I’m sure most of you have heard about the benefits of compound interest. Compound interest is when the interest you earn on a savings or investment balance is reinvested, leading to exponential growth in your money. It’s like your money making more money.

So the question I plan on tackling today is how much earlier can you retire based on the change in savings rate, 10 years or so from retirement.
