Episode notes
Compounding Is Exponential Over Time
- Compounding means your returns generate their own returns and grows exponentially over time.
- Small regular amounts invested early can become large sums due to repeated reinvestment and time.
Start Small And Be Consistent
- Start investing consistently, even with tiny amounts like $20 a week.
- At historical returns small weekly contributions compound into meaningful wealth over decades.

- The longer you invest, the more dramatic the final growth becomes, especially in later years.
