How Much Does A Cup Of Coffee Cost?
Would you believe $465.84? Or more?
If you buy a cup of coffee every day for $1.00 (an awfully good price for a decent cup of coffee, nowadays), that adds up to $365.00 a year. If you saved that $365.00 for just one year, and put it into a savings account or investment that 5% a year, it would grow to $465.84 by the end of 5 years, and by the end of 30 years, to $1,577.50.
That’s the power of “compounding.” With compound interest, you earn interest on the money you save and on the in the interest that money earns. Over time, even a small amount saved can add up to big money.
