The lazy way to get rich - MoneyWeek Investment Tutorials

[@andreibaracuda]

Compounding is powerful indeed. I get reminded of that every month when I pay my mortgage.

[@unrewritable]

Jimmy Chang So are you saying that is better to rent your entire life and put whatever is left on a compound interest account?

[@chbouquot]

unrewritable problem with renting is that you are paying someone else’s mortgage and rent is always adjusted for inflation.

[@Maryladudek]

My perspective on this after my experience with subject is that you do not have to be THE villian to make millions, you just need to be in the right loop. Just as pointed out you just have to be strategic and innovative. I am not saying I know everything about money laundering but I know that a lot of you already have what it takes to be in the loop to consistently make hundreds of dollars daily. You just need to be in touch with the right people, just like i luckily got in touch with BinaryReap3r who changed my life. I will forever be grateful. Here's his contact [e-mail]

[@Batcaveqq]

what?

[@zarifshoeb]

Annual return of the S&P500 since 1993 is 10.25%. So over 31 years the return was over 10%. And that’s just I’d you put all your money into S&P500 and not put into other stocks like Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon,google and other top blue chip stocks. So 10% per year is very conservative so is $100 a month. How can someone not do that is beyond me. The video was very realistic.

[@x2x3456]

I've known about the power of compounding for a while now, but I always find myself rewatching these videos for entertainment value!

[@msh9790]

Edutainment

[@MoneyWeekVideos]

Ah yes but so many people never give it a chance to work even at low rates. For example half your return from the S&P 500 since 1925 has been reinvested (and compounded) dividends. Yet many people treat dividends as ready cash instead and spend them. Others pay managers far too much in fees forgetting that a difference of just 1% a year in fees over 30 years on a decent fund is huge! Compounding won't make everyone rich but those who ignore it will end up poor - that I guarantee. Cheers Tim.

[@randy52000]

people in the comments section obviously don't realize the point of investing:,which is taking the extra money you have but do not urgently need, to generate more wealth later in the future, enough to cover both wants and needs. If you spend all you money right now, you will only get some extra "pizzas", slightly better car, slightly better home, watch more movies, etc.. but if you invest them, compound your earnings, you give up some pleasures right now, but you will have money for when you want a beach house, a Lamborghini... , which you will NEVER EVER get if you spend all you money in the first place, or when you need it, like in emergencies, maybe a close friend desperately need it, family member, broke, sick in hospital, or yourself needing an operation costing $500K to stay alive. That said, it is best to start investing as young as possible, as compounding is as powerful as the amount of time you have.

[@triggertrader9081]

I love the way how you speak. Explained clearly.

[@NicosMind]

I remember seeing a good example one time about compound interest. Lets say you save 2000 per year at 5% compound interest. So first year youll have 2100, second year 4305 etc. Now at the end of 10 years youll have 26413.55. Which is a 6 &1/2 grand return on your 20g investment. Now just say you stop saving and a friend of yours starts. On year 20 youll have 43024.80 and your friend 26413.55. By year 30 youll have 70082.88 and your friend will have 69438.41. And thats cause you started early!

[@stevehansen3231]

Maybe another takeaway lesson is the effect compound interest has on the receiving end - as in debt and why every effort to avoid it should be expended.

afnankhokhar - Yes I agree inflation needs to be taken into account to get a real annual return. But even with a lower real return the compounding effect is how you beat inflation over the long term. Interest on interest is the key...Tim.

[@zarifshoeb]

@@CarnifaxMachinethat’s pretty much impossible for the median household. 401k max limit is 23,000 and Roth IRA max is 7000 in 2024. Adds up to 30,000 or $2500 per month which is virtually impossible for an average household. But I agree it will be awesome if you can do that.

[@nomsdeguerre]

Hi there, I get your point, however, banks fixed annual rate is higher than monthly or quarterly interest rates. So, even if you start getting interest earlier and you start compounding you still end up getting less than what you would have made by simply putting it in a bank annually. Now of course a lot depends on the rates the banks provide, but I think they set it up so that the annual rates r better. You r the expert so correct me if I am wrong :) great vids.

[@MissHappyToast]

What's the point of money if you can't spend it? All you're doing is growing your pot until you're 65, then you die and you don't benefit from all that work you did all your life thinking about where to reinvest your money. It's a good concept but really what you're sacrificing is the intrinsical value of money - the pleasure of spending it - for the sake of some lousy 2% rate, which will probably be cancelled out by inflation anyway.

