Generation

# Compound Interest **Precise Definition:** Compound interest is interest calculated on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods, resulting in exponential growth over time according to the formula A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt). **Why It Matters:** Compound interest is the most powerful force in wealth building because even small amounts saved early can grow dramatically over decades, while it equally works against you with debt, causing balances to snowball rapidly. Understanding this concept is essential for making informed decisions about saving, investing, and borrowing that can mean the difference between financial security and struggle.
