Transcript

How much money does it take to blow $10,000 in a year? A day. How much money do you have to spend a day to blow $10,000? So I'm holding a brick here of 10 grand. A lot of people would like this brick. Yes. It's $27.40 cents a day. Wait a minute. $27.40 cents a day is $10,000? What happens, Mel, if you invest $27.40 cents a day? This explains compound interest. And if you invest $27.40 cents a day and you're in your 20s, can you do this until for 40 years at a 10% rate of return, which is what the stock market has averaged for 100 years? You use that fund I told you about, the VTI fund. You'd have $4,424,000. Say that again?