When you buy something, even online, if you may be able to choose to get an invoice instead of paying by credit card. The company you bought from, say Macy's, doesn't want to chase you down to get you to pay. So another company pays Macy's right away and buys that invoice, and its them who sends out reminders to pay and add on fees if you don't and eventually chase you down. They are not "banks" in the regular sense, but financial institutions. There are several in Sweden.

Yes, the companies stocks go down because it just gave away its money, so the company's "worth" has decreased. But its also because some people just buy to get the dividends and then sell the day after they get it. But most of the stock price is speculative, so the stock can bounce up soon after.

[@BigHenFor]

Not really. Compounding needs lots of Time, because Compounding relies on the difference over time between a initial sum - the principl - invested and the resulting sum if the principal attracts a periodic return over a period, and that return is reinvested. Compounding is model of exponential growth. That is something that isn't guaranteed when investing. Savers can benefit from compounding but, only over short periods of time. Thank you.

Spread your investments around to avoid taking a large hit if the market falls. Lastly... get yourself a reliable financial advisor.

People that did dollar cost averaging with only large established company stocks during the 1920s still produced 8% compounded annual growth during the crash of 1929 and the great depression.

[@VIKDR1]

No banks don't pay 10%, but you don't invest your money in a bank account. Banks are for storing money, not investing. There are times when bonds have paid 10%, (70's,) The average return for all of the 1900's for the S&P 500 was over 10%, (dividends reinvested.) If your smart, you can beat the S&P. And this is a simple concept that most people ignore, and yes understanding it can make you rich. Especially if you learn to double the S&P as Buffet, or Lynch did.

[@panama-canada]

This is bogus! I opened my Excel spreadsheet and played with the numbers a bit. So instead of 100, I invested 1000 a year, and then added 1000 every year and compounded over 20 years for 5%. I ended up with dismal 34000 after 20 freaking years! That's not the way to make money!

[@GhostInTheShell29]

I believe you did the math with a 5% flat rate compounded annually. I've never figured out how to make excel do real compound interest Interest, but if you change the Interest to compound monthly, and invest the 1000 a year in 83 dollar chunks every month. You can actually get just under 37K. Unfortunately compound Interest only really makes you rich if your using made up return rates like 10% and have an entire life time.

[@GnaugaJ]

See if you can find a free amortization spreadsheet online. Some even include a randomizing function to simulate fluctuations in the markets. In this way, you will see how changes in the market impact your investment long term. It can be a very sobering set of calculations which shows you how much difference a "less stable" investment makes in your long term return. Good Luck.

[@SpecialPenguinnn]

If only you could make 5% a week and compound it for 5 years.. oh wait you can. :D you're welcome.

[@CoffeePoints]

Because you only did it for 20 years. 20 years isn't considered long term enough for compounding to take effect

[@zarifshoeb]

Why are you doing 5% ? If you’re extremely conservative and put all that money in S&P 500, you’ll get an average of 10.25% a year which gets you 58,691. So just by putting in 20,00 all together for 20 years, you’re getting 58,691 which is an incredible 293% return on investment. Even with your calculation at 5% its 164% return on investment which is crazy !

[@nomsdeguerre]

Also, another thing I have realized is that the interest rates banks pay helps you maintain the real value of money adjusted to inflation. So in essence all you've done it make sure you don't lose the value of say $100 over the course of the year. So my question what other "lazy" ways are there which can help u add to the value of your money rather than simply maintaining it...--there must be something - Help. :)

[@dynerebon05]

This compound method is flaw and does not get anybody rich. If you save at 15 years old to 75 years old in the US, the inflation percentage is 870% or 8.7x over the last 60 years (1956-2016) according to the US CPI Inflation website. That equals to 1.4% inflation point per year. Your 5% compound interest minus 1.4% = 3.6%. But today there is no such thing as 5% interest except for like government bond. 2% is the going rate right now. So 2% interest minus 1.4% inflation = .6% yield. So if you invested $100 total for year one, you will only get $100.6 back at the end of the year. A 6 cent yield......wow. And then don't forget the 15% taxes on your gain. If you stop investing at year one, you will owe .09 cent on your 6 cent yield = 5.1 cent yield. Holy crap! 5 cents! You can make more money looking for loose coins on the street.

[@2011blueman]

+sixpack samurai Your math/logic is flawed. Interest rates go up and down with inflation, you're trying to argue using the average inflation rate over the last 60 years as compared to the current interest rate, except the current inflation rate is also close to zero (0.9% through the 12 months ended March 2016). Furthermore, the average annual return for the S&P 500 since its inception in 1928 through 2014 is approximately 10%.

