Why It's Powerful

Compound interest is powerful because the earlier you start, the more time your money has to grow on top of itself. It's like a snowball rolling down a hill – the longer it rolls, the bigger it gets.

So, starting to invest early means your money has more time to grow and multiply, making you much richer in the long run!
