Power of Compound Growth - Mackenzie Investments
Take advantage of time and the power of compound growth
This chart shows the significance of maintaining a strategy of investing regularly. However, it is also a compelling illustration of the importance of investing early.
The table depicts scenarios for two different investors ? Early Elaine and Late Larry ? each of whom earns an assumed annual return of 8%.
From age 25 to 36, Elaine makes RRSP contributions of $4,000 each January. Over this twelve-year period, she will have invested a total of $48,000.
Larry only begins investing at age 37, contributing $4,000 to an RRSP each January. For the next 35 years, he will have contributed a total of $140,000.
However, at age 71, Elaine's account would be worth 63% more than Larry's.
Take advantage of time and the power of compound growth. All it takes is planning.
So don't approach RRSP investing by asking if you can afford to invest. Ask yourself: "Can I afford not to?"
