The same arithmetic that makes a head start powerful makes a delay expensive. Saving $500/month at 7% for 30 years builds about $603,000; starting five years late and stopping 30 years after your first payment leaves roughly $205,000 less — and catching up takes $753/month, not $500. See the math, with the sources — updated monthly from Freddie Mac, Case-Shiller and Census data.

Compound interest is interest earned on interest. As your investment grows, each period's return is calculated
on a larger base, creating exponential growth over time.
The Rule of 72: Divide 72 by your annual return rate to estimate how many years it takes
to double your money. At 8% return, your money doubles roughly every 9 years.
