Warning: The Biggest Lie About Compound Interest
By: Owen Stobbe
Have you wondered why financial experts only tell you certain things about
building wealth? Do you think its in their best interest to tell you the
absolute truth?
LIE: The Magic of Compound Interest : Save $X per month and you can retire RICH.
FACT: Compound Interest works only for the very few. The very few who began
investing in their 20's and NEVER, EVER, EVER STOPPED. They didn't stop when
they bought a car, house. Got married, had kids. Paid lots of bills, mortgage
payments, loan payments, credit card payments. For the rest of us life expenses
cost money, and so your savings account that you had been contributing monthly
to gets sucked dry.
You've also seen the magical compound interest investment chart:
Invest $X/mth and after 10 yrs you'll have good cat food money.
Invest $X/mth and after 20 yrs you'll have gourmet Kraft dinner.
Invest $X/mth and after 30 yrs you'll be a millionaire.
Invest $X/mth and after 40 yrs you'll be a bazillionaire.
Now follow me closely on this next point...
Who in the HECK wants to work for the next 40 yrs and has the DILIGENCE to
continously invest monthly without stopping your contribution or WITHDRAWING any
money at all.
Listen...The magic on compound interest benefits YOUR BANK. There I said it.
YOUR BANK loves compound interest. Guess what they charge you on your mortgage?
Guess what they charge you on your credit cards?
I would smile if I was the bank president to.
#1. Today's investors don't have the patience to let compound interest work its
real magic.
#2. The market's haven't been exactly going up in the last few years either...
So, what can you do to COMBAT the lie about compound interest?
Yours for success,
Owen Stobbe
