Compound interest earns returns on both your original investment and previously earned returns.
More frequent compounding yields slightly higher returns. Monthly is typical for most accounts.
Starting just five years earlier can double your final returns due to exponential growth from having a longer compounding time horizon.
Broad market index funds in tax-advantaged accounts like IRAs and 401k plans offer excellent long-term compounding with relatively low fees.
