@c_buildingquietwealth: “I’m 52…is it too late to start investing?” I get this question every week, and the answer is… NO!! You’ve got 10, maybe 15 good years before you retire. That’s not a consolation prize. That’s plenty of time for compound growth to do its thing. ✖️Here’s the math: Using a very conservative 7% annual rate of return (the S&P 500 has averaged closer to 10.5% a year since 1957)… Option 1️⃣: Do nothing. Result: $0 Option 2️⃣: Put $500/month into a low-cost S&P 500 index fund. Result: 10 years: ~ $86,000 15 years: ~ $158,000 Over those 15 years you’d put in $90,000. The other $68,000? Growth from the market you didn’t lift a finger for. Don’t believe me? Run it with your own numbers using the compound interest calculator at Investor.gov (not sponsored). $250/month or $1,000/month. The overall direction of the growth trajectory doesn’t change. You’re not too late. You just haven’t started yet. That changes today!
