Did You Know?

Money in the future is worth less than money today.

To think of it in simple terms, if you loaned a person $1000 today and they said they would return the $1000 in 10 years. You lose all the value of today's money and future interest if you invested the $1000 in your savings account over the same 10 years. Also inflation and prices of almost everything increases in 10 years. There is also the risk if the person will pay it back and on time.

So you would not be able to buy as much with that $1000 that would be returned in 10 years. So $25,000 paid in 50 payments of $500 per month for next 4 years, may be worth today $18,506.44 +- or less. There is also the un measurable factor of  "Needing a large amount of money now". To get super technical if your up for it you can read an economics presentation outline from the University of Wisconsin with examples of present value and the value of money. Read More >
