Why 2.5 billion heartbeats might change the way you think about money: Preet Banerjee at TEDxUTSC
Preet Banerjee was originally trained as a neuroscientist, and after a brief stint as an aspiring race car driver, ultimately landed in the world of personal finance. Formerly a stockbroker, then an index fund wholesaler, he is now the new host of the television series ‘Million Dollar Neighborhood’ on The Oprah Winfrey Network, a personal finance columnist with The Globe and Mail, and author of three personal finance books. He is also a founding investor in Tunezy.com, a social e-commerce platform for music.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Have your bank automatically transfer a certain amount from your checking account to your savings account every month. It’s easier when you don’t have to think about it. Finally, just remember that having money saved grants you power and safety. That’s worth more than anything.
