The Magic of Compound Interest

Compound interest means your money makes money—and then that money makes more money. It's not just addition; it's multiplication.

Your Personal Connection

Think about basketball practice. You don't just get better at shooting—you also get better at reading the game, which makes you better at everything else. Your skills compound. Money works the same way.
