Compounding Bunnies and Stocky People from Mike Staley on Vimeo.

Sesh 6- Save dough, have more bread.

For those of you concerned I can't do math, I also put 10% of my income into an investment account!  (Refer to last 1/4th of video to see what I'm talking about).

Sorry the audio was a little weird in some places, I tried a new editing program and did some audio filters.  It's still audible so get over it!  :)

Why I can't tell you how much to save: Click here

Pre-Sesh: So you’re about to graduate college.  Whatever your financial situation is, I'm here to help. The videos are meant to build on each other, but if you can only stand my voice for one video and need to learn about a particular topic, then you can skip around.

By the way, you may be wondering why I chose a video format, and the reason is that there are tons of personal finance WRITTEN blogs, and I thought videos would be more fun to make and easier to follow than writing! I don’t know about you, but I hate “syllabi” so let’s get started!
