  • www.ted.com It's easy to imagine saving money next week, but how about right now? Generally, we want to spend it. Economist Shlomo Benartzi says this is one of the biggest obstacles to saving enough for retirement, and asks: How do we turn this behavioral challenge into a behavioral solution?

    It was never meant to be funny, and I simply couldn't stand people joking about his accent. They say "be the change you want to see in this world", so I tried my best. Being mean does nothing to improve the world, but every speaker on TED are trying their best to do something for the world. I find it pointless to dwell on such trivial details of a person and to deter from the content the person was trying to present.

    Just had dinner and watched this TED seminar from beginning to end. It talks about "behavioural finance on steroids". In this presentation, Shlomo Benartzi taught about stuff that left me understanding more about how I have acted in the past. More than that, he opens the door to a new (at least new to me) way of thinking that has the potential to be applied in areas well beyond what was discussed. Inspirational.

    I've been to alot of funerals in the past couple of years and not to many lectures about the deceased have included the description about how much money they saved that made their retirement "Cushy". The talk is usually about the content of their character that formed an honorable and redeemable legacy.

    I work with seniors every day and the biggest problem is they saved for so long they don't know how to distribute their money efficiently. they leave it in the market and let it drop and worry.

    'Superannuation', which is the Australian equivalent of 401k, is taken out of your pay cheque before you get it. It is a percentage of your pay so contributions go up as you get a raise. Its compulsory and you can't opt out.
    It surprises me that he hasn't referenced this, as it works, extremely well.

    Interesting but it just sounds like Superannuation we have here in Australia.... the SGC (Superannuation Guarantee Contribution) currently at 9.0% and is likely to increase in the near future. It's a great system for retirement savings.

  • @DK0526
    @DK0526 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Hannesexy That forgets that by saving money you are investing in 401ks which purchase stocks in companies. Buying company stock is investing in companies and this helps them to grow but makes them more accountable then mere spending on products. Thus this is a win win solution...besides we will still spend on products but the companies will have to be more competitive to earn those dollars from us. Competition breeds value and quality.

  • @RyoUchiha2324
    @RyoUchiha2324 11 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    This video is very accurate and interesting. However, 401(k)'s are no longer a valid retirement plan due to taxes, penalties, fees, and limits to contributions and payouts. You can get one, if you want to lose half of it when you retire.

    • @ManuelPinner
      @ManuelPinner 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mutual Fund is much better than 401k,

    • @jeffhale5199
      @jeffhale5199 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      401k's have changed, many have mutual funds and other categories you can invest in. I do prefer Roth IRA, but if your company has a 50% or greater match you should contribute up to the match and then contribute to a Roth IRA.

    the extra money would have come from many different avenues i dont really know about the Oxford economy but in general:
    the UK GDP has doubled over that time.
    Banks from other regions of the UK and internationally moved their assets to Oxford.
    from somewhere else.
    40 years ago the demand on housing was less. people did other things with their money.

    The Federal Reserve also discourages saving by price fixing interest rates at 0%. Saving is like dieting it is hard and people put it off, they promise they will start tomorrow, after this bag of chips, at new years, always next time etc You have to start NOW. You cant wait until you are 900 lbs before starting to diet or wait until a week before retirement to decide to save.

    @Truthiness231 Well whether or not things are more expensive someone who saves would still undoubtedly be in a better position than people who did not save.
    To me this whole issue is confusing because I hate buying things and don't really comprehend why anyone enjoys spending money lol. This puts me at a disadvantage since the psychology of it is not at all intuitive to me :P

    @hazeee123 That's not entirely true. Inflation was 2.9% in 2011. You can get anywhere from 0.9% to 2% interest on a savings account. So your money would be losing between 0.9% to 2% in value annually. Savings accounts are insured and carry no risk. US Treasuries are actually worse right now. But you can get about 1% above inflation from Brazilian bonds. So you can still save, if you look for the right investment. Even if you lose %1 in value, it's better to have money in retirement than junk now

    @siggyboss That's an oversimplification, also I'm not sure what you mean about "giving away organs for free" you mean the dead person wants money for their organs?
    In any case if 12% of Germans checked the box then at least 12% read it and understood what they were doing. In Austria you can then guess that at least 12% would read and understand and yet only 1% check the box. Basically people have a bias towards the default option and people do want to give organs and don't want to not give them

    My problem with saving (which is and isn't related to what he's talking about):
    The upper class can easily save more than me and still consume more than I could even if I didn't save. I'm quite concerned, given the position the world is currently in, that there won't be resources left to buy with the money I save once it comes time to save it (at least certainly not for the price I'd be able to afford, even if I did bother to save). It's a problem with the future alright, but it's via pessimism

  • @eetaq1940
    @eetaq1940 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Spencerianism I agree. I personally do not trust saving because the rate of debt that the government is acquiring makes it seem inevitable that within the 40ish years between now and my retirement the value of currency will be a fraction of its current value, and therefore saving currency is pointless.

    @Crazylalalalala I am not a lawyer, I am engineer. I live in Oxford where 3 bed house costs £300.000. 40 years ago it was £50k. By taking inflation into consideration the present price should not be higher then £70k. Average salary increase can be linked to inflation ratio, property price - not. Surprisingly there are still property buyers in Oxford. If conspiracy theorist description is not correct, then maybe you will be able to tell me: where this extra money is coming from?
