Why All the Talk About Money
We don't have to look very far
to notice the attention that's be
ing given to money and financial
planning these days. There's evi
dence all around us in news
papers and magazines, on radio
and TV, in cartoons, and comic
pages, and in conversations with
friends and family members.
Why all this attention? Why all
this financial talk? After all,
we've been earning and spend
ing money for a good many
years.
The change that's brought all
this money talk is a many-sided
thing. Here is mention oi oniy a
few changes we can see. One is
the widespread use of credit
there's more available and more
being used than ever before.
Credit has forced a certain
amount of financial planning.
Certainly our families have
changed considerably since the
turn of the century from produc
ing to consuming families. To
day we need money to buy the
necessities and pleasures of life.
More and more of our people
are switching from home rental
to home ownership and the
financing of the home itself has
brought iamllles into money
management in a big way. Of
course furnishings ana equip
ment expand this money man
agement for the home even
farther.
The baby boom in the 1940'u
has also been a great influence
on our interest in money. Cost of
rearing these children has been
great. More families are also
concerned with higher education
of their children. In earlier years
children contributed to the in
come of the family through their
work on the farm and in the
home. Today, more money is
needed to see them througn tneir
school years until they leave
home to start homes of their
own.
No small factor is the longer
life people expect today. At the
turn of the century the average