[@zarifshoeb]

The S&P 500 etf has been returning 10.25% return for well over 30 years. Also, interest rate changes with inflation and also if you reinvest your dividends, it will grow much quicker. Another point is you don’t pay taxes on unrealized gains or pay very little tax on long term gains. Also, if you put money into the Roth IRA, it’s only taxed when you put it in. Also, the gains on your Roth IRA is tax free forever. So you can withdraw all of that money including the gains at 59.5 without paying any taxes whatsoever.

There's a caveat here: the accrued interest cannot grow unbounded as the number of payments per timescale grows, the factor your capital increases by is bounded above by exp(interest rate).

[@dredericktotem1245]

⏩ the factor your capital increases by is bounded above by exp(interest rate) ⏪ I didn't understand what you meant, here. _Why_ is the growth bounded by the interest rate? Perhaps a quick example to illustrate since I don't see what you mean at all.

[@hayeder]

***** There is no corresponding example, it's because lim(n -> infinity) of (1 + x/n)^n = exp(x). Which is the infinite payment per timescale limit of the compound interest. (There's another caveat here, which is that the sequence is strictly increasing, so the total interest always increases with an increase in payments per timescale.)

Manuel Medina and that's a bear minimum I plan on working with family for 2 years for 16k annually give or miss a thew thousand depending on work.....I hope to save all this money and buy shares in multiple companies and find what one I'm comfortable with..

[@Omnislash2000]

Look at funds, Trusts or stocks. AXA Biotech fund has returned c400% since launching. Roughly 60% per annum.

[@Maffoo]

Are we talking about £100 a month plus 7% annually or £100 a month plus 7%/12 monthly? Because they result in different values and either way I can't get your exact result when doing it in Excel. Close, but no cigar.

[@kennethlam2746]

It is just math 101. Nothing related to get rich

[@BigHenFor]

Lol. You mean getting rich quick. But that rarely happens.

[@danielmbcutler]

what do you mean by invest? specifically does that mean to buy something or just put it in a bank account?

[@zarifshoeb]

Buying stocks, etfs, mutual funds, bonds, commodities, etc. 10% on a bank is virtually impossible to come by.

[@Nick23003]

you're lucky to get %3 interest rate

[@dontworryaboutitcuhss]

Nicky Halpin Not true, I invested in two stocks last year and my growth for each was 20% on one and 17% on another. Just do some digging.

[@Nick23003]

yeah and i bet ur with fairygodmotherbanks arent you

[@dontworryaboutitcuhss]

Nicky Halpin I have no idea what that means

[@jasons812]

its actually beyond easy if you do only a little bit of research. 10-20% is very achievable if you know where to put your money

[@QualityContentQC]

Well... I'm up like 9% on my stash Here's $5. Try this out: get.stashinvest.com/quentindfs9e

[@armenbalkchyan2265]

Charges aren't the only cause of earnings reduction; you should also take under consideration the fact of inflation. For instance, if the annual deposit rate is 7%, charges are 4% and the inflation rate is 4%, you will lose the real value of your money by roughly 1% per year.

[@machinefannatic99]

who wants a million when your 65

[@Ragnar6000]

shango thomas I suppose its better then being broke at 65?

[@Ragnar6000]

***** Correct..you can retire a lot younger then 65 if you start young keep adding each year and reinvest the dividends..also not that hard to even average 10% if you get 5% in dividends then you are half way there!....a good solid company should easily grow by 5% per year also....for myself I like to aim for 12-15% returns :)

[@Ragnar6000]

***** Vanguard is ok and I would keep adding money to that!....15% is more of an average over time!..so one year it might be 7% then the next 25% but over time you get a compound average of say 12%+...you just have to be a bit more active and do research on stocks and weed out the good ones!

[@RRanks]

***** ***** - All I see is 2 vikings arguing over plunder! Good to see nothing has changed.

Ryan just admit it...you want to join us on our next raid...:)

[@zuneid375]

thank u, i thought this just this week, and ur video is showing the concept in my brain. Thank u, nice and easy

[@adultbroker1319]

i live in the united states so the answer to your question is yes...yes I i do want a free lunch

[@HansJuergen18]

short trip to maths: say n is the number of times you get interest i, in a given time period and C is the capital you invest: C*(1+i/n)^n=C*e^i for n->inf

[@tonilerigoleur]

The calculation you're doing are wrong according to logic and financial mathematics. You can't divide 5% by 4 to get your trimestral rate. This goes against logic because if you start from 100 pounds, in the first trimester you'll be at 101,25 pounds, but then at the end of the first semester, you get 101,25*1,0125=102.515625 pounds ending the year at 105.0945 as you say in the video but this is not if you're offered 5% annual rate, this is if you're offered a 1,25% trimestral rate. According to financial mathematics, if you're told you get 5% annually, this means you get trimestrally 1,05^(1/4)=1.0122722 or 1,22722%. I know this video is old but to avoid getting people confused you should erase this video. Hope you'll do the right thing. Best regards, Toni

[@zarifshoeb]

He said if you’re paid interest QUARTERLY. So instead of 5% at the end of the year, you get 1.25% every quarter.

