MONEY MAGAZINE Investing, Cash and The GREAT RECESSION Impact

This video is about MONEY MAGAZINE Investing, Cash and The GREAT RECESSION Impact. People are hoarding CASH, and only 15% invested in IRAs in 2013. Adults are dependent on their parents Financially longer than ever before. Why are people spending such a large amount of Money to graduate college only to be stuck at home with parents.

1. Grades should not be given. You can be a good person but school is not for you. You may be smarter than your classmates who earned higher grades than you. I think low gpa students deserve just as much opportunity as high gpa students.
2. I invest in art and select stocks that pay good dividend. the rest of my cash I use to make money doing land deals and such. My wife spends it if I don't vest it quick quick in to assets ;)
3. My grandfather was pretty much forced to leave the country his parents parents have lived for many generations for a few reasons yea the economy and his religion but one story always stuck and it was about how he managed to escape and start a new life with gold coins I am very confident in the pm market not that I hope everything collapses but I think I can safely say that it will always hold weight and maintain it's value and it's transportable unlike real estate that yes was left behind.
4. A correction is imminent
   
5. Interesting good video! Student loan reform is needed. I feel depending on the degree it should determine the amount you can borrow. If want to become a basket weaver you should not be able to borrow 150K. I personally think trade schools to learn a skill maybe partnered with a company so they are learning the skills needed to move into the work force could work better. The system right now is crazy. I personally joined the military one to serve but I also liked if I contributed to the GI Bill I would have a chance to go to school after. I almost did most of my BA while in the military and used the GI Bill to get my MBA. It started with a plan on my part!! 
6. I don't see anyone so far (here) suggesting where you should invest. I only see that so far IRA's might not be the way to go. Is cash the way to go? Inflation will prove that is not the way to go. You suggest the stock market is not the way?
   
   History (from the 1929 crash to today) shows that the stock market does indeed seem to be the way to go over time.
   
   I believe the thought that a lot of higher education is not the way is very valid. If 40% are in cash and waiting for "oppurtunity" you don't suggest what that oppurtunity might be. Gold and silver, alone? Real estate? Diversification? In what?
   
   We have good questions here but no answers or even suggestions. The best answer suggested here is to spend less on stuff that we will later realize that we never really needed.

8. I do keep cash though.  
9. The great recession scarred the investing psyche of the post war generation for good. In addition, employers in the professional sector are matching  401(k) contributions, and people are committing to either bonds or cash. Unfortunately, bond investors will get whacked when rates eventually rise to their historic average of 6.68%. I have no sympathy for the Millennials because they decided to major in gender studies. They should be thankful that the first thing they received upon high school graduation like I did in 1969, was a draft notice and  ticket to Vietnam.
