You think to yourself "I wish I could have twice as much". You may have figured out where this is going. Just START 7 YEARS EARLIER. Now at
end of 35 years you have $414,000, just for starting sooner. And if you start another 7 years earlier, imagine, $846,000. You accumulate $214,000 during
fifth 7-year period and $432,000 during
sixth 7-year period. Sixteen times and thirty-two times
amount in
first 7-year period. All for
same 110 dollars a month!
Yes, I know. This would require beginning saving at age 23, a very difficult thing to do. I also realize that those people with marginal incomes just don't have money to save and also that younger people usual have lower earnings power and incomes. I'm trying to make
point that to whatever extent you can follow this start-early concept it will pay off handsomely by
time you reach retirement.
Albert Einstein wrote that he believed
most marvelous thing in
universe was compound interest. You can put it to work and double or triple your retirement savings. Save as much as you can, save regularly but most of all start as EARLY as possible.
