@bigmoneyjby, I see. I still gotta agree with BrenttheGreat though -- it would be nice if more schools taught basic investment and money management skills. I think if more people could handle their budgets properly, we'd all be better off.
@magicmindman Never said it wasn't bad to get invested early. I'm just saying that once everyone does the same investment, the Future Value of that investment is gone.
@bigmoneyjby, Inflation affects all investments. This doesn't negate the fact that it is best to start investing early if you want time and compounding interest on your side. Not everyone will choose the same investments.
@magicmindman If everyone creates money at the same rate, than that money created is not worth anything. The interest would simply be the rate of inflation.
That could be true for many investment strategies, but it's not true for compound interest. Compound interest is more of a mathematical formula than a strategy.
