Welcome back to another episode of the 360 Money Matters Podcast!
In this episode, we break down how compounding really works, using real examples to show why starting early matters more than starting big. We explain the Rule of 72, share Warren Buffett’s wealth story, and discuss why most people struggle to grasp how powerful compounding can be.
We also cover the psychology behind delaying investment, the importance of dividend reinvestment, and why superannuation works so well as a compounding vehicle.
Listen to this episode to understand why the best time to start investing was yesterday, and the second best time is today.
