Input: I see that everyone hear is complaining about how this topic could've been explained in 30 seconds yet Mr. Woo here explained it in 12 minutes. It's not about the time the teacher is taking to explain the topic, it's about the engagement. The teacher made the time bearable. In my math classes easy topics that could've taken 10 minutes turned into 45 minutes and it was so unbearable because my teacher wasn't as active or engaged with his classroom as this teacher is.

[@hamzahhammoud6960]

Megacahh that is economics i think

[@Farsmezan]

I just studied math at school but I had the typical mindset that math is hard. All this changed when I was trying to count how many words can be made out of 26 letters, and size of each word starts from one and ends at 5. I discovered many things that I had no idea about. Such as pascal triangle and the statistical things related to it. Later, I believed in myself that I can rediscover math and I started to find how to calculate area of shapes, and I did a very good progress. Later, I worked as a salesman and I was checking every number. I checked if the accountant calculated my commission correctly or not. At first, I insisted that he made a mistake because he is old and can't see well. But, I figured that he excludes taxes from sales then calculates commissions. I learned that I can't figure everything out of my head, and I need to know how things are done the right way. Also, as a salesman my customers asks me to calculate the area of complex shapes. So, I figured out how to do it correctly, but I hate doing it. As it takes time, and some customers have no idea that it takes time so they get angry or makes you angry when they don't buy. Anyway, I can teach you math. Based on my way, not based on text book. In another words I will not give you a fish, but I will teach you how to catch a fish.

[@Farsmezan]

Also I don't like this teacher. He wants the customer to pay for everything which I think isn't necessary because every business I have seen make benefits 2 to 10 times the cost of everything. I mean if an item costs you 10 dollars, and this cost includes everything from your salary to the rent and AC. You can sell it for 20 to 100 dollar. Be sure if the economic was very bad, and a business is still running, that business overprice items to 10 times and maybe more. And those who are the first to close, not complete failures. But their prices were less than 2 times above the cost. In another words, the benefit they make is just enough to let you pay your bills on time. I prefer the not greedy pricing as I support the consumer best interest. But if you are a selfish business owner, you will be greedy and as an employee you will have a secure job as the business owner doesn't feel effected by economy. You want to be the next billionaire, be greedy. You want to stay where you are, find the consumer best interest. And the path between the two is the best. Slowly but surely.

[@Brauket]

Faris Mizan have you done any research on Nikola Tesla and his beliefs around the number 3, 6, 9?

[@Farsmezan]

@@Brauket .. I just know as much as you know about Tesla. I know he thinks 3, 6, 9 are very interesting. But, I don't know how he figured that they are interesting. For me, They are no more than 3 multiplications. But once someone gets the same intuition and experience of Tesla, then figuring out why 3,6,9 are interesting will be possible. As I said earlier we can't figure everything out of our head, we need to understand how things actually work, and what things actually are. Example, A hacker can't hack a computer if he doesn't know how it actually works. And, chief can't make a delicious dish if he doesn't have a good sense of taste.

You have a higher chance of credit card fraud than you do of being robbed person to person in any first world country regardless of how high the crime rate is in that given area.

Hi Eddie. It's a very good explanation for your students to get them started on the discussion. I know this is 6 years too late, I apologise for that. Just chanced on your channel. There is a caveat that you might want to think about exploring on this subject. Some retailers/restaurants/bars/vendors/etc might actually give a discount if you use a certain bank's credit card. I know it was practiced in Malaysia when I used to wait tables in 2005, not sure if Australia had/still has that. But if Australia does, you might want to briefly touch on that with the students.

Cash isn’t cheaper because there are costs associated to keeping the cash. Time costs to deposit at the bank, reconciliations, sure you may skim some off but you won’t skim all of it.

Love this guy. Not taking into account the implicit cost of cash though (loss, miscount, damage, etc) - because of this, many businesses won’t take cash anymore. Still a great teacher!

Amusing, where I live we tend to go away from cash, one of the reason being cash transit expenses are higher than debit/credit card fees.

Best teacher in the world! For such a very intelligent person Eddie Woo is, he can teach and engage with KIDS. I know a lot of smart people who don't want to teach KIDS because you have to put yourself at the students level and patience required is insane.

Despite already knowing this information, as a result of working in retail, I thoroughly love this video! The lack of knowledge around this topic and many other financial topics is worrying. Most my friends my age (late 20s) have almost no clue at all, and they are worse off for it. And for the younger generation it's not even on their radar, as learning complex physics is prioritised over life knowledge and skills. I see all learning as important, and people should be able to study any field they like, but all kids should have a class that teaches basic life skills like this.

Cash can be more expensive (counting, holding, transport, security). This cost is already included in prices and it is much more higher than surcharge.

This entire 12 minutes video in a sentence: Shops have to pay a surcharge when you pay with credit card meaning it costs them more when you use one, so that is why in some places paying with credit costs you more.

[@rever4217]

An acquaintance thought it was because the shop doesn't have to declare cash transactions and so come tax time it looks like the business has earned less and so get taxed less, whereas card transactions are all monitored.

When you have such talent, the key is to stop where we are good, and try and do it better and better over time. But when we seek to leverage the smartness to reach out to more complex stuff, we may loose the ability to be that good. I like Woo for the enthusiasm he maintains in teaching even simple stuff. It really is not simple to make simple stuff simple for everyone else. I also like the enthusiasm of participation in his classes.

