At the interest rate offered to Japanese savers at Japanese banks, it would take approximately 354 years to double your money. An investment in US Treasury bonds (at a 10-year rate of 4.7 percent), in contrast, will take just 16 years to achieve a 100 percent return. Stating this fact is in no way an attempt to offer investment advice; We only wish to point out our utter lack of knowledge regarding capital investment and the concept of compound interest, despite the huge and often dramatic impact this knowledge can have on our lives. Most of us remain "capital ignorant."
Playing "Credit Game " allows you to learn about capital investment. It is not a difficult game, but it is perhaps not as simple as the average computer game. Its format is not a far stretch from "Monopoly" or the "Game of Life."In trials of the game carried out at two different universities, more than 90 percent of students, all approximately age 20 and with no prior financial knowledge, stated that they "wish to play again" on the review portion of the survey. |
