Smart Personal Finance Strategies

Delaying investing, even for a few years, can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars in the long run. This is due to the time value of money—the powerful effect of compound interest means money you have now is worth more than the same amount in the future. We illustrate how someone who starts investing early and stops can end up with more money than someone who starts later but invests for a longer period. The lesson is clear: the best time to start investing was yesterday. The next best time is now.
