Saving putting money aside or avoiding unnecessary expense or waste
|
The savings rate in the U.S. has been too low for the past three decades. The easy credit of the last few years has provided little incentive for people to put money aside. The spending and consumption that resulted from low interest rates, stable employment, and rising home values gave most people the impression that the good times would never end; they always do, and the timing of the end is nearly always not the best time for individuals and families.
We think we’ve identified three critical factors that determine how successfully an individual will withstand the effects of a wealth hazard that they've encountered. Many people will find this approach useful in their attempt to deal with these difficult times. The three factors are how to Avoid, Manage, and Recover from the effects of a wealth hazard.
