Start Early & Invest Often
● With the magic of compounding interest the longer you own stock the more
interest you will earn and dividends you’ll receive
● The annual return in the stock market is between 8-12% annually
● Despite the down days the market is in an upwards trend
● Late starters have to be more aggressive to receive the same benefits as an early
investor with small deposits to their account
● Investing as little as $100/month over 40 years starting when you get a job/create
an income source = over $350,000 versus investing $300/month over 25 years
starting late into your 40’s = $287,000
● That’s over 50 THOUSAND DOLLARS difference
● Start Early, don’t pay the price of lost opportunity
