If at age 25 you deposit $100 a month into a mutual fund with an annualized return of 10% a year, you\u2019ll have about $640,000 when you\u2019re 65. You\u2019ll have deposited a total of $48,000 of your own money. On the other hand, if you procrastinate and wait until you\u2019re 40 to start saving, you\u2019ll need to come up with another $142,000 out of your own pocket to have the same amount at age 65. That\u2019s the power of compounding \u2013 the power of money making money for you.<\/p>\n

Many investors think they can just make a small initial deposit and then market returns will make them rich. Here\u2019s the reality: contributions matter more than investment returns when you\u2019re building your portfolio. While it\u2019s true that investment returns can help grow your wealth and protect it from inflation, they alone don\u2019t have the power to make you rich.<\/p>\n

The chart below illustrates three scenarios for an investor earning $100,000 annually and investing 10% of his income over a decade. In a moderate portfolio that earns 6% annually, illustrated in the middle column, contributions account for 73% of the portfolio! Even in a bull market that earns 12% annually, contributions matter more than returns. In this case, illustrated in the third column, contributions represent 52% of the portfolio.<\/p>\n
