How do you Value the Future?
Behavioral studies show that people consistently over-discount the future -- spending money today rather than investing it for the future.
Today, at TechCrunch Disrupt, we’ll challenge conference attendees to make the right long term decisions with their money. We’ll be offering attendees $10 in cash today … or, $25 as a Betterment account bonus if they are willing to wait 50 days.
Attending TechCrunch? Stop by our table to show us how you value the future.
Not attending TechCrunch? We challenge you, too. Where are you spending money today that you could be investing for the future?
