Question 51 / 96:  If you expect to live to at least 80 years old, why should you seriously consider saving a large amount of your income and investing it while you are young?
Answer: 

At some point I will not want to, or even be able to, work full time

and earn an income. I will want to have a big stockpile of savings

to live off of at that point, so that I don't need to ask my family or

the government to support me. Because of compound interest, if

I start saving just a little bit earlier in my life, it can have a tremendous

impact on how much wealth I have when I retire.

Sample Partial Credit Answer

I need to save so that I will be able to live when I am older.
