The Power of Compound Interest
Compound interest is often called the eighth wonder of the world. It's the process of earning returns on your returns, creating exponential growth over time. Albert Einstein called it the most powerful force in the universe.
The key to maximizing compound growth is time and consistency. Even small regular contributions compound significantly over decades. Starting early and staying invested through market fluctuations typically yields superior long-term results.
