Give Compounding More Runway

Work with Paul: Schedule a 30-minute conversation What if the goal that feels impossibly far away is not asking for a better return, but for something you are quietly spending every year you wait? In this episode, I get into why the years your money compounds do more of the work than the rate you earn on it, and why a low, almost boring rate stretched over enough time gets you somewhere that looks like a leap from the starting line. I explore how doubling income shows how we can underestimate compounding. And I walk through what happens to a goal when you shorten its runway by even a few years. At the end, I give you a ninety-second exercise built on the rule of 72 that turns the cost of waiting into an actual number you can look at, instead of a vague sense that you really should get around to it one of these days.
