The time Value of Money- a dollar is worth more today than it is tomorrow. you are losing money every second you are not investing it.
Real interest Rate- Real = Nominal interest rate - expected inflation
The intend return on an investment for lending
The rate we get at the bank. The amount of interest that lenders must charge to make a return and adjust for inflation
Future value If you invest (lend) money ti someone it will compound (grow) according to the following equation
FV = PV (1+ i)
I = nominal Interest Rate , t = time
Present Value Is the amount of money I need to invest now, in order to get some amount (FV is known) in the future PV = FV / (1 + i )
Time value of money
:Let V = future value of dollar
P = present value of $
R = real interest rate ( nominal - inflation rate ) expressed as a decimal

I really favor the visual to help comprehend the previous notes stated. Allows for a more in depth explanation.It is made a claim that money is worth more today than tomorrow. Overtime this has become known as true, in your opinion do you think there will ever be a stop to physical money? As we advance in technology, the lack of materialistic things becomes reality, do you see money being one of the possibilities?
