discussion question

I need a discussion question relating to a topic in chapters 4,5, or 6.

Because this is an online course, we will use discussion boards to encourage class interactions. You must post one original question about any of the content in the learning unit by the assigned due date. You must also reply to at least 2 other students posts by the due date. All questions should be related to the chapters 1, 2, or 3. A students original question should apply the content to an interesting experience/thought and should invite discussion (E.g. I heard on the radio that 1 in 4 people have $0 saved for retirement. Is this surprising to you, and if so, why? What do you think their sample was and how do you think the sample could change this statistic?). Student responses should address the questions asked by other students and should be substantive. Students should not just restate the original posters questions or simply state I agree or Thats interesting. Responses that are in agreement with previous posts must build on or extend the commentary (E.g. Provide an additional example of the concept). Lastly, be considerate, appropriate, and professional when replying to classmates.  Any inappropriate comments will be removed and will not receive credit.

Please title the your post as the topic of the question (e.g. Retirement savings)
