The Power of Compound Interest

Compound interest means you earn returns on your returns, not just your original investment. Over long periods, this creates exponential growth. A $10,000 investment at 8% for 30 years becomes over $100,000 — even without adding a single dollar more.

Why Starting Early Matters More Than Amount

Investing $200/month starting at age 25 will produce significantly more wealth than investing $500/month starting at age 35, assuming the same return rate. Time in the market is more powerful than the amount you invest. Start as early as possible, even if the amount is small.
