manage your money" drill from someone besides Mom and Dad will help. Also covered are the evils of credit-card debt and the difference between savings, budgeting, and investing. This video is a no-frills yet professional presentation--all of the big bucks production money must be socked away for retirement--and an excellent primer for those striking out on their own who might think twice before dropping $4 a day at Starbucks.
