if you think about how many of us learn to save, it was a good, old-fashioned piggy bank. we would collect loose change, put excite the piggy bank and we determined if we were rich based on how heavy it was. sit same concept now. -- it is the same concept now. when you get income, put it aside, into a savings account and investment account. >> one thing i want to add, when i am teaching my classes, i always teach people to look at what the savings actually means for you in the future. because when we have a clear vision of what that could mean for your future, it means i am secure when i retire. it means i am secure when i retire and i saved for a nice vacation. both those things are motivating. >> sure. >> as human beings, if we don't have a reward or motivation, we won't had do it. >> yes! >> greg, anything else you want to add? a quick tip at the end? >> yes. make the holidays fun. try to do as much as you can and meet the needs of loved ones, but again, putting something aside for yourself. make your own needs and having a financial plan for the holidays and beyond. >>

i have to piggy back off what bertha said. power is really the central problem here as well. power is impacting the supply chain to the retail stores. now, we're here at a kings super market in hillsdale, new jersey. they weathered the storm very well. they're waiting for deliveries all throughout the day saying it could be a little hit or miss, but they've pretty much gotten exactly what they've needed. the hot items are things like bread, water, wood, also ice. as soon as it comes in the doors, it's out the doors again. it sells out really quickly. we went to some other stores last night and also this morning. the picture wasn't quite as rosy. these were stores that didn't have power. they had to completely get rid of their perishable items. i'm talking empty freezers altogether. they're nonperishables were dwindling down as well. the question at this point really is when is the power going to come back to this tri-state area? we have to get the delivery vehicles to have enough gas to be able to get the supplies to the shelves. you've got a lot of consumers that did stock u

it's the piggy bank trade. the fiscal cliff is when do you want to play defense? when you play defense and crack the piggy bank, it's the stock that's widely held, has the most positive cash in the trade. so, those are the big stocks i'd watch to continue to be vulnerable once congress comes back. >> you must have an opinion on apple? >> i think it's addition i own it in my fund. i have a modest position because it has all the volatility and hopes and dreams of the whole marketplace so i like a modest size position but it doesn't have any competition so the price you make in apple is to have the volatile base. >> we started on the markets and an apple seminar broke out. >> thank you for joining us. >> i love that phrase, it has all the hopes and dreams of the marketplace. thanks, guys. >>> confusion over the fiscal cliff. for every pessimist who thinks we'll go over it by year's end, there is an optimist who says we'll be able to avoid it and stop running this video that's very noisy. we'll discuss fiscal cliff scenarios next and help you decide what to do with yo

"it's pretty fat." but the didomenicos are the exception. a survey of more than a thousand parents found financial responsibility one of the least taught lessons children receive at school or from home. the coupon website retailmenot.com found parents spend 59% talking about morals. the rest is taken up by academics, personal hygiene and drugs. only 5% is spent talking with their kids about how to save and not become buried in debt. "it really is ok to sit down and talk about your personal and family finances with your kids, particularly when there's belt-tightening. it's better to discuss with them that that is happening, rather than make it happen and they'll feel they've done something wrong." and sometimes, those lessons form a foundation. last summer, ashley lisenby toured the chicago board options exchange, an eye-opening experience fred banyon, a broker, has given to hundreds of students.
