It Pays to Start Investing Early

Investing small amounts each month may not seem exciting, but the earlier you start putting it away the more money you’ll have down the road. The reason: Your earnings have time to compound—or grow—over the years.

Let’s compare investing $20,000 a year in a tax-deferred account that earns a 6% average annual return, starting at age 25 vs. age 35.

The $20,000 that you didn’t save between ages 25 and 35 will cost you $152,000 by age 65!
