Albert Einstein is often credited with calling compound interest the 8th Wonder of the World.
The idea is simple:
Growth earns growth.
You don’t just gain on what you start with — you gain on the gains as well.
That’s why small amounts, given enough time and repetition, can become surprisingly large amounts.

What begins as just 1 grain on the first square becomes an unimaginable total by the final square — simply by doubling each time.