[@onthebeats5698]

Guys this doesnt work unless you get someone to give you interest beating inflation. so basically you are losing money but you think you are getting richer but your value of money keeps decreasing over the years

[@abialo2010]

lets see your portfolio if this actually worked. you cant find investments that will give back 5% anymore. its 2016 not 1960

[@Ro1andDesign]

My portfolio performance over 2016 was around 20% If you do enough research, times can be better than 1960.. I hope you can make it work!

[@emmanuelcadet3510]

Ro1and Hi, what your trading platform?

[@WatNeyHD]

What are you on about? You can literally earn 100% in a month when investing in crypto. You can also earn like 500% in a month if you trade with leverage.

[@adamgryszko986]

Lol blue chips give around 10% with little risk

[@icyboy771z]

If you do trading, you can easily make more than 5%. The best traders can make 30% or more returns a year, The top trader in etoro made 200++% returns the last 12 months

[@birdie858]

Good video. You are really getting hit hard by spammers in your comments though. Have you done any tutorials on finding somewhere to invest this kind of money?

[@kparker1ful]

10% interest haha

[@lukahenigman8453]

kparker1ful Banks at this moment won't give you that, but P2P lending is closer to 7-10% annual ROI.

[@zarifshoeb]

Look up S&P 500 returns. It’s been an average of 10.25% over more than 50 years.

[@whitemoon5752]

What investment gives you compound interest? Dividends? Those are one off payments? Bonds same like interest? What gives you compound and that too at 5%?

[@CzechRiot]

Nobody gets rich this way.

[@kaivikko2160]

Every multimilionare have...

[@CzechRiot]

only if they were already born with a couple million.

[@kaivikko2160]

No just think about it. If u save first like 1k and u put every month to the same account 150$ after 15year u have almost 100k and u have earn almost 30k free money(what u didint have without saving) If u have good income and u put every month 550$ to that account and wait same 15year u have almost 300k then and u have earn like 100k. In 40year with 550$ monthly saving u have milion after that 40year

[@CzechRiot]

Having over a million by the time you're old and weak and about to die is not really my definition of "getting rich".

[@kaivikko2160]

If u have money to put 10k in month in that saving account it would take under 6years. put i think u dont have 10k every month

[@fubar8229]

In China right now the rate is 5% . You put 1 million in the bank then it’s 50 thousand interest , but cause the gdp growths been sliding for years , high rate like this won’t last for too long ...

[@stevie6621]

This is the jew way to get rich

[@mayankparmar2990]

idk about uk and usa but in india , you can easily get 40 to 60 % return on stocks per year. In 2017 i captured 3 multibeggar companies in which 2 grew more than 80 percent and 1 grew by 200% . i think BRICS countries have so many companies with so better valuation than US and UK.

[@TheKemi10]

Were can I find investment tools like this that will pay out compound interest?

[@zarifshoeb]

S&P 500

[@MsNancy45]

Thanks for your video. I am watching all of your videos.

[@TheBooban]

I don't think that's why. The short of it is that the investors own the company and if the owners want dividends the company is obliged to give it.

[@sang3Eta]

How many companies in the S&P500 are still around from 1925? Indexes are missleading, because they replace companies that go bust or do badly, so they do not reflect the losses.

[@paulconley2831]

It's already been said but I have to repeat this. This is a good strategy for a decent retirement. The only way to get rich this way is to start with a much much larger sum than 100.

[@rcstar07]

so where can I invest money to recieve compound interest?

[@zarifshoeb]

Stock market. If you’re starting out, S&P 500 etf is an excellent idea.

[@pain_codm]

What type of investment is this?

[@DontTestTheX]

In the real world of 2016, one requires substantial capital (1m+) to make a decent return by compounding cash in the bank (at say 1.5%). I can make 10% on commercial property but it is impossible to reinvest the monthly rental income immediately at 10%, or even annually.

[@2011blueman]

+DontTestTheX The average annual return for the S&P 500 since its inception in 1928 through 2014 is approximately 10%. You can just buy the VOO ETF which tracks the S&P 500.

