Questions:

• Which of the items in the chart above do you prefer to purchase online vs. in-store? Why do you like to purchase some things in a store instead of online? 
• Why do you think that only 1/4 of people prefer to buy their groceries online rather than in a store?
• How do think these percentages will change in 5 years? Why? 

Here's the ready-to-go slides for this Question of the Day that you can use in your classroom.

Behind the numbers (Statista):

According to a study published by PwC, some products are preferably bought online while others are better purchased in-store. The latter is especially true for groceries, which 70 percent of consumers surveyed get from brick-and-mortar stores and only 23 percent online. While it is convenient for consumers to buy household appliances (56 percent) or furniture and homeware (59 percent) in-store, books, music, movies and video games are rather purchased online (60 percent). As the survey reveals, a mere 28 percent would go to a store instead to buy products from this category.

Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
