Stanford Graduate School of BusinessIFDM TPF Closing - Materials & Resources for Teaching: Tools and Data
Stanford Graduate School of Business
Scattered resources, one platform 0:02
Personal finance teaching materials are currently scattered across textbooks and websites, so the team is building a single hub that brings data, tools, and topics together, mindful that students arrive with very different backgrounds and personalities, and that content must stay current and precise rather than relying on outdated figures.
Compounding and savings tools 4:31
Using the new Trump accounts example, a child's $1,000 grown at 8 percent becomes $4,000 after 18 years, $100,000 after 60 years, and less than half that after 70, illustrating compounding and the rule of 72. A built-in TVM calculator lets students save scenarios, such as $100 a month for 30 years yielding $150,000, versus $500 a month for 40 years yielding $1.7 million.
Roth versus traditional comparison 6:30
A $3,600 yearly contribution at 8 percent over 40 years grows to $250,000 unsheltered, but $390,000 in a tax-advantaged account, with a Roth reaching $500,000 for someone in a low tax bracket now, while traditional accounts favor those expecting higher taxes later, such as mid-career earners at 40 percent.
Closing thanks and future plans 8:30
More videos, a newsletter, and a podcast starting next January are planned, along with the next conference in 2027 held virtually to reach a wider audience, and the organizers thanked their Stanford team, SIEPR, and the GSB for making the work possible.
