π€― A little illustration showing the impact of compound interest and why starting your investment journey early is important.
π Donβt worry if you are no longer in your 20s, the key is to start now and not wait another 5-10 years and miss out on the impact of compounding and growth.
βοΈEven if it is a small amount initially, get started and you will benefit from the impacting of compounding as it all adds up
π I have used an annual return of 8%, this is a rough estimate of the long term average return of the FTSE100 (which is an index made up of shares from the 100 biggest companies by market capitalisation on the London Stock Exchange).
π€ But donβt forget this is the long term average average! Investments will go up and down and it is important to remain invested for a long period of time. Investing isnβt a get rich quick scheme!
