BISMILLAHIR RAMANIR RAHEEM. AVOID DEALING WITH INTEREST. INTEREST IS SINFULL TO DEAL WITH. GOD INCREASES CHARITY AND DESTROYS USURY (INTEREST). WHEN IT COMES TO INTEREST IT GETS WORSE AS GOD AND HIS MESSENGER WILL GO TO WAR WITH YOU FOR DEALING WITH INTEREST IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.

One of the first rules of finance is:

Nominal rate - inflation = real rate

As in I put my money in a savings account at your local bank for 5% per year, inflation is 3% so 5-3=2%

2% is the real amount of interest is what you are getting on your money/ year.

Multiply that by 20, 30, 40 years and you see how that eats away at your investments.


edit: this nowhere near reflects interest rates today.

I'm thinking that inflation will eat up a BIG chunk of that though. Inflation is a motherfukker.

that article is BS and any 20 year old thinkin about retirement and saving up the infamous "1 million" is a fool drinking the kool-aid....the whole concept of retirement and saving pennies for your medical expenses in your 60s is a sad life especially since most people won't even be able to retire with that amount....how about u spend ur 20s trying to figure out how to not work for someone else and stop playing it safe