[@DontTestTheX]

+Leggo My Ego If someone had bought the S&P500 just before the dot.com crash in 2000 they'd probably have made 1% a year up to now. Timing is everything.

[@2011blueman]

DontTestTheX The annualized return from Jan 1 2000 to Dec 31 2015 was 4.02% per year. Your return if you were dollar cost averaging and continously buying month after month, year after year, would be much higher. For the annualized return of the market you can see it here: www.moneychimp.com/features/market_cagr.htm

[@2011blueman]

***** Except you are trying to time the market. It's better to just dollar-cost-average and buy the market at continuous intervals than it is to try to time the market.

[@DontTestTheX]

+Leggo My Ego Yeah...

[@killoreo]

Is that the dividend yield percentage?

[@motyessam9321]

problem is banks won't pay 5% on a quarterly investment. 5% on an annual and 3.5% on a quarterly (for example) This theory is great and the best thing about investing with banks is security. Your money is probably most safest with them. But this isn't a way to get rich. You will be in a constant battle with inflation. Stock market is a far quicker way to make money. With great risk comes great rewards!

[@MrRobocop12]

commodities are really one of the best think IF YOUR GOING LONG TERM....Some people gold till they are in the 60s and goes on 2 factors scarcity and inflation

[@TomSleeUK]

Do cash NISAs do the same thing with compounding as in this videos?

[@1greenMitsi]

this is genius!! never have to work again!..now where can I borrow a lazy £1000000 to get rich?

[@kleinesap]

problem with this is simple. First of all, the assumption that there is no risk in your investment, which is possible but the return will be very low, in addition, inflation had to accounted for, 60 years ago a pound bought you a lot more than it does now. Finally and most importantly,is WHEN do you want to spend your money. Do you wanna spend it when you are 65 old and grey , or when your young on holiday with your mates or new gf or whatever. Me personally want to enjoy life while I am young, of course you need a pension,but dont save up too much, money decreases in value these days, and you wont have any energy to spend it anyway, instead live out your fantasies as much as possible (but avoid debts)

[@justinrobertson5516]

This is the realest quote I've read in a long time and the best point made life is an adventure to live. Do it while ur young and can do anything rather when ur so old u can't really enjoy it and u just go to sleep everyday.

[@pickimo892]

But where can I find a way to receive compounded interest for my money ? Savings accounts in the UK hardly give you anything

[@napamodesto8001]

How can you say this is lazy when keeping your money invested requires patience, dedication and foresight? This isnt lazy by any strech. It also gives the impression that it easy. It isnt and also this strategy takes a long time to come into fruition but it's worth it.

[@dkfaust]

does this also wrk with amurican money or just poundz?

[@BUSINESSfirstt]

lol this is a stupid question but do put your money in a normal debit account or ssavings account?

[@zarifshoeb]

Stock market

[@shock80ey]

How does it work if you are investing in common stock? Only with dividends?

[@zarifshoeb]

No. The stock grows annually by say 10%. So at the end of the year, you have 110. Now next year it grows another 10% to give you 121 and so on. And then the reinvested dividend are extra money that’s going in besides your 100 monthly contribution.

[@blanktitle198]

what do you have to do to avoid the charges?

[@ritamanandhar5160]

How often do you make money though? I've been generating monthly payments for a whole year after downloading Household Wage Project (GOOGLE IT). It wont be available for much longer though...

[@mynemjefflol]

Take into account inflation too. Sure you have 1.2m, but what is it worth?

[@smissions7340]

Joshkiderp more than you will ever need? how many years do you expect to survive past 60? :)

[@mynemjefflol]

I doubt I'll even make 60 :P

[@TheBooban]

What country are you in? I am in Sweden. My regular bank has like 1.4% interest in the savings account, 0 in the checking account. I do have another financial bank (ie banks which try to claim debts) which I put my money for 3.25%. It is deposit guaranteed, I see it accumulate daily, it pays out each year and no conditions, I can take out my money at any time without losing any interest gained. Its safe, nothing fishy about it. House loan at 3.56% so I just save my money rather than pay off.

[@SocialTradingAula]

You can put your money in a instant access savings account. 5%-10% of your money that you need quick for repairs, insurances or any other bill. The rest of your money you can invest mid to long term. (stocks, bonds or more risky assets like Social Trading, Crowdfunding etc.) You also should start a monthly savings plan. Time will always help you :)

[@OneCreator87]

This is actually the reason why the rich can only become richier over the years, if you doubt it go and play with a compund interest calculator.
