Your Wealth Building Insights
Time is your greatest ally. Starting just 10 years earlier could more than double your final balance due to compounding.
Consistency beats amount. Investing $100 monthly for 30 years at 7% yields more than $100,000 - that's $36,000 invested becoming $100,000+!
Compounding frequency matters. Monthly compounding earns you $XX more than annual compounding with your current settings.

Dollar-Cost Averaging: Invest fixed amounts regularly (like your monthly contributions) to reduce market timing risk.
Tax-Advantaged Accounts: Use retirement accounts (401k, IRA) to let your money grow tax-free or tax-deferred.
Diversification: Spread investments across stocks, bonds, and other assets to manage risk while seeking growth.
Reinvest Dividends: Automatically reinvest dividends to buy more shares and accelerate compounding.
Automatic Increases: Gradually increase your monthly contributions as your income grows.
