However those investors who are hoping to get that extra 15K would likely reinvest that money and have approx 27K in 10 years. In 10 years that is over 8200 Peets Decaf Mochas. Take care Jeff,

If your $5 was compounded monthly at an annual rate of 5%, it'd be about $605.97 today! Cher — Let’s say that was 50 years ago.

My first experience with compounding was in elementary school. I can still remember vividly saving dimes from my allowance in a little dime holder and bringing them to school when the holder was filled. After putting the dimes in the bank, we checked our bank books at the end of the year. The $5 had turned into $5.15. I was so amazed and excited that I drove my parents crazy talking about it. I try to keep that same enthusiasm about the miracle of R.E. growth and compounding even today. "Indeed", it is worth shouting about. Ah the “eight wonder of the world”.
