GENO says:

The magic of compound interest: your money earns money, and then THAT money earns money. Starting 10 years earlier doesn't just add 10 years of savings β€” it can DOUBLE your final wealth. Time is your greatest asset!

πŸ“ The Compound Interest Formula

A = P(1 + r/n)nt
A = Final amount
P = Principal (starting amount)
r = Annual interest rate
n = Times compounded per year
t = Number of years