[@tomobrien4149]

Regarding AMEX .. their whole approach is different. If your company gives you an AMEX card, take it. Know when to use it and when not to. My car company accepted AMEX, but only as a deposit on a vehicle. My service dept did not. Always have at least two regular CCs. More if you want them to basically do some of your bookkeeping for you. T & E on one, gasoline on another, sublet repair on a third, and so on. Bookkeepers love it, all of a card gets posted to one account.

[@yaroslavmayewsky8755]

Good lesson. I wonder how to rest of the lesson went and whether some of the additional factors were discussed. For example, handling cash also comes with its own downsides. It increases risk by opening you up to theft both from outside and inside elements. More cash also is more time counting cash and making trips to the bank. Then on the flip side of that, cash also makes it a lot easier for businesses to hide how much income they are actually making.

Paying by cheque? Perhaps in Australia in the 90's but it is preferred payment next to cash in France still today.

[@micmic007]

in a shop?

[@edueuro96]

Yep, most places

[@micmic007]

good to know. and im shocked.

[@Hair2U]

It's true. I used to live in Australia, and now moved to France for work. Usually it's the seniors who use cheques. It gets annoying when you are stuck behind them at the shop checkout counters, and they take their sweet time slowly taking their cheque books out, signing it, and then the cashier verifying it.

[@Thomas-kj8ct]

When I was in France I was really surprised but I also witnessed the cheques. I payed with my phone (connected to my card and they were like wow, is that also possible? XD)

[@ItsBocephus]

See now this is just good teaching. I wish I had more teachers that were like this.

[@Lorryslorryss]

I wonder whether it's "cheaper" because the cost of cash handling (yeah, there are costs) is somewhat fixed, wheras cards are per transaction. Would a small shop do better or worse if they cut cash handling all together and only used a cloud based point of sale like izettle or something? I imagine the answer to that might vary by country.

[@MrMoccachinoo]

Credit Card costs are usually in the range of couple of cents base fee + 1,5-3% from the transaction. For contactless payments some charge extra fee. Is apple pay / google pay gets involved, they want to have some money too. Cash handling cost are usually bellow 0,5%. These costs come usually from the security guys, who pick up your bills, and of course banks providing change. Now, small businesses can even avoid this costs, as they bring there money to the bank by them selfs (what they often do). On the other hand big chains, like supermarkets can negotiate better fares with the credit card company, whilse small stores have to pay the higher fees.

[@AjvarD]

In USA (and most other countries) it is ILLEGAL to refuse cash payments. Each US bill has text on it about how it is universal payment for all kind of debts or something like this.

[@Lorryslorryss]

@@AjvarD you're talking about "legal tender", which applies to debts, not simultaneous exchanges. So if you owe me already money, I need to accept cash, as you say. But, if I'm selling something and only accept cheese as payment, that's totally fine.

[@masssssy]

In Sweden it's pretty much impossible to pay cash in a lot of places. Sure the fee for paying with cards is high for businesses, but for a lot of businesses it's even MORE expensive to then get the cash converted onto their bank accounts. Someone needs to take the stack, go to the bank have expensive equipment to handle coins, bills etc...etc.. So it ends up cheaper to use electronic alternatives because paying someone equivalent of 20$ and hour to go to the bank(which is never open) every day is worse than letting them do something useful. It's "pay with card or go home" not "pay cash pay less" these days.

[@residentandrey]

It is a very simplistic approach. There are fees for handling cash as well: security guys coming to your pos to take money, cash and coins calculating machines, cash validity checking devices, cash drawer in POS etc. So all the expenses and risks for cash acceptance should be considered before deciding what way of money acceptance is cheaper..

[@xcver]

Coming from the specific business of payments I can definitely say that several statements were not quite right or definitely wrong. But you get the basic idea. However the bigger a retailer gets, the higher cash handling costs are. Also nowadays in some regions the fees for card schemes are fairly low resulting in the merchant paying

[@Wileyg4lify]

xcver yes sir for this teacher was so hard to explain this finally someone knows how it works

[@MichelePonte]

In Italy VISA and MasterCard are around 3-5% and American around 6-7% and that's why nobody accepts it.

[@iepicdestroyer7860]

The video is slightly outdated for Australia (and most, if not all, of Europe) because regulators have fixed the interchange fee so that it is relatively inexpensive for merchants to accept cards.

[@xcver]

@@MichelePonte Then you are getting robbed. The EU heavily regulated interchange rates and forces to show how much interchange and card scheme fees are part of the fee total which makes it much less easy to hide high fees. There are multi countries that can do it for you if you do not need to accept local card brands

[@MohitPatel-mi7si]

I'm way past my schooling or even college days but once I saw Eddie Woo video. I have watched 4/5 of his videos, all are interesting to watch even though not much use to me anymore. Maybe would come in handy to teach my future children if they are interested in mathematics.

[@adhillA97]

8:00 it's actually a lot less common in Europe (I know this video is Australian, but it's good to note). In the EU, surcharges on Visa and MC cards are capped at 0.5%, whereas none of the other vendors are.

[@adhillA97]

Additionally, this brings up the question of why, in Sweden for example, there are so many businesses that only accept card (no cash). I wonder if this has something to do with the additional insurance cost of handling cash?
