Quiz preview

Compound growth rewards time in retirement saving because:

The government adds bonus compound interest to all retirement savings above 1000000 in local currency

Returns earned on investments generate their own further returns exponentially over decades

Compound growth only applies to bank savings accounts not to pension investments

You earn the same total return whether you start at 20 or 40 since amounts matter more than timing

Starting retirement saving at age 20 versus 40 results in:

Significantly more wealth at retirement due to 20 extra years of compounding

The same outcome since the contribution amount matters more than when you start

Less wealth at retirement since longer investment periods increase accumulated fees

Marginally more wealth since the market returns are unpredictable over long periods
