Few really appreciate the power of compound interest. If you grow 10% annually, after 10 years you’ll be up 159.4%.
Gains will start slow but then add up.
Focus on earning and investing more, and the "boring" 10% return from the S&P 500 will become "fun."
A 10% gain on $1,000 may feel boring at first, but a 10% gain on $1,000,000 won't be.
