Starting from a young age I recall my parents giving me an allowance for doing certain chores around the house. Not much but to a kid it immedietaly burns a hole in your pocket. Even then your parents stressed that saving your money would prove to be so much more beneficial than running out to get the hottest toy.
Today at 35 I think to myself regularaly about those words and if I listened, how much money sould I have today. Calculating my 10 dollar a week allowance with the time that has passed.
10 × 52 = 520 dollars a year
520 × 25 = 13,000 dollars.
Wow if I would have saved from age 10 till now, I would have a cool 13 grand in my pocket.
Interesting to aay the least, however it makes you think " Doesnt it".
Can you afford to throw 20 bucks away a week. Think of the amount you would have in just 5 years.
20 × 52 = 1040
Think about that, a little over 5 grand, thats a nice little nest egg.
My point of this post was to show you how little you need to set aside each week can add up to a huge amount overtime
