00:00:01.101 --> 00:00:02.803
Do you know the rule of 72?

00:00:03.403 --> 00:00:05.038
It's an easy way to calculate

00:00:05.105 --> 00:00:07.908
just how long it's going to take
your money to double.

00:00:08.041 --> 00:00:09.643
Just take the number 72

00:00:09.710 --> 00:00:12.512
and divide it by the interest rate
you hope to earn.

00:00:12.579 --> 00:00:15.449
That number gives you the approximate
number of years it will take

00:00:15.515 --> 00:00:17.117
for your investment to double.

00:00:17.184 --> 00:00:20.554
As you can see,
a one time contribution of $10,000

00:00:20.787 --> 00:00:23.390
doubles 6 more times at a 12% return

00:00:23.724 --> 00:00:24.958
than at 3%.

00:00:25.292 --> 00:00:28.061
How many doubling periods
do you have in your life?
