I'm assuming most of you watching this video right now have had either a savings or checking account that earns some amount of interest. Let’s say we have $1,000 in the bank, and the bank pays us a 4% annual percentage yield on our money. These interest payments are usually paid out monthly, but for the sake of this quick example, we would earn $40 in interest over a 12-month period. If we were to leave that $1,040 in our account and continue earning 4%, we would earn an additional $1.60 from that initial interest payment of $40 by doing nothing at all. This is where the magic of compound interest starts. It is the process of growing our money exponentially. That extra $1.60 may not sound like much, but over time and with big enough numbers, compounding can deliver incredible results. 🍿 WATCH NEXT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJHr6_skXWc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQzoZfc3GwQ MY FAVORITE TOOLS & RESOURCES 📈 M1 Finance - Automate Your Investing - https://whiteboardfinance.com/go/m1-finance 📊 WeBull - Get Up To 12 FREE STOCKS - https://whiteboardfinance.com/go/webull 🏠 Get My Home Affordability Spreadsheet - https://whiteboardfinance.com/go/ytmember 🔒 Ledger - Store Your Bitcoin The Right Way - https://whiteboardfinance.com/go/ledger 💰 My FREE Stock Market For Beginners Course - https://whiteboardfinance.com/go/stocksguide MY OTHER SOCIALS: 🌍 My website - https://www.whiteboardfinance.com/ 🐦 X - https://twitter.com/whiteboardfin 📸 Instagram - https://instagram.com/whiteboardfinance WHO AM I? 👇 If we haven’t met before - 👋 I’m Marko, and I’ve been investing since 2006, and I got my finance degree in 2010.
