ENGINEERS
CS 007: SESSION 1
STANFORD UNIVERSITY • COURSE MATERIAL • CS 007 • FALL 2020-21
DISCLOSURES
• These slides are provided as-is and do not necessarily match the exact version of
the content provided in classroom for students formally enrolled in the class at
Stanford University.
• This presentation is intended to provide information and frameworks to assist the
additional research and education of individuals. This presentation is not financial
advice, nor is it intended to provide advice for specific financial decisions.
• These slides are provided publicly to be used for non-commercial purposes only. All
material derived from this content must include appropriate citations to Adam Nash
& Stanford University.
WHY PERSONAL FINANCE?
• Poorly covered in secondary school
& university curricula, even at top
schools.
• Not technically difficult, but the
signal-to-noise ratio is terrible.
• Massive impact on your life.
• Affects everyone.
* Please note: many of the hand-made drawings in this presentation are sourced from Carl Richards, behaviorgap.com
WHY FOR ENGINEERS?
• Engineers are typically well
educated in math, and enjoy it.
• Engineers face significant financial
decisions early in life.
• Engineers tend to believe that they
are rational decision makers.
• Engineers create products that can
affect the finances of billions.
REAL QUESTIONS, REAL DATA
• Most adults do not feel comfortable
talking about money & financial
decisions with friends & colleagues.
• Bad data can lead to bad decisions
• This class will be based, whenever
possible, on real data
• Please push yourself to share openly,
and ask the questions you really
want answers to.
SOCIAL CONTRACT: BUILD TRUST
• Students in this class come from a
wide variety of financial situations
• We are lucky, because this diversity
can help educate us on a broader set
of potential financial decisions
• Assume your classmates deserve
privacy about the financial
information they choose to share
• Do everything you can to earn &
deserve their trust
CLASS
SURVEY
CS 007
1: WHAT YEAR ARE YOU?
• This class is optimized for students
who will be graduating soon.
• It is never too early to start learning
about personal finance.
• My personal journey really started
after my sophomore year, when I
interned with Hewlett-Packard…
* https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/best-money-adam-nash-ever-spent-2015-4
2: HOW DO YOU DEFINE WEALTH / SUCCESS?
• Is there a “magic number?”
• Expectations vary widely.
• Some people find success focusing
on goals, others on running up a
score.
• Your peers do not adequately
describe the range of successful
financial outcomes possible, nor the
range of lifestyles that could make
you happy.
Low: $80,000
High: $50B
3: HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR PARENTS 💰
• Many parents are conflicted about
how to talk about money.
• This is not surprising, because
money can be an uncomfortable
reflection of values & behavior.
• Many parents are better prepared to
discuss sex & drugs with their
children than money.
• This class could be an opportunity
for you to learn with your family.
4: PURCHASED STOCK, ETF OR MUTUAL FUND?
• 64% of American households have
Amazon Prime, but only 52% own
stocks. (Source: Gallup)
• The top 1% of households by wealth
own 56% of all company shares.
(Source: Goldman Sachs, FT)
• Owning stock can be a path to
learning about companies & investing.
• Investing in equities, ideally through
an index fund, can be one of the best
ways to build long term wealth.
5: FILED YOUR OWN TAXES?
• If you earn money from a job, you
should be filing taxes.
• Many financial decisions are
seriously impacted by taxes.
• Ignoring the after-tax value of a
financial decision can lead to serious
financial mistakes.
• An irrational fear of taxes can also
lead to poor financial decision
making.
6: STUDENT LOANS THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR?
• National student loan debt at $1.6T
• 44.5 million student loan borrowers.
• Average debt for Class of 2018
borrower was $28,565.
• Student default rate is 10.9%
* https://studentloans.net/debt-per-graduate-statistics/
7: WHAT % OF YOUR SALARY SHOULD YOU SAVE?
• Spend less than you make.
• 10% is not the right answer.
• There is no magic rate of savings,
but when you save you win two
ways.
• Saving means learning to live
on less, which lowers your goal.
• Saving means more capital to
invest to reach your goals.
8: WHAT % OF AMERICANS HAVE $400 FOR EMERGENCIES?
• Commonly misquoted statistic.
• US Federal Reserve reported in 2017 that
40% of Americans do not have sufficient
savings to cover a $400 emergency
expense.
• Actual survey question reveals the
number is 12% that self-reported that
they couldn’t cover the emergency.
• Liquidity means having access to money
when you need it.
• Don’t underestimate the value of
liquidity. Liquidity matters.
9: WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS MEDIAN INCOME IN US?
• Financial statistics can be confusing,
because the time period, data set and
questions vary dramatically.
• Sentier Research reported median
household income at $63,688 as of Jan
2019.
• US Census reported median household
income at $61,937 for 2018.
• US Census reported median household
income in California at $75,277 in 2018.
