The Power of Compound Interest

Compound interest is often called the "eighth wonder of the world" because of its ability to grow wealth exponentially over time.

  • Time: The longer you invest, the more dramatic the compounding effect
  • Rate: Higher interest rates accelerate growth significantly
  • Frequency: More frequent compounding increases returns
  • Regular Contributions: Adding money regularly amplifies the effect
  • Early Start: Starting early is more powerful than investing more later
