66: Contributions are MORE Important Than Compounding (at first)
May 03, 2024
Kolin

In this episode of The Decade Investor Podcast, Kolin talks about why contributions are more important than returns in your portfolio when it comes to growth. Especially when you are just starting out. Kolin shares the math behind his reasoning and why you need to focus on just consistently buying into your portfolio at first. The main growth from your portfolio size year over year will come from you just consistently adding more money. As your portfolio starts to grow and grow and grow, this is when compounding will slowly start to take over more and more of your account growth each year. But at first, focus on just consistently adding to your portfolio.
