Frequently Asked Questions
What is compound interest?
Compound interest is earning interest on your interest. Instead of just earning 5% on your initial $10,000, you earn 5% on $10,500 after the first year, $11,025 after the second, and so on. Over decades, this creates exponential growth.
What is the Rule of 72?
Divide 72 by your annual return to estimate how many years it takes to double your money. At 6% returns, your money doubles every 12 years (72 ÷ 6). At 8%, every 9 years.
