Bellwork:
Intro to Debt:
  • Preview Chapter 4
  • Watch Video 1.1 "Debt: Product, Not Priviledge
    • take notes as you watch (pretend you're the teacher)
      • It's easy to go into debt, it takes effort to stay out of date
      • Cash back bonuses may not be worth it if you buy things that aren't on in your budget.
      • DEBT is DUMB
        • credit cards charge interest and allow you to buy things you can't afford
        • car loans allow you to borrow to buy something that goes down in value
        • interest on a 30 year home mortgage might be as much or more than the value of the home
      • Lots of marketing dollars are spent on convincing us that debt is normal
        • 6 billion credit card offers went out last year (6000 million)
        • banks are good at what they do (selling credit)
        • commercials try to confuse you
      • need paradigm shift (new way of looking at something)
