Generation

Compound interest is the process where interest earns interest over time, causing exponential growth of investments or debt. It's significant because even small amounts saved early can grow substantially over long periods, while debts can similarly balloon if left unpaid. This principle is fundamental to building wealth through long-term investing and understanding the true cost of borrowing.
