I've been wanting to make a video on a couple of terms that people have really thrown around for a while now.발음듣기
대기중
And I think it really hits the core of some of the issues we're dealing with now with the credit debacle but it's kind of at a deeper level.발음듣기
대기중
Everyone obviously says, I've invested in the stock market or I've invested in a house and I really want to give you a framework for how I think about these ideas.발음듣기
대기중
And frankly, I haven't seen them depicted this way in any economics book, although they've kind of touched on this, but I think this is really how you should think about these things.발음듣기
대기중
So if you save money, and I think we all know what that means, that's money that you didn't spend, there's a couple of things that you can do with it.발음듣기
대기중
So, let's just think about a bunch of different situations and think about whether those things are consumption or investment.발음듣기
대기중
And I think that that factory is going to be able to produce - I'll make up some product - it'll be able to produce cars more efficiently and cheaper than any other car factory out there.발음듣기
대기중
Because I'm taking this $100,000 and I'm putting it to some use that is creating, hopefully, more value than my original $100,000.발음듣기
대기중
And I've made a bunch of videos on what a return on investment is, and you can usually quantify it.발음듣기
대기중
If I take a $100,000 and I build this factory and this factory spits out $50,000 a year, it's probably creating at least $50,000 a year value, assuming that nothing corrupt is happening in our system.발음듣기
대기중
It may be creating a $100,000 a year of value and $50,000 of that may be going to the person who's doing the production and then the other half of the value is actually going to the consumer of whatever this factory is making.발음듣기
대기중
And you have to think about it, because if all of the value went to the person who produced the factory then there's not a huge incentive for someone to use his products anymore.발음듣기
대기중
So I think we all agree that if I were to build a factory that this is - let's say I'll do everything in green as investment.발음듣기
대기중
Because I don't have that, I can't get a job and I can't become a productive member of society.발음듣기
대기중
This is my other use of this $100,000, instead of building a factory, I'm going to build a simple house.발음듣기
대기중
And this house, it provides shelter for me and my family, it allows us that security that now my kids can go to school and they can themselves become more productive citizens.발음듣기
대기중
I have a place to take a shower, that allows me to go get a job and I can now create value for society as a whole, instead of being on the corner and begging for money from people.발음듣기
대기중
Because I'm taking this $100,000, that maybe I had or someone gave to me, and it's generating a return.발음듣기
대기중
It's that security and it's also the return that probably my kids are going to be able to now contribute to society.발음듣기
대기중
And now that they have a roof over their head, and are able to go to school, et cetera, they are going to be able to give some economic value back to society.발음듣기
대기중
It's hard to value, maybe I didn't have any job before and now I have a job and I can contribute $30,000 a year to society.발음듣기
대기중
And maybe my kids - if they never got an education, they would have maybe added $10,000 of value per year to people and now they can add $20,000 of value.발음듣기
대기중
Now, my question to you is, let's say that I already had a house - so this is an investment.발음듣기
대기중
We have food on the table and my kids go to school and I'm able to get a job and all of that exists.발음듣기
대기중
But let's say, I still have a $100,000 and I use that $100,000 - I'll do it in yellow - to put in some granite counter tops.발음듣기
대기중
I have some money left over, let's say, I'm going to add a bathroom to my house and I will put the latest hardwood floors, so that my family will be impressed.발음듣기
대기중
Now, in our everyday world, with most people we deal with, they will call this investment in my house.발음듣기
대기중
Because they say, by spending a $100,000 in the house in this way, that maybe - if you watch the Home and Garden channel, they're doing this all the time - that if you pour this a $100,000 into your house, that maybe the value of your house is going to increase by $150,000.발음듣기
대기중
Or someone else, all of a sudden, is going to perceive the value of your house as being $150,000.발음듣기
대기중
You are, essentially, piling money into this stuff - and I'll do this in red, consumption is red.발음듣기
대기중
When you add granite, or you add an extra bathroom or hardwood floors or this extra 2,000 square feet, is it making anyone who's living in that house more productive?발음듣기
대기중
Is it making you harder working; is it making you more likely to invent the cure for cancer, or more likely to invent a way of getting cheap energy, or produce more widgets?발음듣기
대기중
No, it's just, if anything, providing more things for you to have to take care of, that you're not going to be able to focus as much on your work.발음듣기
대기중
Or more energy is going to have to be extended to maintain this type of place, to heat and cool a 2,000 square foot house.발음듣기
대기중
So if anything, by actually pouring the $100,000 here, you're actually creating something that is going to suck more out of society.발음듣기
대기중
The last two examples I gave contribute to the collective wealth society, some of which you share, and that is your return on the investment.발음듣기
대기중
It might make you a little bit happier, make your ego feel a little bit better, let your pride grow, and your self righteousness grow, and show other people that you've arrived, but it's not going to increase the wealth of society.발음듣기
대기중
What you're saying is - by paying this $100,000, you're going to find, essentially, a greater fool out there.발음듣기
대기중
They could have done the same thing, they could have bought your house, spent $100,000 and done this, if this is what would have made them happy.발음듣기
대기중
But what you're saying is, essentially, that you're going to find somebody out there who's willing to pay $150,000 extra for something that should have only cost $100,000.발음듣기
대기중
So you're just somehow assuming that the granite counter tops that you choose are going to be the taste that someone else would like or that the hardwood floors are going to be the taste someone else would like.발음듣기
대기중
I would actually argue that when you customize your house in this way, you are creating $100,000 of consumption to your taste.발음듣기
대기중
And I'd be surprised if someone else, truly, is willing to pay more than $100,000 unless they're being, in some way, irrational or they can finance this because it's part of the mortgage.발음듣기
대기중
Consumption is something where people might call it an investment because it's kind of speculation.발음듣기
대기중
