The Most Important Retirement Table You'll Ever See
When I reflect on my own personal investing history, there's clearly a "most important retirement table" that I remember seeing. I was in my 20s at a new job, and as part of a retirement benefit presentation, we were presented with a table showing how money grows.
At the time, I hadn't had much financial education in my life and hadn't yet gone to business school, so the information was new to me -- and it was a massive wake-up call. I quickly saw that I'd be much better off investing in stocks for the long run than simply stockpiling excess income in a bank account.
