Transcript

Reminder that investing £50 a month is great and completely normal. We're going to assume you invest in an ETF that historically gives returns. We're gonna say 8%. Many ETFs have historically given at least 8% returns. This is of course past performance and it doesn't always indicate future performance. As always, this isn't financial advice and you do need to do your own research first because capital is at risk when investing. So you start investing £50 a month, age 20, nothing more, nothing less. By the time you get to 30, you'll have £9,046 invested. Pretty good, nothing crazy yet. Also, you'll have only contributed £6,000 of that, the rest is growth. Time. By the time you get to 40, you'll have £28,633 invested. You'll have invested £12,000, the rest is growth. Time. By the time you get to 50, you'll have £70,880. And you'll have invested £18,000, the rest is growth. Time. And by the time you get to 60, you'll have £174,550 invested. And of that, you will have put away £24,000, which is pretty impressive. Crazy, but that's the power of compound growth. And also, maybe you're only able to put away £50 now, but as you get older and your wages increase, to you might be able to put away more and you'll see that number grow and grow. And that's the power of compound growth.
