24. Dealing with Risk
Rule of 72
Divide 72 by the annual rate of return to
determine how long it will take for your money
to double
i.e. 72/10 = 7.2 years (stock market)
72/1 = 72 years (savings account)
You need to take some risk and give time to
work
29. Retire on Your Terms
Someone 15 years from retirement
who expects 10% return per year on
his investments has to contribute
$2400 per month to reach 1 million
A college graduate with 45 years to
save at the same interest rate only
has to save $95 per month (at 10%
return per year) to reach 1 million
