The Only Chart You Need to See
What you'll learn
- →Understand the compound growth curve: $100/month for 30 years at 7% becomes about $122,000 — and most of that is interest, not your contributions.
- →Recognize that time is the single biggest input — more than amount, more than skill, more than luck.
- →Internalize that starting small now beats starting big later.
Proof task
Don't just watch. Do.
Open a free compound interest calculator (Google "compound interest calculator"). Plug in $100 a month, 7% return, 30 years. Look at the number. Now plug in 20 years. Look at that number. The 10-year difference is the cost of waiting.
