COMPOUND INTEREST CALCULATOR

This is the most educational, inspirational, and purpose driven calculator available.  Investing and wealth building is a marathon and not a sprint.  We believe in a Centurion Mindset which is thinking about investments over a 100 or 200 year period.  The average annual increase by investing in the stock market is 9.8% vs 0.5% in a bank savings account.  Use this calculator to plug in those two percentages with a long term investment strategy (100-200 years) in mind and count the many ways to leave a legacy for your future family by accumulating millions, billions, and trillions in wealth through high yield investment vehicles such as participating in the stock market.  Did you know that in the US 61% of white households own stock vs 31% of black households and 28% of hispanic households?  They don't teach this in school.  We do!
