Just a very short message, or actually: a picture. I came across this great graph on the internet. It really substantiates the point I tried to make in my previous two blogs (#2 and #3) about compound interest.
It shows what would be the return of 1 USD invested under your bed (only inflation), on a sort of savings account (treasury bills and long-term government bonds) or in equity index funds (US large caps and US small caps).
Hope this is a good visual to better understand the power of compound interest as explained in my previous two blogs.
All the best,
