Summary
The power of compound interest is an incredible phenomenon that can have a huge impact on our financial lives. As Einstein famously said, it is the 8th wonder of the world. But what exactly is compound interest, and why is it so powerful? Put simply, compound interest is interest that we receive on interest. This means that if we invest our money and earn interest, we can reinvest that interest and earn even more interest on the original investment and the interest earned. Over time, this snowballs and can lead to significant growth in our investments. In the current economic climate, interest rates are higher than they have been for some time, but there are still multiple ways to take advantage of compound interest, including through bonds, ETFs, and dividend-paying portfolios. Reinvesting dividends is a key way to ensure that compound interest is working for you. Compound interest is not only important for retirement age, everyone should be doing it, and the earlier the better. Many people have gotten into a short-term investment mentality because of low interest rates in recent years, but taking a long-term approach can lead to significant financial gains. If you're not sure where to start, consider seeking the advice of an investment advisor who can help you create a balanced portfolio that includes both investing and trading. Head over to Blue Marlin Advisors to learn what they can do for you. By harnessing the power of compound interest, you can make your money work harder for you and achieve your financial goals more quickly. What You’ll Learn: What compound interest is and how to tap into it. What a dividend aristocrat is. What percentage of your portfolio should be for trading vs investing. And much more! Favorite Quote: “Compound interest is not only important for retirement age; everyone should be doing it, and the earlier the better.” -Serge Berger
