To become rich, is that not what everyone wants to be? The journey to become rich is a long and tough road that the minority tread to escape mediocrity. But not many people actually achieve this dream of becoming rich. How do you become rich? One of the ways is to look at how rich people invest their money and use a similar strategy as them. And what strategy do they use? Its Compound Interest. I know of you already know this but have you wondered what other ways can this idea can be applied? What other applications are there? Compound Interest, Given the title of the eighth wonder of the world by world renowned physicist albert einstein, now you know that theres some credibility there right? Using compound interest is the most realistic way to get rich. Why? this is the same strategy of a person who holds the title of the second richest man in the world, warren buffet used. He talks about compound interest often in his talks. And because of this strategy it helps the rich to get richer as the majority of rich people use this strategy to invest their money. To become rich you need compound interest. To understand what compound interest essentially is. Face it, saving continuosly is a bad idea as money loses its value overtime and in order to evade that you want to save to invest, allow your money to compound overtime. You want to put your money in a place that keeps increasing even if you are doing absolutely nothing at all. You want to let your money work for you not the other way round as to work for the money. To understand compound interest, we must first look at simple interest. Okay, lets just say as an example we invest one thousand dollars into the stock market at the rate of return ten percent annually. That means that every year your one thousand grows by a hundred dollars, not bad invest eh? Sure after that, you can take your money out and spend it or you can reinvest it back. Which would you choose? For you to quickly spend it off or for your money to grow and increase its rate of growth? Obviously you would choose the latter. But what happens when you reinvest your one hundred dollars back? The principle sum becomes one thousand and one hundred dollars. Now lets say what happens if we wait and do nothing for ten years? If you chose to take out your money, it would have amounted up to two thousand dollars. But what happens if we reinvest? It would have amounted up to two thousand, five hundred and ninety four dollars! See the difference? Sure this isn't the fastest way on our road to become rich but it is the most realistic way to do so. Just by saving to invest every month and letting it to compound overtime will allow you to reap large benefits. If you were to save to invest at an young age and when you grow old, with compound interest won't you have enough money to retire and live without worries? Sure some of you are hotblooded and want to get rich immediately! But if you are keeping your money in your bank to lose value overtime why not invest and let it grow overtime with compound interest? Be wise with your money. Savers are losers. Savers who save to invest are winners.
