The power of compound interest is something that you probably learned back in high school, college, but you briefly just brush it by cause you didn't think it was very important. Well, it's very, very important. And here's the reason why. Let's say I were to hypothetically give someone 500 bucks for them to actually invested into a Roth IRA and let's say an account, it has returned roughly 12% hypothetically. Now, by then putting 500 bucks into that account and about 35 years, that money is gonna be roughly at $32,000, give or take. Could be less, could be more if the market fluctuates. Now, let's say the same person were to do 100 bucks a month plus their initial investment of 500 bucks now, they would have roughly about $682,000 by the time they get to the annual 35 years. And the reason why they can actually have that much money by 35 years is because they have the effect of compound interest. Cause you're starting early at early price and eventually when you get to retirement 35 years, it's gonna be a higher price compared to the past. So overall, that is how compound interest works. It works towards your favor and also against you if you do not start early, investing early early on. So overall, I hope you guys learned something to your today and if you learned something, feel free to share it, comment and follow me.
