Have you ever wondered how people get rich from the stock market when the average stock market return is only 7%?


The chart above answers this perfectly, the answer is in compound interest.

Once you put money into the market, that money creates a little more money, which is called interest.  Now that money plus the interest earns even more interest the next year, which gets added in to generate even more the next year.  This is how money works for you, the longer you leave it in, the more money it creates to make even more money for you.  Get the picture?  Start investing now on a regular schedule, and it'll add up big time long term!  Don't wait though, the difference of just a few years will cost you big time later!
