The Quickest Way To Earn $1 Million Still Takes Time

A person finds a job, pays off all their student loans by grinding it out, and doesn’t start saving until age 25. They put away $10,000 in a retirement account, and nothing else.

Nine years later it doubles to $20,000. Big whoop, right? They can buy a compact car or a Harley.

In 25 years, it’s $75,000. Sounds like a lot, but it won’t even cover medical expenses when they are old.

No, the real no-so-secret is what happens when you put away $10,000 year after year starting as soon as you can.

In the same 25 years, you’ve got $865,000.

Will people work for 25 years? Yes.

But, here is the secret sauce. In the early years, it really seems like nothing is happening.

• The balances barely budge up.
• Tiny amounts become slightly less tiny.

If you’re like me you’re thinking nothing is happening, let’s go spend the money on a vacation or a house down payment.

It’s when the balance gets really big, when the power of compounding really starts to shine.

Think of it like a population growing. It’s exponential because you have people, they make donuts, wink-wink. And the result is more people making more donuts.

I know some of you listen with your kids and you don’t want to explain where all these people come from.

The ground, my little listeners. They are all grown on People Island from the people bushes. Then they arrive on boats and rocket ships.

Here’s the not-so-secret that most people miss. The big money comes in when you stay in it to win it.

Compound Interest at Work

Imagine you put away $10,000 a year, and in 25 years you would have $1 million.

Suppose you were 20 years old. You put away $10,000 a year, and you hit age 45 with $1 million.

Or the example you really need to hear: imagine you’re 20 years old, you put away $10,000 a year, and you have $5.6 million when you’re 65.

I love that one!

How much did the 20-year-old save? $450,000. Sounds like a lot, and it is. But it’s $10,000 a year for 45 years. Doesn’t include any raises, bonuses, promotions.

But it turned into $5.6 million

Each year the money grows and gets bigger. And then the next year it grows and gets even bigger. I’m not going to walk through an example, you need to see it using the calculator we have on the website. Link is in the show notes. Once you see the chart, it’s an a-ha moment.

The ultimate goal is to have enough money to have some fun now, and enjoy your future. If you got kids, leaving them a legacy may be on your list.

If a person thinks ‘I can’t afford to do that’ Well, they can’t afford not to. They can at least spread the message, which is free.

There are over 168,000 401(k) millionaires just at Fidelity, one of the big investment places. I don’t know about you, but those are a lot better odds than winning the lottery. And those people are millionaires today, because of compounding that started 25 years ago.

Share this big secret with your friends and family. If someone is approaching retirement or already there, your children and grandchildren need to hear this message about saving and investing. You know you’re the smart one, they need your wisdom. This can be your legacy to help them become a millionaire.
