Very often all the alternative savings systems available to poor people are risky. The research revealed that 99% of clients saving in the informal sector report that they have lost some of their savings. 15% of those saving in the formal sector report that they had lost some savings and 26% reported lost savings in the semi-formal sector.

Microfinance is allowing women to borrow lesser amounts of money and by paying it back bi-weekly it is keeping them coming back and when they pay off their first loan they are allowed to borrow more, larger loans.

While Tan 's essay is mainly composed of personal anecdotes, she is still able to bring attention to subject and issues that are relatable to groups of people besides herself. Each personal anecdote used in the essay addresses different problems stemming from language, all of which are identifiable by various groups of people.

In Nicholas Kristof's “Doughnuts Defeating Poverty” he claims that without a bank the people in poor African countries have no way to manage money. I agree with Nicholas Kristof's point of view on the topic, but at the same time I disagree with him.
