Reflection on Financial Health

• Share your experience with “The True Cost of a New Car” activity with your peers
  • Change the size of the loan, years to pay it back, and the interest rate three (3) to four (4) times.
    • Start with the lowest loan amount you might need for your new care and increase by $5000 to $10000 each turn.
    • Start with a 3% loan (entered as .03) and increase by one (1) or two (2) percent each turn.

    • The interest rate charged by the credit card company is 18%.
    • The minimum payment you are required to send each month is $20.
  • Now consider the real cost of that $50 dollars a month by the end of that first year provided to you in the exercise.
    • How might the continued use of a credit card to fund an extra $50 of spending per month affect your long-term financial health?
