The Decade Investor Podcast

In this episode of The Decade Investor Podcast, Kolin talks about why contributions are more important than returns in your portfolio when it comes to growth. Especially when you are just starting out. Kolin shares the math behind his reasoning and why you need to focus on just consistently buying into your portfolio at first. The main growth from your portfolio size year over year will come from you just consistently adding more money. As your portfolio starts to grow and grow and grow, this is when compounding will slowly start to take over more and more of your account growth each year. But at first, focus on just consistently adding to your portfolio.

In this episode of The Decade Investor Podcast, Kolin talks through a conversation he had with his brother about at what point does investing make sense? People may plug $200 a month into an investing calculator & think "well that isn't worth it"? At what point does investing make sense? The problem with this idea is someone may continually push off investing until they have more money to invest, but when the time comes to invest more money, they may not have the trust in the market. This type of thinking could cause someone who has A LOT of money to invest, not win in the stock market because they have not learned to trust the market with a little bit of money.
