Savings Growth
Quick fact
If you save $100 a month starting at age 25, with a 7% annual return, you'll have over $260,000 by age 65. Wait until 35, and you'll have less than half that.
Why this is interesting
You put $100 in a savings account. A year later, you have $102. It doesn't seem like much, but over decades, that tiny growth can turn into a fortune. How does slow and steady win the race?
