In today's episode, we're talking about compound interest and how it can help you build wealth faster or keep you in debt longer.

CALCULATORS (and how I calculated the examples in this episode)

Bankrate Credit Card Calculator

• Credit Card Balance: $6,194
• Interest Rate: 17%
• How minimum payment is calculated: 3% of balance

Investor.gov Compound Interest Calculator

First, I calculated the first 10 years of the three hypothetical women's investment:

• Initial Investment: $500
• Monthly Contribution: $500
• Length of time in years: 10
• Estimated Interest Rate: 8%
• Interest rate variance range: 2%
• Compound Frequency: Monthly

Then, I took the final age that each hypothetical woman made their last investment, and subtracted it from the age of 65 to see the impact that time would have on the $92,582.84 they would have based on the calculation above.

To do this, my inputs into the calculator looked like this:

• Initial Investment: $92,582.84
• Monthly Contribution: $0
• Length of time in years: 65 minus the hypothetical woman stopped contributing to the investment
• Estimated Interest Rate: 8%
• Interest rate variance range: 2%
• Compound Frequency: Monthly
