[@adharshvas1103]

I usually can't focus during lectures and found them really boring back in college especially Economics subjects, but this lecture caught my undivided attention at the beginning and didn't divert throughout. I like how comparisons were made between various savings methods in a simple way without any text book definitions. Really hope this level of education quality is adopted in India.

I wanted to study economics at bachelors level so bad. St Stephen's was my dream college when I was in 10th grade. (I was honestly only looking at the kind of jobs you get after the degree , and the work you do - like at NITI ayog, world bank etc) Naive little silly me didn't even look at the actual course content, didn't realise it was a heavy, HEAVY math degree - and I hated maths. This i got to know months after I'd decided to drop maths in 11th grade as a commerce student. This was 4 years ago Big L moment lol. It's also sad to note that india doesn't do justice to economics as a. Study. Most passionate people have to move out unfortunately. Though I've heard the econ degree at indian statistical institute is very good.

To my understanding the idea of savings is not only dependent on economic condition.. But also is attributed to cultural , social, habitual and mental condition. You are aware that in India when one decides to renounce the world or to be a yogi..his urge to save diminishes or ends... Ironically it has been observed that people keep on saving money until the time of his death because of his mental obsession for money... Contrarily there are also people who is poor but chooses to spend all his money to enjoy the fit of the moment... Hence to analyse savings per se needs a multifarious approach.. Econmics may be one of them.

[@harris2898]

microeconomic decisions can have some form of objective foundation, but they are always subject to subjective psychological factors which often are random. In short, the usefulness of studying microeconomic behavior, as showcased in this video, narrows down to very specific scenarios and under very specific constraints. These scenarios cannot and will not (ever) come close to describing the social economic reality, to any realistic degree.

Being richer tomorrow, also leads to more opportunities for investment of savings regardless of consumption. If marginal unity of savings is positive there is reason enough to save to that extent or if marginal benefits of savings are more than the marginal costs of savings, there is good reason to save.
