The Rule of 72 — How Fast Is Your Money Growing?
The Rule of 72 is simple:
👉 72 ÷ your rate of return = years it takes your money to double.
Now let’s apply it.
If you invest $10,000 and leave it invested for 30 years:
At 3%
• Money doubles in about 24 years
• In 30 years, $10,000 becomes about $24,000
At 6%
• Money doubles in about 12 years
• In 30 years, $10,000 becomes about $57,000
At 9%
• Money doubles in about 8 years
• In 30 years, $10,000 becomes about $132,000
Same starting amount.
Very different outcomes.
That’s the power of compounding — and the power of time in the market.
The goal isn’t guessing.
It’s understanding how fast your money is working and whether it’s positioned to grow efficiently over time.
Ask yourself:
If the difference between 3% and 9% can mean over $100,000 in 30 years… where is your money sitting today?
👉 If this helped you see growth differently, comment “72” 💚
