ReplyDeleteCompounding outside of CPF takes tremendous discipline comprises of consistency, persistency and patience.
ReplyDeleteThe period to invest our CPF fund is short. Just that few months of exposure to the bear market..
DeleteUnfortunately our human brain is not made to easily understand the exponential function (= compounding). We are lazy and prefer to think in linear terms.
ReplyDeleteAs such the Ninth Wonder of the World can only be understood once you punch a few numbers into a financial spreadsheet and fast forward 30+ years.
I recently asked a group of Principle of Accounts-Teachers whether they believe that saving 1 Dollar a day can make you a millionaire in your lifetime. Most stared at me with open mouths. In fact one can achieve that feat.
It just takes about 70 years (which is fairly well within an average lifetime) and an annual return of 8% (historically a broad based stock market investment can achieve that).
May be some people can visualize it better.
DeleteI agree your visualization is great.
DeleteAnd once people punch their numbers into a spreadsheet and plot a chart one would say that everybody should get it.
