The Power of Compound Interest in Growing Wealth

[Fire&Rain]

Compound interest is the ultimate slow burner for growing money. It’s when your investment earns interest, and then that interest earns interest , like a snowball rolling downhill getting bigger as it goes. The catch? Time. The earlier you start, the more that snowball grows. Even small monthly deposits add up big over 20 or 30 years. For example, putting in $100 every month with about a 7% return can turn into a serious nest egg later. It’s not about quick wins , it’s about patience and showing up consistently. Starting late means you’ll have to catch up by saving a lot more. So, are you making compound interest work for you yet?

But you also need to consider the interest rate you earn and the annual inflation rate, which will erode the value of your money.
