You’re never too young to start saving.
So those as young as age 13 are invited to Money School, a free, financial education day to be held Saturday at Brainerd Crossroads.
If you start investing at age 13, thanks to the “miracle” of compound interest in which an investment’s interest is reinvested, small beginnings can yield huge returns at retirement age.
“If you’re talking about saving for 40 years versus 45 years, those extra five years make a massive difference,” said local financial blogger and speaker, Nick True of Mapped Out Money, who will give a talk titled “How Long Will It Take You to Become a Millionaire: The Power of Savings.”
