The Power of Compound
Interest shows

00:00:03.690 --> 00:00:05.100 align:middle line:84%
how you can really
put your money

00:00:05.100 --> 00:00:07.050 align:middle line:90%
to work and watch it grow.

00:00:07.050 --> 00:00:08.850 align:middle line:84%
When you earn
interest on savings,

00:00:08.850 --> 00:00:11.880 align:middle line:84%
that interest then earns
interest on itself.

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.460 align:middle line:84%
And this amount is
compounded monthly.

00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:18.000 align:middle line:84%
The higher the interest,
the more your money grows.

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.750 align:middle line:84%
If you save $200 each
month, after 35 years,

00:00:21.750 --> 00:00:27.040 align:middle line:84%
your money would have only grown
to $148,680 at a 3% interest

00:00:27.040 --> 00:00:27.540 align:middle line:90%
rate.

00:00:27.540 --> 00:00:33.990 align:middle line:84%
At a 6% interest rate, it
would have grown to $286,370.

00:00:33.990 --> 00:00:37.360 align:middle line:84%
But if you received a 9%
interest rate on your savings,

00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:41.700 align:middle line:84%
your money would have
grown to $592,760.

00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:44.460 align:middle line:10%
So you see, the sooner
you start to save,

00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:47.040 align:middle line:10%
the greater the benefit
of compound interest.

00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:50.390 align:middle line:10%
