So can such a little really go so far? Watch this smart adversitment (ad) in the link below. See if you can understand everything. Then read the transcript below to see how you did.

TRANSCRIPT

Presenter: We asked people a question. How much money do you have in your pocket right now?
Crowd: I have $40….53….21…
Presenter: Do you think the money in your pocket could make an impact on something as big as your retirement?
Presenter: Not a chance…no…probably not.
Presenter: It’s hard to imagine how something so small can help with something so big. But if you start putting that toward your retirement every week … and let it grow over time, for 20 to 30 years, that retirement challenge … might not seem so big after all.
