While doing some weekend reading, I came across this article on compounding.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/2016/06/05/compounding-financial-concept-saving/85295910/
The line that stuck out to me was: "According to research out of George Washington University, only one-third of Americans actually get how compounding works, leaving most of the public in the dark."
This is truly disconcerting. Most American's are in charge of their retirements, yet only 1/3 of these individuals understand compounding. We need to remedy this.
Great article Dex. Thank you for sharing. I am very appreciative of my parents who taught me this principle when I was young.
