Assuming the son is about 20 years old, he’ll enjoy those 1.8M when he is 78 years old. But if he keep investing 300 per month, he’ll have 1.8M at 68.

Actually if you invest in a stock like say like Altria(MO) which has a current dividend yield of 9.26% assuming it keeps this same level reinvesting dividends and adjusting account balance to market growth you will have $175,178 in account value with a quarterly dividend of $4,055. But if you do this for 16 years you will have an account value of $1,586,364 with a quarterly dividend of $36,724. So by 35 years old you would be making $144,000 per year and if you get married and file joint you only pay taxes on about $20,000 of that money. Now if you use Realty Income(O) with a yield of 5.26% but it pays out monthly so after 8 years without market adjustment you will have about $233,848 in account balance and if you wait 13 years then you make $1,292,435 total balance with a monthly dividend of $21,809 which is $261,708 per year. So starting at 19 with 300 a month you will be retired by 35 the latest. If your parents was smart and put money to an investment account each birthday you would be retiring in your mid 20's.

@michaelklippi these are the types of questions you should ask a financial advisor to get personalized financial advice. Robbins was referring to in index fund (collection of stocks representing the overall market; passively managed will typically get you the best return on average) when he mentioned “10%” which experts say is not a realistic number to expect in the future as it is theoretically impossible for the market to sustain 10% growth forever (experts predict the market will grow 5-7% on average during our lifetimes, but no one knows for sure). These are “buy and hold” investments that you don’t look at day to day and don’t consider selling until you are at retirement age (ideally done through a traditional or Roth IRA for tax savings) and are not liquid. If you have extra cash laying around you can always invest that in stocks (or an index fund) but you’re exposing yourself to more risk if you need to sell in the short-term as they can dip day to day. If you’re trying to invest spare cash that you would like readily access to, there are other options to consider that provide fixed rates of return that would counteract inflation. But again, this is a very nuanced question and heavily depends on your situation and financial goals so I recommend you talk to an expert to get the advice tailored for you.

[@jasoonmo]

Just so everyone knows, you could also just invest the same total at that age (28,000 lump sum) and you'd be fully on track with the investment projection. You do not have to stop at a monthly amount either, you can add in other lump sum payments at any time. The principle is simple, the bigger the amount, and the earlier you can get it in there, the more time compound interest has to work. If you look at projections, most of the growth is in the final tenth of the maturity of the investment, so if you can cut the time by 1 or 2 tenths , you get to that massive growth exponentially faster as well.

Because it doesn’t work that way, there’s a formula you can look up that solves this pretty easy.

So Tony is a moron but his math isn't so far off. If you invest $300/m from 18-26 then stop and leave it all invested assuming a 8% linear gain from 18-65 the $28,800 you invested would be $900,133. His math is incorrect but the general advise isn't. Let's say more realistic you do $100/check so $200 a month but do it from 18-65 never increasing it. From 18-65 you put in $112,800 and assuming the same 8% gain thats $1,242,475. The principal of invest early and a small amount will make you rich is correct. Even just $20/week from 18-65 which for 99% of people is doable is you putting in $49,068 and its worth $540,477. Compound interest is how the rich gets rich.

[@themonster9879]

@@nickzhaosun it’s hard to know exactly what the answer (time wise) would be depending on the type of compounding that is taking place. You would need to know exactly what system he is using to get close to the answer he got, but you can’t just take payments per year times 8% because that is simple interest. They would be compounding per month or by weekly, you could even compound continuously, each of which all change the answer. Let’s just call it monthly which will be the slowest of the 3 mentioned. In the first year you would think you would end at ~$3800 but it’s actually about $4000. And by the end of the 8 years you would have ~40k not 31k after interest. 9 years after that your 40k without adding extra money would already have doubled. 58 years after you started investing you would be over 1.8million. So while it does sound dumb to have 1.8million at age 77, technically would get you to where you would have a good amount of money, making around $15k a year from interest/returns 30 years after you started investing. But then again who would stop investing money after 8 years, if you continued the 300 a month for the same amount of time it would be over 4 million.

[@themonster9879]

@@nickzhaosun it keeps deleting my comment, but if you do the math after 8 years the 28,800 is worth 40k add nine years of no annuity it’s 80k. After 58 total years including the years with the annuity it’s 1.8 million. After 30 years from the start you would be making over 15k a year just off of interest. This math is based off of monthly compounding interest. To get the same time frame you would would have to know what type of compounding interest he was using. Daily weekly, bi weekly, monthly or even continuously. The longer the interval the slower it will compound, at smaller principal the difference is less but when you get to 250k it will make a huge difference.
