Quiz: Are You a Savvy Saver? (Financial Literacy Quiz)
Mortgages, credit card payments, investments - money makes the world go around. And knowing a few key basics can save you a LOT of cash down the road. Put your financial literacy to the test!
Imagine you have $200 in savings - earning 3% interest each year.
After four years, how much would you have?
True or false: Investing in a single company's stock is usually safer than investing in a mutual fund.
Let's say your savings account pays 2.5% interest per year but annual inflation is 3.5%.
After a year, how much purchasing power would your money have?
Choosing a 20-year mortgage means you'll pay higher monthly payments than a 30-year mortgage - but you'll pay less total interest.
When interest rates rise, what normally happens to bond prices?
Assume you borrowed $10,000 with a 20% interest rate (compounded annually).
Making no loan payments, how long would it take for the amount you owe
to double
?
