DESCRIPTION
Investing early can make a world of difference when it comes to long term goals. The earlier you invest, the better you will be able to benefit from compounding - the ability of an asset to generate earnings which are then reinvested to generate their own earnings. In other words, earnings are generated from previous earnings.

Procrastination can be costly.
Accumulations are before tax based on an annual compound rate of return of 7.5% invested at the beginning of each year.
The Power of CompoundingConsider this scenario for a moment, the individual on the left invested $2,000 a year for nine years, a total of only $18,000 at which time she became disabled and stopped investing. Her friend on the right took the disability as a wake up call and decided it was time to start her own $2,000 a year investment program but she’s starting nine years later. At the age of 65, when they’re both ready to retire, there is still a difference in their investments even after one of them invested $70,000 over 35 years.
