⚖️ Do's & Don'ts of Wealth Building

Best Practices (Do's)

  • Start compounding as early as possible. Time is the most powerful variable in the formula.
  • Automate your monthly contributions so you build wealth before you have a chance to spend it.
  • Adjust calculations for inflation to understand your actual future purchasing power.

Common Pitfalls (Don'ts)

  • Don't panic-sell during market downturns. Volatility is the price of high long-term returns.
  • Don't ignore investment fees (expense ratios). High fees eat a huge portion of compounding over 30 years.
  • Don't count on a static rate of return. Markets fluctuate; always simulate conservative scenarios.

💡 Compound Interest & FIRE FAQs

Compound interest is earning interest on your interest. In the early years, growth is slow because you are mostly earning on your principal. But over decades, the interest earned begins to dwarf your contributions, causing your wealth curve to rise exponentially.

The 4% rule states that you can safely withdraw 4% of your retirement nest egg in the first year, and adjust that dollar amount for inflation every year after, with a very high probability that your money will last at least 30 years. Your FIRE target nest egg is annual expenses divided by 0.04 (or multiplied by 25).

If you project $1,000,000 in 30 years, it sounds like a lot. However, with an average 2.5% annual inflation rate, that $1M will only buy what $476,000 buys today. Adjusting for inflation shows you your future balance in 'today's dollars' so your projections are realistic.
