Working hard but gaining no ground, trying to make mortgage and car payments? When it comes to thinking about those financial obligations on the horizon, many of us figure, "Who's got the time?" - let alone the money. Save for the kids' college, retirement, maybe a nice vacation? Get real. But by squeezing out a little time to make a financial plan, and investing small sums of money, you can make time your ally and move toward achieving the financial objectives you've set for yourself or, if you have one, your family. Say you want to retire in 20 years. So today you vow to invest $5,000 each year for the next 20 years at a seven percent annual compounding rate of return, That would amount to $204,977 in 20 years. But you don't make the investment - you wait a year. At the end of that original 20 year period, you'll have $186,895. That delay will have "cost" you over $18,000. By investing early and regularly, you'll take advantage of compounding. It's the flip side of making weekly instead of monthly mortgage payments: Paying weekly reduces a debt that much faster; investing weekly provides the opportunity for faster growth. It makes sense to make time now, so you can make, more money: It'll pay off in the long term.
