Most people learn about compounding.

Few actually feel it.
Here is when it starts to feel real.
$50,000 invested.
At 10% per year (S&P average):
Year 10: $130,000.
Year 20: $336,000.
Year 30: $873,000.
At 25% per year (with the options layer):
(my CAGR in the last 10 years is around 25% but will likely end up closer to 20 with time)
Year 10: $465,000.
Year 20: $4.3 million.
Year 30: $39.8 million.
Same $50,000. Same 30 years.
The only variable is the system you use.
Year 1 to 5 feels slow.
Year 10 starts to feel real.
Year 20 changes everything.
The hardest part is being patient enough to get there.
The math is not complicated.
The patience is.
