The Time Value of Money

Calvert Library Prince Frederick

Combined Meeting Rooms 1 and 2

C4 Speaker Leonard Zuza

The amount of items you can purchase with money evolves over time. The longer you hold a substantial amount of money without investing it, the less you will be able to buy with it over time. There are two principal dynamics that affect how much you can purchase with a given amount of money in the future: inflation and the returns you get on savings and investments. This presentation analyzes both of these dynamics and the steps that people can take to not only protect their hard-earned income from inflation, but also develop a mindset that will enable them to accumulate small savings and grow them into amounts large enough to achieve long term financial and personal goals.

This even it sponsored in partnership by Calvert Library, Calvert Concept Charitable Corporation, & the Calvert County Commission for Women.
