The Huge Advantage of Starting to Invest at 25

We crunch the numbers on a classic wealth-building contrast: a 25-year-old who invests $5,000 annually versus a 35-year-old who invests $10,000 annually. With a 40-year time horizon versus 30, the early starter ends up with roughly $300,000 more at retirement, even after contributing $100,000 less total. Lucas and Luna unpack the math, the behavioral biases that cause people to delay investing, and the real-world implications for young adults facing student loans, housing costs, and present bias. This episode argues that the single most powerful lever in your financial life isn't the size of your contributions—it's the amount of time your money has to compound.
