In poor countries without national health care or retirement programs, families have to conserve what they can to guard against the possibility that a family member will get hurt, fall ill, or no longer be able to earn a living. The typical Chinese family saves 30% of its income, according to a </span><a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2011/03/how-we-spend-money-in-china-india-russia-egypt-brazil-and-the-us/73001/">Credit Suisse study</a><span>. The typical Indian family saves 15%. How do families in poverty save?</span><br/><br/><span>Creatively, collectively, and conservatively, according to </span><a href="http://www.portfoliosofthepoor.com/book.asp">Portfolios of the Poor: How the World’s Poor Live on $2 a Day.</a><span> Ten years ago, authors Daryl Collins, Jonathan Morduch, Stuart Rutherford and Orlanda Ruthven collected financial diaries from more than 250 households in Bangladesh, India, and South Africa, to learn how the world’s poor saved, spent and invested money. What they found is that even without the ability to do basic math, some of the poorest families understand the importance of diversifying their lot.</span></p> <p><span></span><span>Consider the case of Hamid and Khadeja, a couple profiled by the authors who live under a tin roof in a Bangladesh slum with their young son. Hamid drives a rickshaw. His wife part-times as a seamstress. They share a bathroom with eight other families and live on about 80 cents daily per person. “Despite their modest income, Hamid and Khadeja are active money managers,” the authors write, splitting their income into six different financial instruments, including a microfinance savings account, a small life insurance account, and savings with a so-called “moneyguard,” a friend charged with holding extra cash. Most amazingly, the couple is both illiterate and innumerate, lacking in basic math skills.</span></p> <p><span><strong><a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/03/how-the-other-half-saves-financial-planning-on-2-a-day/254761/">Read more.</a></strong> <em>[Image: Reuters]</em></span></p> </blockquote></blockquote>http://gaber.me/post/19698992217http://gaber.me/post/19698992217Wed, 21 Mar 2012 18:31:20 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m18ratcrrd1qe24hgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>#miami #beach #clouds #rain #travel #igerschicago #iphoneonly (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am">instagram</a>)</p>http://gaber.me/post/19681260280http://gaber.me/post/19681260280Wed, 21 Mar 2012 11:35:17 -0400cloudsmiamiigerschicagotraveliphoneonlyrainbeach<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m135ehemtv1qe24hgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Another shot (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am">instagram</a>)</p>http://gaber.me/post/19513003773http://gaber.me/post/19513003773Sun, 18 Mar 2012 10:54:17 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m135doqqd81qe24hgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Hello from #miami #beach (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am">instagram</a>)</p>http://gaber.me/post/19512983279http://gaber.me/post/19512983279Sun, 18 Mar 2012 10:53:47 -0400miamibeach<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m12zlh8OtB1qe24hgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am">instagram</a></p>http://gaber.me/post/19508928778http://gaber.me/post/19508928778Sun, 18 Mar 2012 08:48:52 -0400
