The Power of Compound Interest: How to Build Wealth Over Time

In this video, we'll be talking about the power of compound interest and how it can help you grow your portfolio & build wealth over time. Whether you're just starting to invest or you're looking to optimize your portfolio, understanding compound interest is a critical component of your financial success.    Compound interest is the interest you earn on your original investment, plus the interest you earn on any interest you've already accumulated. In other words, the longer your money stays invested, the more interest you'll earn, and the more interest you'll earn on that interest, and so on.   To better understand the power of compound interest, let's do a simple example. Let's say you invest $10,000 at a 5% annual interest rate for 10 years. After the first year, you'll earn $500 in interest, bringing your total investment to $10,500. After the second year, you'll earn interest on your $10,500, rather than just your original $10,000, bringing the total to $11,025. As you can see, the longer you keep your money invested, the more interest you'll earn, and the more wealth you'll accumulate.   Feel free to copy this compound interest calculator to play with the numbers yourself!  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13vzbzgENMtFsokRiQ2VQm3RZyKIbWhRiV5N90lSZTPI/edit?usp=sharing  🚀  Want to see what stocks I'm buying and why?
