Have you ever heard of the eighth wonder of the
world? We all know that there are Seven Wonders of the World. So what am I
saying? Eighth wonder of the world? Really?!
Maybe you’re thinking now that I’m fooling around and saying “You must
be kidding. There are only Seven Wonders of the World!”. But hey, I’m not
kidding. There is an 8th Wonder of the World and I’m going to share
it with you! Let me tell you what is it, and the 8th Wonder of the
World is...(*drumroll please!) COMPOUND INTEREST!
Yes you got it right! The Eighth Wonder of the World
is not a place or anything but simply COMPOUND INTEREST. Do you know who
discovers it as the eighth wonder of the world? Albert Einstein is the man!
Albert Einstein once said, “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the
world. He who understands it, earns it... He who doesn’t, pays it.” Do you
believe in that? Well if you’re going to ask me, I do believe that’s why I’m
sharing this to you.
What is Compound(Compounding) Interest? How
does it work?
Compounding interest is simply having interest
on interest. How does it work? I’ll give you an example.
Let’s say you have Php50,000 and you have
nothing to do with it. Now you decided to put it in a Time deposit in your bank
and the banker says that he will give you a 5% interest annually for 5 Years.
Let’s compute it:
Year
|
Principal(P)
|
5% Interest(i)
|
P + i
|
Total
|
0
|
50,000
|
(50,000x5%) = 2,500
|
50,000 + 2,500
|
52,500
|
1
|
52,500
|
(52,500x5%) = 2,625
|
52,500 + 2,625
|
55,125
|
2
|
55,125
|
(55,125x5%) = 2756.25
|
55,125 + 2756.25
|
57,881.25
|
3
|
57,881.25
|
(57,881.25x5%)
|
57,881.25 + 2894
|
60,775.25
|

|
60,775.25

(60,775.25x5%)

60,775.25 + 3038.76

63, 814.01

63,814.01

Congratulations!
You just earn a total of Php 13,814.01 without doing anything. Isn’t that
great? Now do you believe with Einstein that it is the Eighth Wonder of the
World? No? Yeah right. Maybe Php 13,814.01 earnings within five years is just
not enough. But let me tell you this. Time deposit is just not the only vehicle
used for compounding interest and for me, I don’t prefer it for the growth of
my money. There are other vehicles that you can use which will give you higher
interest as much as 12% and 16% interest. Let’s say Vehicle B gives you 12%
interest and vehicle C gives you 16% interest annually. Let’s compare it with
Time Deposit and classify it as Vehicle A.

Now tell me, do you
see the real power of Compounding Interest? Bro. Bo Sanchez thought of
Compounding Interest as the Greatest Magic on Earth. But this magic can be also
dangerous that’s why Albert Einstein quoted “He who understands it, earns it.
He who doesn’t, pays it.” What does that mean? From the example above, I have
shown you how will you earn with the use of compounding interest. Now I’m going
to tell you how people pays for it.
Do you get some
Loans? Or do you use your credit card that much? Compounding interest also
applies with these things. If you’re used to have loans and you use your credit
card in a bad way(yes there are good ways of using your credit card), you have
compounding interest as your enemy. And I’m telling you, you’re in a big
trouble. So make up your mind and have compounding interest with your side.
