  • Ep. 4- The Power of Compounding & Why Your Savings Account Sucks

    Not all investments grow the same. Not all debts grow the same. Do you know the difference between simple v. compounding interest? It is an important tool when you are an investor, since your principal will grow. You earn interest on your original investment and the interest that follows. With debts, the same policy applies, but this time, working against you. Minimum payments are for the birds. 

    Join me this week as we briefly discuss the basics of simple and compounding interest and how to better understand your investments and debts.


    The Rule of 72: (72/Interest Rate)= Number of Years for the Investment to Double

    True Compound Interest Calculator: https://www.investor.gov/financial-tools-calculators/calculators/compound-interest-calculator


    Simple Interest: P x r x n

    Compounding Interest: P x (1+(r/n)) ^tn

    • P= Principal
    • r= Rate
    • n= The amount of times the investment is compounded per year
    • t= Time

    • Ep. 2- Retirement Savings & Investment Vehicles

      Saving for retirement may sound daunting, but we should understand the investment vehicles that will help us to succeed. The most powerful tools available to most of us are 401(k)'s and IRA's. Maybe you've heard about Roth 401(k)'s and Roth IRA's as well. Don't worry, we will discuss all of those today in Episode 2- Retirement Savings & Investment Vehicles. Some bonus content for this episode is the inclusion of 529 Plans and HSA's and FSA's. It is tempting to have that extra money in your paycheck today, but then you lose out of years of growth potential and upside! The last thing you want is to work your entire adult life and then have to stress about money. The more you learn to appropriately save and diversify today, the better you will be in the long run.
