Financial Success: Start Early

Financial Success: Start Early

Financial success is dependent on good habits practised over a long period of time.

You can still have a positive impact on your financial future if you're starting later in life, but you will then have a lot of work to do. This is due to the magic of compounding, that can help you create an impressive wealth snowball.

The Power of Compounding

At first glance, compounding does not look remarkable. However, looking at compounding in action, you will notice a few things.

Consider, for example, investing in stocks at an average real return of 6.8%. (It is inflation-adjusted.) During the first few years, compounding doesn't really do much. After ten years, your initial investment would nearly double. After 16 years, your initial investment would triple, and in 20 years, it will quadruple. By year 40, you're earning more than your initial investment every year.

The Importance Of Saving

Your investment returns are less important than your investment contributions. That is to say, how much you invest matters more than where you invest.

The more you contribute, the more there is to compound.

Make Compounding Work For You

  • Start early. The sooner you start, the more time compounding can work in your favour and the wealthier you can become. Next to starting early is starting now.
  • Stay disciplined. Make regular contributions to your savings and retirement accounts. Try to increase your deposits with time. Your goal is to generate a large saving rate.
  • Be patient. Don't touch your investments. Compounding only works if you let your money grow.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.
