Not just our retirement, but yours. Too many people start saving too late and/or don't know the basics of why retirement accounts like 401ks and IRAs make sense. This video is aimed at helping people see the long term benefits of retirement accounts.<br /><strong><br />Who is it for?&nbsp;</strong> Along with use in schools, we see this video being a tool for companies who offer retirement programs. This video can be licensed for use by HR (or financial organizations) that have the goal of increasing awareness and adoption of the programs.</p> <p>This video will join the other Money videos in a forthcoming "Financial Basics Pack" of 6 videos:</p> <div class="view-content view-content-browse-money-single-videos"> <div class="item-list"> <ul> <li> <a href="http://www.commoncraft.com/borrowing-money">Borrowing Money in Plain English</a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www.commoncraft.com/insurance-video">Insurance in Plain English</a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www.commoncraft.com/investing-money">Investing Money in Plain English</a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www.commoncraft.com/saving-money">Saving Money (Compound Interest) in Plain English</a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www.commoncraft.com/stock-markets-video">Stock Markets in Plain English</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <p>The release of this video also marks a break for our recent focus on money and a return to technology.
