Most Valuable Things
@Financemooc
Motivation: What motivated the decision that led to you owning your most valuable thing? Being able to work online from home motivated purchasing a computer.
Money flow: What markets are at play in your life? Stock index futures markets are at play in my work life. How might this compare to the markets that are at play in the lives of the individuals whose possession(s) were captured in the photos shown in the article? Some of those individuals do not have robust and fast internet connections, so doing what I do to trade stock index futures would be very hard for them to reliably accomplish for technological reasons of limited access.
Repercussions: Thinking ahead to content that will be expanded upon in Week 3, can you identify any repercussions of the financial decisions that allowed you to purchase your most valuable thing? Saving money and working at jobs that pay enough to afford expensive computers is a way to use money to earn more money.
