Without compound interest
If your money just sat in a regular piggy bank, you'd have $0.
With compound interest (7% / year)
If you invested it instead, you'd have $0. The extra $0 is "money that made more money" — that's the magic!
⏰ The cost of waiting
If you'd waited 5 years to start (saving the same $X every week), you'd only have $0 — that's $0 less. Time is the asset, not the amount.
WHAT'S COMPOUND INTEREST?
When you save money in a bank or invest it, the money earns a little extra each year. Then next year, the extra earns extra too. It snowballs! That's why starting young is a superpower.
⚠️ It also works in REVERSE. Credit cards and car loans use compound interest AGAINST you — every month you owe, the interest grows on the interest. The same math that makes savers rich makes borrowers poor. Be the saver.
