Albert Einstein famously called compound interest the 8th wonder of the world (I don't know who can verify this) and he isn't wrong. But what he forgets to mention is that interest can also be your greatest enemy.

Interest is one of those words that is used throughout personal finance and if you don't fully understand what it means, then the rest of personal finance will be hard to understand. So this episode is all about making sure that you know what interest means and how you can use interest in your favor.
