When it's time to retire how many people would want
a nest eggs which have 2 or 3 or 4 times greater than
what they have? With a clear answer so let me
explain how you can make it happen for yourself.
First we will explain. Rule of 72 from If you divide the
number 72 by the return on your investment
answer is the number of years it will take to double your
money. If you get 7% than 72 divided by 7 year
is equal to just over 10 so it takes 10 years to double. A
9% yield divided into 72 gives us an 8-year period to
double. An efficiency of 10% has to double. Only 7 years
Now, what return can reasonably be expected in our real
world? In the past 100 years or so the United States stock
market has returned an average of 10-11% per year depending on
whose figures one reads. We use the 10% figure.
Suppose that at the age of 37 you start saving for retirement. We
choose a reasonable amount of $ 110 per month. In 7 years
you find that you have collected 13,200 dollars. Other
7 years go by and you see that you almost $ 40,000. At
the end of 21 years you have $ 93,000. At the age of 65 you notice
that 28 years have passed and you have $ 200,000 USD.
The yield remained steadily. Those of you
with some mathematical inclinations will recognize this as a
exponentially and as compound interest. This
website has a good calculator:

Note also that 28 represents four seven-year span, time
the first dollars double to four times. Note that during
the period of the first seven-year you accumulated $ 13,000 during the
2nd period of 7 years $ 27,000 in the third period of 7 years
$ 43,000 and $ 107,000 during the 4th period. During the 4th
period you grew eight times as many as in the first period.
All without the savings, $ 110 per month.
You think to yourself, "I wish I could have twice as
much ". Perhaps figured out where this is going. Just
START 7 years earlier. Now at the end of 35 years you
$ 414,000, just before the start earlier. And if you start another
Seven years earlier, imagine, $ 846,000. You collect $ 214,000
during the period and $ 432,000 7-fifth year at the sixth
7-year period. Sixteen times and thirty-two times the amount
in the period of the first 7-year. All for the same $ 110 per
month!
Yes, I know. This could be the beginning saving on the age necessary
23, a very difficult thing to do. I also realize that those
people with marginal incomes simply do not save money
and that younger people usually have lower earnings capacity
and incomes. I am trying to make the point that what
extent you start this early concept can follow it will pay
off beautifully by the time to reach your pension.
Albert Einstein wrote that he believed the most wonderful
thing in the universe was compound interest. You can
to work and to double or triple your retirement savings. Save
much as you can, save regularly but most start as
Early as possible.
