"Never depend on a single source of income.
​
Make an investment to create a second source."
Warren Buffett
How much money would you have made investing in the S&P 500 42 years ago?
If you had invested £1,000 into the S&P 500 42 years ago, it would be worth over £32,500 today! (9.1% annual return)
​
After one year, you would have made £91 on your £1,000 investment (9.1% * £1,000).
​
In the second year, you would have made £99 (£1,091 * 9.1%)!
​
In the third year, you would have made £109 ((1,091+£99)* 9.1%)!
​
This demonstrates the power of compounding your money.
​
Without needing to work a single minute, you would have made over £31,500 profit.
​
This is how investors like Warren Buffett have managed to amass so much wealth over extended periods. According to Forbes, as of January 2023, Warren Buffett has a net worth of £88 Billion over 81 years of investing.
