Albert Einstein believed that the Rule of 72 was a more important discovery than his theory of relativity. The first reference of this rule comes from Luca Pacioli who is regarded as the “Father of Accounting”. In his 1494 book Summary of Arithmetic, Geometry, Proportions and Proportionality (Summa de Arithmetic, Geometria, Proportiono et Proportionalita) he explains the importance of this rule.

  12. Biggest lesson i learnt in 2023/24 in the trading market is that nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and follow a strategy with a long term edge.

  13. It all boils down to technique, the downtrend leaves room to key in on the market and grow-substantially whether in the long or short run, it's only just easier to make profit when the market is green, a downtrend provides an equal high-yielding avenue if you have the requisite set of skills and knowledge, reason I've been using an investment-adviser to scale up in this hard time, only way I was able to raise upto $450k in the last months.

  15. Wealth/success is determined by the actions you take to acquire it. Show me a man who does not have an investment, and I will tell you how quickly he will become bankrupt. Investment is creating a safe haven for the future: with the correct investment selections that have the lowest risk and expert direction, profit and interest should be ensured.

  16. So why would I use the rule of 72 instead of going to savings calculator online ? In addition to doubling money, you can calculate any amount and any rate and even include how much you’re putting into your account monthly/yearly/daily/weekly.

  17. If you're saving money into an account with an interest rate of 1%, you're already doing it wrong. The best possible way I've come up with to save money for the future is to open a couple different savings accounts including an ISA with an interest rate of 5%, (the best thing about ISA's is they give tax free interest, if you choose a stocks and shares ISA that interest is paid to you directly rather than some banks that hold onto the interest until the end of the agreed term and will keep it if you withdraw before the time is up). Next pick one of the high interest rate £200 per month fixed deposit savings accounts and prioritise filling this first, then get a lower interest rate account of 6% that allows slightly bigger monthly deposits of £400 a month so that's 3 separate savings accounts that if you split £670 a month into as an example, you would have £112,283.44 given the current interest rates but they are likely to change a bit during this time so you can expect around a 1% rise or fall each year so this could take your potential £31,213.44 interest over or below by around 1.5%

  18. Yall know I paid taxes before and never worked in a day in mylofe until I turned 19 2019 and I'm 23 years old .😂😂😂😂❤ goodnight that's all I needed to her and see the unteire time bye.

  19. In 2024, Don't set new year financial goals without consulting a financial adviser. Their expertise ensures a solid plan for success. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments.

  20. I live in a least developed country. Instead of spending my $200 salary on a car like many other do. I put about 50% of it in fixed deposit accounts. Only 5 years already have $10.000. I'm aiming to reach $100.000 before I reached the age of 50.

  21. I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for……….

  22. The best way to double or triple your money, when poor, is doubling your value to the market. Find a niche, on something you love doing even for free,that you can become in expert, and then have excellent people’s skills, and work 24/7 and also have fun while doing it. Once you have a few millions then you can think of making money with investments. With $2,500,000 on 4% bonds you get about $100k a year minus your income taxes.