• In 2018, median household income in
Silicon Valley (Santa Clara) was $126,606

Stanford CS 007-01 (2020): Personal Finance for Engineers / Introduction

  • 2. STANFORD UNIVERSITY • COURSE MATERIAL • CS 007 • FALL 2020-21 DISCLOSURES • These slides are provided as-is and do not necessarily match the exact version of the content provided in classroom for students formally enrolled in the class at Stanford University. • This presentation is intended to provide information and frameworks to assist the additional research and education of individuals. This presentation is not financial advice, nor is it intended to provide advice for specific financial decisions. • These slides are provided publicly to be used for non-commercial purposes only. All material derived from this content must include appropriate citations to Adam Nash & Stanford University.
  • 3. WHY PERSONAL FINANCE? • Poorly covered in secondary school & university curricula, even at top schools. • Not technically difficult, but the signal-to-noise ratio is terrible. • Massive impact on your life. • Affects everyone. * Please note: many of the hand-made drawings in this presentation are sourced from Carl Richards, behaviorgap.com
  • 4. WHY FOR ENGINEERS? • Engineers are typically well educated in math, and enjoy it. • Engineers face significant financial decisions early in life. • Engineers tend to believe that they are rational decision makers. • Engineers create products that can affect the finances of billions.
  • 5. REAL QUESTIONS, REAL DATA • Most adults do not feel comfortable talking about money & financial decisions with friends & colleagues. • Bad data can lead to bad decisions • This class will be based, whenever possible, on real data • Please push yourself to share openly, and ask the questions you really want answers to.
  • 6. SOCIAL CONTRACT: BUILD TRUST • Students in this class come from a wide variety of financial situations • We are lucky, because this diversity can help educate us on a broader set of potential financial decisions • Assume your classmates deserve privacy about the financial information they choose to share • Do everything you can to earn & deserve their trust
  • 8. 1: WHAT YEAR ARE YOU? • This class is optimized for students who will be graduating soon. • It is never too early to start learning about personal finance. • My personal journey really started after my sophomore year, when I interned with Hewlett-Packard… * https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/best-money-adam-nash-ever-spent-2015-4
  • 9. 2: HOW DO YOU DEFINE WEALTH / SUCCESS? • Is there a “magic number?” • Expectations vary widely. • Some people find success focusing on goals, others on running up a score. • Your peers do not adequately describe the range of successful financial outcomes possible, nor the range of lifestyles that could make you happy. Low: $80,000 High: $50B
  • 10. 3: HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR PARENTS 💰 • Many parents are conflicted about how to talk about money. • This is not surprising, because money can be an uncomfortable reflection of values & behavior. • Many parents are better prepared to discuss sex & drugs with their children than money. • This class could be an opportunity for you to learn with your family.
  • 11. 4: PURCHASED STOCK, ETF OR MUTUAL FUND? • 64% of American households have Amazon Prime, but only 52% own stocks. (Source: Gallup) • The top 1% of households by wealth own 56% of all company shares. (Source: Goldman Sachs, FT) • Owning stock can be a path to learning about companies & investing. • Investing in equities, ideally through an index fund, can be one of the best ways to build long term wealth.
  • 12. 5: FILED YOUR OWN TAXES? • If you earn money from a job, you should be filing taxes. • Many financial decisions are seriously impacted by taxes. • Ignoring the after-tax value of a financial decision can lead to serious financial mistakes. • An irrational fear of taxes can also lead to poor financial decision making.
  • 13. 6: STUDENT LOANS THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR? • National student loan debt at $1.6T • 44.5 million student loan borrowers. • Average debt for Class of 2018 borrower was $28,565. • Student default rate is 10.9% * https://studentloans.net/debt-per-graduate-statistics/
  • 14. 7: WHAT % OF YOUR SALARY SHOULD YOU SAVE? • Spend less than you make. • 10% is not the right answer. • There is no magic rate of savings, but when you save you win two ways. • Saving means learning to live on less, which lowers your goal. • Saving means more capital to invest to reach your goals.
  • 15. 8: WHAT % OF AMERICANS HAVE $400 FOR EMERGENCIES? • Commonly misquoted statistic. • US Federal Reserve reported in 2017 that 40% of Americans do not have sufficient savings to cover a $400 emergency expense. • Actual survey question reveals the number is 12% that self-reported that they couldn’t cover the emergency. • Liquidity means having access to money when you need it. • Don’t underestimate the value of liquidity. Liquidity matters.
  • 16. 9: WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS MEDIAN INCOME IN US? • Financial statistics can be confusing, because the time period, data set and questions vary dramatically. • Sentier Research reported median household income at $63,688 as of Jan 2019. • US Census reported median household income at $61,937 for 2018. • US Census reported median household income in California at $75,277 in 2018. • In 2018, median household income in Silicon Valley (Santa Clara) was $126,606 * http://www.deptofnumbers.com/income/us/ * http://www.deptofnumbers.com/income/california/ * https://siliconvalleyindicators.org/data/economy/income/household-income/median-household-income/
