Compound Interest

In plain English

When your money earns money, and then that money earns money too. It builds on itself and accelerates over time.

The analogy

A snowball rolling downhill. It starts tiny, but the longer it rolls, the bigger and faster it gets.

Why it matters to you

It's why starting small today beats starting big later. The clock matters more than the amount you begin with.
