01 / Compound interest

What does $500 a month become in 40 years?

$1.3M. You put in $240K; compounding adds the other $1.1M. Each star is $1,000: money you put in, growth earning growth. 7% a year, age 25 to 65.

Years 1–5

The first years look like nothing.

35 stars, and only 5 of them grew on their own. $30K in, $35.8K now. This is where most people decide it isn't working.

Year 11

Your money now earns more each year than you save.

This year growth adds $6.5K on top of the $6K you put in. From here on, most new stars are born, not bought.

Year 19

Growth overtakes everything you've ever put in.

$114K deposited, $123.1K grown. Most of the galaxy now comes from the galaxy itself.

Year 30 · age 55

Three decades in: $610K.

It took thirty years to get here. The next ten will add more than all thirty before them.

Year 40 · age 65

Ten more years: +$702.4K.

The last decade added more than the first three combined. 1,312 stars, and only 240 of them are deposits.

The cost of waiting

Start ten years later and you don't lose the first ten years. You lose the last ten.

Starting at 35 ends at $610K instead of $1.3M. The 703 faded stars are the ones that never get born.

Beyond money

All the returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.Naval Ravikant

Money is just where it's easiest to see. Skills, health, trust and reputation compound the same way: slow, boring, consistent, and then all at once. Start early and, as Charlie Munger put it, never interrupt it unnecessarily.
