How to Make Compound Interest Work for You

Start as Early as Possible
Time is your greatest asset. The sooner you begin saving or investing, the more compound interest can work in your favor.

  1. Invest Consistently
    Make regular contributions, even if they’re small. Consistency beats timing the market.

  2. Reinvest Your Earnings
    Don’t withdraw interest or dividends—let them grow along with your principal.

  3. Avoid Unnecessary Withdrawals
    Pulling money out early can disrupt compounding. Let your investments sit as long as possible.

  4. Choose the Right Accounts
    Use high-yield savings accounts, retirement plans like IRAs or 401(k)s, or mutual funds that offer compound growth.
