When thinking about legacy and building wealth–not just for yourself, but for your kids–compounding interest is the single biggest weapon.

Take a look at that chart.

The chart shows two kids who’s parents opened retirement accounts for them. One kid was 5, the other was 1.

Both families invested $1,980/yr for 13 years (totaling $25,740). But the difference of those 4 extra years of compounding (not contributing) equals a difference of over $1 Million!

Both families invest the same amount of money, but because one family got started sooner, their kid has 1.4X as much money.

Do you think you could come up with $2k/yr for 13yrs? What if doing so would guarantee your kid could retire?

Imagine being 13 years old and knowing that your parents already paid for your retirement.
