Save Smart Special Episode
TV411’s own Calculating Woman Hyacinth takes the lead in this four-segment TV411 special
on saving and investing. One rainy day, Hyacinth shows her friend Luz why Social
Security won't be enough to live off of in retirement and how to make up the
difference; over lunch out, she uses a waiter's pay stub to explain the advantages
of tax-deferred savings plans; in a fortuneteller’s storefront, she spurns the
crystal ball in favor of graphs and charts showing rate of return to assess the
possible risks and rewards of investing in mutual funds; and finally, visiting
her elderly aunt, she shows how the importance of reading the fine print comes
into play when evaluating an investment brochure.
