Do you know the Rule of 72?

00:00:03.300 --> 00:00:06.270 align:middle line:84%
It's an easy way to calculate
just how long it's going

00:00:06.270 --> 00:00:07.890 align:middle line:90%
to take your money to double.

00:00:07.890 --> 00:00:11.100 align:middle line:84%
Just take the number 72 and
divide it by the interest rate

00:00:11.100 --> 00:00:12.420 align:middle line:90%
you hope to earn.

00:00:12.420 --> 00:00:14.520 align:middle line:84%
That number gives you
the approximate number

00:00:14.520 --> 00:00:16.920 align:middle line:84%
of years it will take for
your investment to double.

00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:20.820 align:middle line:10%
As you can see, a one-time
contribution of $10,000

00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:25.200 align:middle line:10%
doubles six more times at
a 12% return than at 3%.

00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:27.660 align:middle line:10%
How many doubling periods
do you have in your life?
