Grow Your Money
It’s easier than you think to become a millionaire by the time you retire. The magic formula? Start early and save often. Add in a little self discipline and you will retire with a sound financial fortune.
You can start with just $50 a week. If a 21-year old student saves $50 a week, assuming an 8% average annual return, he’ll have over $1,000,000 in his retirement account by the time he’s 65!
